TORONTO MAN HAS GAINED
TWELVE POUNDS.
Doesn't Bebeve There is s' Medicine on
Earth that Equals Tarlac.
1I have just finished my second bottle
of Tanlac and have actually gained twelve
pounds," was the remarkable statement
made a few days ago by Peter Borthwick,
of 152 Lappan avenue, Toronto. Mr.
Boethwiek has been a resident of Toronto
for thirty years and has been employed
for the past ten years by the Gunn Pack-
ing Company.
"1 never liked the idea of having my
name in the papers," he continued, "bdt
Tanlac has helped me so much that I feel
it my dirty to make this statement. Up
to the time 1 began taking Tarlac I had
been suffering for about two years with an
aggravated case of stomach trouble, and
one time I was told I couldn't live six
months longer without an operation. My
appetite was entirely gone and everything
1 ate, no matter what, disagreed with me.
Before 1 could get up from the table I
would turn sick and could seldom retain
anything 1 had eaten. My food would
sour, sharp pains filled my chest and all
day long at my work 1 had a gnawing
sensation in my stomach and the pains at
times would almost draw me double. I
have spent days of misery at the plant
when I would almost collapse, my suffer-
ing was so great, and I could hardly do
my work. I had fallen off from 150
pounds to 12(4 and was so weak I really
don't see how 1 managed to keep going.
"About a year ago I spent some time in
the hospital. and during the past two
years it seems to me 1 tried everything
and spent I don't know how much money,
but everything failed me until 1 began
taking Tanlac. 1 had been reading the
Tanlac testimonials and finally I told my
wife 1 believed it would help me. It cer-
tainly has. The results of the two bottles
I have already taken have been nothing
less than remarkable. My appetite has
improved and my stomach is strengthened
until I can eat and retain most anything
1 want. Potatoes, pork chops and many
other such things that I couldn't eat be-
fore agree with me now, and that gnawing
sensation and the pain has about all left
my stomach and chest. 1 now weigh 1.40
pounds -have picked up twelve pounds
already -and am still gaining in weight
and getting stronger every day. 1 don't
believe there's another medicine equal to
Tanlac and I appreciate what it has done
for me too much to not tell others about
it."
Tanlac is sold in Goderich by E. R.

Directory First!
WN you call a telephone number from
memory or when you guess at it you
are apt to be wrong.
g The mind has a trick of transposing figures--
instead of "1263" you are quite likely to say
"1623."
q And when you thus ask for the wrong
number, you waste your own time. the opera-
tor's, and the time of the person called through
your error.
q Directory first is a good principle. in the
end it saves time and temper to first consult
the latest issue of the telephone book.
