MOTHER OF 8 GEIS QUICK AID Household duties, together with 'he care of eight children, was a little more than Mrs. P. Lindermun, 226 W. Sunbury &t., Shamokin, could stand, she says. "My nerves became unruly, I couldn't sleep right at night and finally my appetite went bac-k on me. Catarrh, which I had suffered with for years, added to my misery, until one day I decided to try Tan lac. "Now all is different. Tanlac got my stomach working right, my nerves are as strong as iron; ! have a ravenous appetite and catarrh is a thing of the past. Thanks to Tar.-- lac." Tanlac, which builds up the sys tem, creates a healthy appetite, promotes digestion, vitalizes the m ood and brings buck color to the cheeks and the sparkle of health to the eyes, is sold here by all leading druggists.
