Doctors Told Him He Had Consumption-Takes Tan
 lac and Gains 12 Pounds
BACK AT WORK AGAIN PUTTING IN FULL TIME
Declares He Was Down and Out and Unable to Do Any
 Work for Four Months

T want everybody to know l would not be on my Job here today if 1t had not been for Tanlac. l was down and put and in the hospital and the doe tors told me I had consumption, but l didn't believe them. They couldn't do me one bit of good. I couldn't hit a lick of work from April 1 to Sep tember l, but thanks to Tanlac, l am at it again now. I have already gained i pounds, and am actually five pounds heavier than 1 ever was in my life It seems like l am gaining flesh and strength every day, and you don't know how much better and different l feel
 This statement was made by C. B. Cothran, switch tender at Thirteenth street and Railroad avenue. Mir. Goth ran is valued employe of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad, and has been in the employ of that road many years. He is popular and well known by railroad men of this city.
 My troubles began 16 years ago, he continued, when 1 had pneumonia fever which settled in my bowels and left me In a. terrible condition. l couldn't eat anything to speak of ana my stomach seemed to be full or gas all the time A year ago, I was forced to go to the hospital
 "I had about lost all the strengt tn I ever had and was very nervous ana restless. I couldn't sleep to do any good. Blind and dizzy sensations would come over me at times, and l could not read or write. My back and sides ached terribly and l almost lost con trol over my kidneys. I just simply played out. None of the medicines l took did me any good
 q just rocked along, getting no bet ter, until finally I laid down every thing and simply quit trying to work, for l couldn't hardly stand up.
 Several of my railroad friends were taking this Tanlac and were getting good results, and when one of them urged me to try it, l bought bottle, little believing it would really help me. That was a lucky notion l took. Why, it has done me more good than all the medicines and doctoring I ever had in all my life. I am on my fourth bottle and there is no use talking, 1t has lifted me right up and put me on my feet in a little while. Nothing bothers me now from the time I go to bed to the time I wake up, l sleep so sound. My appetite is fine and my color Is much better. l tell you, l feel like an entirely new man. My only regret Is I could not find this medi- cine years ago. I tell you, it does even more than you claim for it.
 q am not the only person I know of who Tanlac has helped for several friends of mine have been greatly bene- fited by it, and I have started my sis ter taking it. She Is in a run down condition and l know Tanlac will be a blessing for her just as 1t has been for me. l have spent many hard earned dollars for doctors bills and medicines, but I tell you the money l paid out for Tanlac was put to the best ad- vantage"
