About 10 days ago Mr.. j. B. Battle.
who is well known in this city, came into
Jacobs pharmacy to get "a bottle of
Tanlac for his sister-in-law, Mrs. o. c..
Cason, who lives some distance out of
Atlanta near Acworth. While making the
purchase, Mr.. Battle told of the wonder
full improvement in Mrs. Casons condi-
ton since she began using the medicine
about six weeks ago.
He also made the statement that Mrs
Cason felt so grateful for the wonderful
benefit she had received that she wanted
to make a public statement as she felt
it her duty to tell the whole world about
Tanlac He then suggested that DIR. Ell
der, the Tanlac representative at Jacobs
call at his residence for a personal inter
view
When DR.. Elder called at Mr.. Bat
ties residence on English avenue the fol-
lowing morning. it happened that Mr..
Battle, himself, met him at the door
and very cordially invited him into his
living room. Mrs. Cason who was bright
and happy soon made her appearance
and began with delight to tell of the
wonderful recovery of her health, and
her statement will go down in history as
being one of the most remarkable ever
given a proprietary medicine Here is
her story in her own words:
about six weeks ago left my home
on our farm near Acworth, Ga, to come
to my sisters home here i'll Atlanta,
and / left with only a shadow of hope
of ever returning alive to my home and
husband.
II left Acworth," she continued "in a
comfortable automobile, propped up on
pillows coming through the country. |
had almost much medicine as ] had
baggage-a big box full of all kinds Of
medicines that had been prescribed for
me. / reached here very weak and ex-
hausted and with scarcely enough
strength to walk to the door, This
trouble from which I had suffered so long
had reduced me to almost a shadow as
only weighed 60 pounds.
MY brother-in-law Mr.. Battle, said
We'll you have tried everything else with
no relief, now ] want you to lay aside
your drug shop and take Tanlac.' OF
course, [ was willing to try it for the
medicine is the talk of the whole coun-
try. Well, he got it for me, and I started
on my first bottle that day.
when I had taken about half of the
first bottle / began to feel stronger and
encouraged. T continued to take it and
it is nothing short of marvellous how
improved day by day. L felt myself fur
Their and further from the grave. My
appetite returned and my food seemed to
nourish me and agree with me. My skin
ana complexion began clearing up ana
improved in every way possible until /
am now we'll woman, and when l say
we'll I mean absolutely what I say.
want to tell the whole world that l thank
God for Tanlac.
II weight 95 pounds now and feel as
well as I ever felt in my life. l am
going back to my husband and home on
the little farm, five miles from Acworth,
tomorrow, and won't it be a joyful meet
ing returning to my husband and home
absolutely well and happy-and won't l
tell everybody about what Tanlac has
done for me-
YES, it's just like she says. chimed in
Mr. Battle about this time. Tanlac has
simply robbed the grave, and if you
could have seen her when she started
on this medicine you would say the same
thing.
81 didn't know at the time just what
her troubles was, but the doctors said she
had pellagra. She may have had it for
all know, but there is one thing certain,
she hasn't got it now. or at least you
wouldn't think SO il you could watch her
eat l told her iokingly the other day
that she was eating me out of house
and home. I don't guess there ever was a
case like hers and there is one thing
certain you can count on us telling every
body about it, because I fully believe
she owes her life to this medicine today"
