FATHER Of SIXTEEN
SAYS TANLAC SAVED
HIM FROM GRAVE

What is probably the most remarka-
BILE Endorsement ever given proprie-
tary medicine was the statement made
recently by H. ]. Williams, coal
miner at the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Co., mine No. s, near Fairfield, Ala,
in the Birmingham district.
The story of his wonderful restora-
ton to health was told in his own
words, and is profoundly interesting.
His statement follows:
81 am 81 years of age, and am the
father of sixteen children, eight living
and eight dead. | came to Birming-
ham from East Tennessee, and have
followed mining for good many
years.
About two years ago l took sick.
The doctors at first thought l hap
Tapeworm. then Hookworm, and final
ly decided it was Pellagra. I took
treatment from a well known Ala
bama Pellagra Cure, but got no bene-
fit. The doctors finally told me they
couldn't do me any good, and 1 quit
going to see them.
Il suffered from sort of numb feel
ing all the time in my back and was
dizzy-headed. l couldn't stoop over,
or stand on my feet for any length of
time, and couldn't hardly eat anything
ard nothing tasted good In fact, I
was slowly starving to death.
81 lost all of my strength and fell
off As pounds in weight. l used to
weigh, when / was well, 1873 pounds,
and got down to where l only weighed
80 pounds, and as almost walking
skeleton.
81 finally decided that there asc no
more hope for me in this lift, and l
gave nv ring to my wife and told her
to put the children in the Odd Eel
lows Home when / died.
This is just the shape l was in
when, one day, my little daughter
said Papa, why don't you try that
new medicine everybody is talking
about? 1t has helped SO many peo-
Pile, it might help YOU Of course /
had no faith in anything, but just to
please the family. l made one more
trial and got this Tanlac May the
good Lord bless the day l got this
medicine, for it was my salvation.
Il got relief from the first bottle,
and / began to eat and pick up right
from the start. | am now ON my fifth
bottle, and have actually gained back
Is pounds, and now weigh lis. 1t just
looked like the more took the better
I got, and l keep on picking up every
day.
Il went over to the mines yesterday
and made arrangements to go bask to
work. l am strong enough to walk
around wherever want to go, some
thing have not been able to do for
over year, and that is fact. Tanlac
mighty nigh raised me from the dead,
that's what it done for me. If you
don't believe what have told you just
ask any of the men around mine No. s,
and they will tell you the fix l was in,
and how much better off | am now.
Thank God l will soon be able to
earn living for my family, and will
owe it all to this medicine, Tanlac. /
have just written to daughter of
mine in LaFolette, Tenn, who needs
medicine like this, and | want her to
take it and get we'll
Il don't believe now | ever had Pei
lagra, because | never did have any
breaking out of any kind. l don't be-
lieve l had Hookworm eoither but
whatever it was, this Tanlac has GER
tainly fixed me- l don't reckon there
ever was medicine on earth like
Tanlac. l will always bless the day
bought this medicine"

icus by Aliens Drug and Seed Store.
