MRS. CHAS. PEDDEN,
OF HUNTSVILLE
GAINS 27 POUNDS
WAS TWICE EXAMINED AND
EACH TINE WAS TOLD OPERA
TION WOULD RT ONLY HOPE.
CASE is REMARKABLE.

Il have just finished my third bot
tie of Tanlac and have gained TWEEN
ty-seven pounds was the truly re-
markable statement made by Mrs.
Charles Peden, residing at $50 Mill
street, Huntsville, Ala. Mrs. Peden
is one of the best known and highly
respected women of that thriving lit
tie city, where she has made her
home for a number of years.
when | commenced taking the
medicine" she continued, Il only
weighed ninety-eight (9S) pounds;
now l weigh 125 pounds and never
felt better in my life. For years |
have suffered with a bad form of
stomach trouble, constipation and
pains in my side and back. At times
the pains took the form of torture
and | was twice examined, and each
time | was told chat l had anpendi-
citis and that an operation would be
my only hope. l had fallen off and
only weighed ninety-eight pounds,
and was so weak I could hardly get
around.
Il had no appetite at all scarcely,
and what little l did eat would cause
gas to form in my stomach, which
! gave me palpitation of the heart,
sick headaches and a dizzy feeling
about the head. When these spells
came on me | would get awfully ner-
vous. | worried about myself until /
could rest and sleep but little.
Il had fallen off until | was al
most skin and bones and my
strength and energy were slowly
! leaving me. | had a dread of the
future and could see nothing but the
operating table and knife. | had a
perfect horror of an operation, but
! had made up my mind that it was
either life or death, and prepared to
submit to it. | had made all prepa-
rations for the operation and called
on my sister to tell her goodbye, as
| did not know whether | would live
to see her again or not. My sister
begged and plead with me not to let
them cut on me, and told me to wait
and try a good tonic for while. The
next day as | returned from the con-
sultation room | thought of what she
said, and as | had heard so much
about Tanlac | decided to try it as
/ last I6SOIJ anu olOppSu at Ni1lDCl Z .
drug store and got. a bottle. OF
course l had lost heart and had no
faith in the medicine, but to please
my sister l made up my mind to take
it, and, oh, what a happy day that
was for me!
Il never returned for the operation
but just kept taking the Tanlac
Right from the start | began to fee
better. The medicine seemed to take
hold right at once. 1t had a sooth-
ing effect, and in a lew days felt nc
pain at all. l was so happy over the
, wonderful improvement in my condi'
ton that | sent for my neighbors tc
tell them how much better | felt.
sent and got another bottle of Tan
lac, and have just finished taking
my third bottle and feel like | have
been made all over again into new
woman.
"As l have said before. l now
weigh 125 pounds, and my improve
ment has been so rapid that none
of my clothes are big enough for me
| will have to make them all oVel
again. l now have a ravenous appe'
tite, and my husband says | am sim
Iply eating him out of house and
. home. l have even gone back to my
coffee, which l was told not to touch
Those terrible pains in my back and
. head have all disappeared and l sleeI
like child. | am no longer nervous
and when | get up mornings / fee
refreshed cheerful and bright. | am
! now able to attend to my household
duties, and l feel as if l had started
. life all over again. My husband ie
highly delighted, and my recovery is
the talk of the neighborhOod. l dc
nothing but rejoice all day long over
the recovery of my health and praise
Tanlac to everybody.
Il feel so grateful for my escape
from the operating table and the
knife that you may publish what
have said; you may if you wish tell
other women suffering as | was to
come and see me and | will be glad
: to tell them all about my case"
