|MRS. CHAS. PEDEN
 OF HUNTSVILLE GAINS q LBS.
Was Twice Examined and Each Time Was Told Operation Would Be
 Necessary

T have just finished my third bottle or Tanlac and have gained 27 pounds was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs. Charles Peden, residing at 550 Mill street, Huntsville, Ala. Mrs. Peden is | one of the best known and most highly respected women of that thriving little city, where she has made her home for a number of years
 When l commenced taking the medi- cine, she continued, "I only weighed 9S pounds. l now weigh 125 pounds, and never felt better in my life. For years have suffered with bad form of stomch trouble. constipation and pains in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of torture and 1 was twice ex- amined and each time I was told I had appendicitis and that an operation would be my only hope. I had fallen off until only weighed 9S pounds and was so weak I could hardly get around.
 T had no appetite at all scarcely, and what little I dd eat would cause gas to form in my stomach which gave me palpitation of the heart. sick headaches and dizzy feeling about the head. When these spells came on me would get aw- fully nervous. I worried about myself until I could rest and sleep but little.
 T had fallen off until I was almost skin and bones, and my strength and energy were slowly leaving me. I had \ dread of the future and could see noth- ing but the operating table and the knife. l had a perfect horror of an operation hbut had made up my mind that it was s}ther life or death and prepared to sub init to it. I had made all preparation for the operation and called in my sister to tell her good-by as I did not know whether I would live to see her again or not. My sister begged and plead with me not to allow them to cut on me and told me to wait and try a good tonic for awhile. The next day as I re- turned from the consultation room, I thought of what she said and as 1 heard so much about Tanlac I decided to try 1t as a last resort and stopped at Gil berts Drug store, and got a bottle Of course, I had lost heart and had no faith in the medicine, but just to please my sister made up my mind to take it, and oh! what happy day that was for mel
 q never returned for the operation but just kept taking the Tanlac Right from the start I began to feel better The medicine seemed to take hold right at once. It had soothing effect and in few days I felt no pains at all was so happy over the wonderful inn provement in my condition that I sent for my neighbors to tell them how much better I felt I sent and got an other bottle of Tanlac and have just finished taking my third bottle, and feel like I have been made all over again into new woman.
 "As I have said before I now weigh |125 pounds and my improvement has been so rapid that none of my clothes LRre big enough for me. I will have to make them all over again. I now have a ravenous appetite and my husband |says 1 am simply eating him out of house and home. 1 have even gone hack to my coffee, which I was told must not touch. Those terrible pains in my back and head have all disap- peared and sleep like a child. l am no longer nervous and when 1 get LII mornings I feel refreshed cheerful ano bright. l am now able to attend to my household duties and I now feel as If l had started life all over again My husband is highly delighted and my recovery is the talk of the neigh. horhood l do nothing but rejoice al day long now over the recovery of my health and praise Tanlac to everybody feel so grateful for my escape iron the operating table and the knife thai you may publish what I have said and you may, if you wish, tell other womer suffering as I was, to come and sec me and I will tell them all about m, case"
