THIS WOMAN HAD 4 MIND OF HER OWN
 COULDN'T FOOL HER
One Dealer Said Medicine Was No Good, But She Had Already Used It
 and Knew Better

''Give me two bottles of that Tanlac medicine please. I live so far from town and had such hard time getting it, want to be sure I don't have to do with out it. I have already used one bottle and it helped me so much, l just know this will be enough to make me as strong and well as I ever was. I went to sev- eral drug stores uptown before I found the right place. None of them kept Tan lac, and one told me they didn't think it was any good. I told this man he had a right to his opinion, but I had used one bottle, and knew better, so I kept on hunting until l found it.
 When a person has suffered as much and as long as I have, they can appre- ciate something that makes them well, and that is the way l feel about Tan lac.''
 This is what Mrs. Fife Langston said in Patton-Popes Wednesday afternoon Mrs Langston lives on Red mountain and her postoffice address is Route l, Box 256 D.
 The Tanlac representative, who was present at the time, asked Mrs. Lang- ston if he might publish what she had to say concerning Tanlac.
 Yes, indeed, put it in all the papers. I am glad to do that much for any poor soul that is suffering, for, God knows, l have had my share of it, and l wouldn't have heard about it except through other people, and what I read in the papers.
 T hadn't been in good health for seven long years" she continued, "and about three years ago, I had to stand an op- eration for troubles peculiar to my sex, and it seemed I just went gradually down from that day.
 After that it just looked like my bow els became paralyzed and I had to be taking medicine of some sort all the time. My stomach was very weak and l couldn't hardly keep down anything l ate. lost all the appetite I ever had and seemed to grow weaker and weaker day by day
 Bye and bye my kidneys got affected and I suffered agonizing pains like rheu- matism in my back, sides and limbs.s would have the most awful sick head aches and got so nervous sometimes I would almost scream at the least noise or excitement. was weak and wornout and some days don't know how on earth I ever lived through it all Nights were hideous to me, for I couldn't sleep and the next morning I got up feeling more dead than alive.
 T would feel drowsy and droopy, with no energy in me. I didn't care for a bite to eat and most of what did get down me came back again. Of course, all this weakened me terribly. I fell away to almost a shadow and as the trouble wore on l began to get melancholy and low spirited
 My husband worried a great deal about me- too, for he didn't know what he would do with the children without me, but it seemed nothing would help me particle. We tried all kinds of doctoring and the house looked like small drug store, but I got not one bit better.
 But, thank God. there was something to relieve me, and it was this Tanlac. heard some of the neighbors talking about it and one day read of woman who was afflicted about like myself who got relief from it. I could hardly wait to get this medicine. for I just knew from the start it was what needed
 Tt is the truth, got more help from taking that one bottle of Tanlac than all the doctoring and taking different kinds or medicine for seven years. I know what I am talking about and if you had seen me before you would understand. Why. I told my husband the other day l was going to town to get more Taalac. but I could hardly get into my clothes. l had feshened up so. I just eat like someone that had been starved and di- sest every bit of it. My kidneys are all right and I suffer no pain. And sleep. l almost am afraid sometimes I won't wake up at all, but I am due whole lot Of sleep to make up for lost time.
 This medicine has picked me up from where I could not have lasted much longer and is making a strong well woman out of me. and know it. and want everybody else to know it. I have nc false pri1e about me- for I want to five and enjoy life. the same as anyone else so why be backward about having your name in the paper when something nas helped you when nothing else would?
 Il am thankful for what Tanlac has done and is going to do for me, my home IS brighter and I feel like I have a long tune to live yet for my husband and chil- dren."
