MRS. CHAS. PEDEN
GAINS q POUNDS
Was Twice Examined, and Each Time
Told Operation was Only Hope.

! ty-seven pounds" was the truely 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 city, where
she has made her home for num-
Der of years
when | commenced taking the
medicine she continued, Il only
weighed 9S pounds; now | weigh
l25 pounds, and never felt bett err
in my life. For years l have suffer-
ed with bad form of stomach troub-
lie, 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
that l had appendicitis and that an
operation would be my only hope.
had fallen off until l only weighed
ninety-eight pounds and was so weak
| could hardly get around
Il had no appetite at all scarcely,
and what little did 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 awfully nervous. l
worried about myself until l could
rest and sleep but little.
81 had fallen off until l was al
most skin and bones and my
strength and energy were slowly leav
ing me. l 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 Ell
Their life or death, and prepared 10
submit to it. | had made all prepar-
atoms for the operation and called
in my sister to tell her goodbye as
l did not know whether | would live
to see her again or not. My sister
begged and pleaded with me not to
to wait and try a good tonic for a.
while. The next day as l returned
from the consultation room l thought
of what she had said, and as l had
heard much about Tonlac, l de-
cidied to try it as last
resort and stopped at Gill
bert's Drug Store and got 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
81 never returned for the opera
ton, but just kept taking the Tanlac.
Right from the start l began to feel
better. The medicine seemed to take
hold right at once. 1t had sooth-
ing effect and in few days l felt
no pains at all. l was so happy over
the wonderful improvement in my
condition that l sent for my neigh
bors to tell them how much better
1 felt. l sent and got another bot
tie of Tanlac, and have just finish
ed taking my third bottle and feel
like | have been made all over again
into a new woman.
LAS l have said before | now weigh
1875 pounds and my improvement has
! been so rapid that none of my clio
thes are big enough for me. l Will
have to make them all over again.
now have a ravenous appetite and
my husband says l am simply eating
him out of house and home. | have
even gone back to my coffee, which
was told not to touch. Those terri
BILE pains in my back and head have
all disappeared and | sleep like a
child. | am no longer nervous and
when l get up mornings l feel re-
| frelhed, cheerful and bright. l am
now able to attend to my householi
duties and l feel as if l had started
life all over again. My husband Is
highly delighted and my recovery is
the talk of the neighborhood. | do
nothing but rejoice all day long over
the recovery Of my health and praise
Tanlac to everybody.
81 feel 50 grateful for my escape
from the operating table and the
knife, that you may publish what |
have said; you may, if you with, tell
other women suffering as l was to
come and see me, and I will be glad
to tell them all about my case
