 Ten Pounds

When they took me to the hospital day again." said Miss Lille Akers, re- siding at 1164 Twenty eighth avenue, south. Nashville, a few days ago in talk ing to the Tanlac representative regard ing her remarkable restoration to health.
 For long time I suffered with stomach trouble and indigestion" she continued, '"and fell of from 125 pounds until l only weighed 100 pounds. l was so weak I couldn't dress myself, let alone do anything about the house. l just ached all over, first in my should CTS and back. and then in my limbs. My stomach was so weak and digestion so poor I had to live on the lightest food
 'I had sick headache, dizzy spells, and felt so run down, until l didn't care whether 1 lived or died-even my eyes pained me and the pains would extend to my head and ears. My blood was thin, my color was bad and l didn't seem to have any strength or en- ergy. l even had choking sensation in my throat and frequently suffered with smothering spells. I couldn't sleep to do any good. and l was so nervous that the noise of the street cars almost run me crazy.
 "In this condition l went to the hos DlLdl, ana aIteT Il lOnR rest was Ddl t- ly able to get back home. One day one of my neighbors called and begged me to try Tanlac l felt my life was slowly ebbing away and as every kind of medi- cine l took failed to do me any good, l was getting worse again. I had them send to DeMoville's for a bottle and l begun taking it.
 "I came down on the car this after noon to get my third bottle. and l want In tall I thOlIQht madi- cine could bring me back to the health of my girlhood days, but Tanlac did, and Oh, l am so grateful. Why sir, l have gained 10 pounds in weight and feel just so good that l hardly know myself
 Yesterday one of my neighbors called and she didn't recognize me at first so great was the change in my condition she said.
 fI am up going around now and able to look after many of the household du- ties 1 have no aches or pains, my color is much better, I can eat anything l want in the way of solid foods or vege- tables, and Oh my, everything tastes so good. Those nervous spells have left me. I sleep like a baby and get up of mornings feeling rested and refreshed. The noise of the street cars does not bother me. and 1 just feel like l have taken a new lease on life.
 "I want every woman who reads what l have told you and is suffering as I was to come see me, that l may tell them personally that every word of this is true. I would just like for them also to ask some of my neighbors re- garding the condition 1 was in before l took Tanlac, and they will tell them just what 1 have told you. l am so grateful to MT. Cooper for his won derful new medicine that I would like L fzl& &l,.. .Ir for my return to health, for l tell you I was on the brink of despair and was almost a physical and nervous wreck but thanks to Tanlac, I am a new wom- an now with new hopes and new lift and energy"
