A short time ago Mr.. j. B. Battle
who is we'll known in Atlanta, CAM
into Jacobs Pharmacy to get a bottl'
of Tanlac for his sister-in-law, Mrs. O
C. Cason, who lives some distance ou'
of Atlanta, near Acworth. While max
ing the purchase, Mrs. Battle told o.
the wonderful improvement in Mrs
Cassn's condition since she began us
ing the medicine about six weeks ago
He also made the statement that
Mrs. Cason felt SO grateful for the
wonderful benefit she had received
that she wanted to make. a public
statement, as she felt it her duty to
tell the whole world about Tanlac. He
then suggested that DR.. Elder, the
Tanlac representative at Jacobs call
at his residence for a personal inter-
view.
When Dr.. Elder called at Mr.. Bat
ties residence on English avenue, the
following morning. 1t happened that
Mr.. Battle himself met him at the
door and very cordially invited him
into his living room. Mrs. Cason, who
was bright and happy, soon made her
appearance and began with delight
to tell of the wonderful recovery of
her health, and her statement will 60
down in history as being one of the
most remarkable ever given a proprie-
tary medicine. Here is her story in
her own words:
"About six weeks ago I left my
home on our farm neal Acworth, Ca,
to come to my sisters home here in
Atlanta, and I left with only a shad-
ow of hope of ever returning alive to
ny home and husband.
II left Acworth," she continued, "in
4 comfortable automobile, propped up
on pillows, coming through the coun-
try. l had almost as much medicine
as l had baggage-a big box full Of
all kinds of medicines that had been
prescribed for me. l reached here
very weak and exhausted and with
scarcely enough strength to walk to
the door. This trouble, from which
had suffered so long, had reduced me
to almost a shadow, as I only weighed
60 pounds.
my brother-in-law, Mr.. Battle, said
Well, you have tried everything else
with no relief, now l want you to lay
aside your drug shop" and take Tan
lac OF course l was willing to try
it, for the medicine is the talk of the
whole country. Well, he got it for me
and l started on my first bottle that
day.
"When / had taken about half of the
:irst bottle I began to feel stronger
and encouraged. l continued to take
it and it is nothing short Of marvel
GUS how I improved day by day. I
felt myself further and further from
the grave. My appetite returned and
my food seemed to nourish me and
agree with me. My skin and complex
ion began clearing up and l improved
in every way possible until l am now
a well woman, and when I say we'll,
mean absolutely what I say. I want
to tell the whole world that I thank
God and Tanlac.
II weigh IS pounds now and feal
as we'll as I ever felt in my life. am
going back to my husband and home
the little farm five miles from Ac-
worth tomorrow, and won't it be a JOY
full meeting, returning to my husband
and home absolutely well and happy
and won't I tell everybody about what
Tanlac has done for me?"
eyes, it's just like she says" chimed
in Mr.. Battle about this time. "Tan-
lac has simply robbed the grave, and
if you could have seen her when she
started on this medicine, you would
say the same thing.
II don't know at the time just what
her trouble was, but the doctors said
she had pellagra. She may have had
it, for all l know, but there is one
thing certain, she hasn't got it now, or
at least you wouldn't think so if you
could watch her eat. l told her, jok-
Ingly, the other day, that she was eat
ing me out of house and home. I don't
guess there ever was a case like hers
md there is one thing certain, you can
count on US telling everybody about
t, because l fully believe she owes
1er life to this medicine"
