MRS. ]. d. MORRISON DECLARES
SHE is NOW WELL AND STRONG
AFTER LONG ILLNESS

The phone rang at Morris drug store
iii Ensley, Alabama, recently and when
Mr.. Allison, of the firm, answered this
is the message he received:
This is Mrs. J. d. Morrison at 14O3
Avenue F, Ensley, and l want you to
ask one of the Tanlac Company's men
to come to see me, for / want every
body to know what this medicine has
done for me-"
That same afternoon the local Tan
lac representative called to see Mrs.
Morrison at her home, when she made
the following remarkable statement
Three years ago l lost my health,
and have been sick ever since. l had
chronic stomach trouble of the worst
kind and just seemed to go into gen.
eral decline Nobody but people who
have had this awful trouble know how
have suffered.
Il tried doctors, tried medicine and
tried everything, but nothing seemed
to help me particle. l tried dieting
and lived on liquid foods, raw eggs and
things like that until almost starved,
but even that failed to relieve my
trouble.
II lost all the strength had and was
a nervous wreck. 1 never knew what
it was to get good nights sleep and
was nervous, feverish and restless
most all of the time. l also suffered
dreadfully from biliousness and consti-
patton and was never free from pain
night or day.
'The 26th of last March was taken
to the hospital and operated on for
what was supposed to be female trou-
be, and when l left the hospital was
nothing but a living skeleton and only
weighed sc pounds. That is the truth
and everybody who knows me will tell
you it is a fact. The operation didn't
90 me any good as far as restoring my
health was concerned If anything,
got worse and it just looked like was
going to die.
Finally I was told that my trouble
was tuberculosis of the bowels and
that 1 had better stay out in the fresh
air all could, as nothing else could be
done for me.
About that time 1 began hearing a
lot of talk about the new medicine,
Tanlac, and read a great deal in the
papers what different people had to
say about it. Something just seemed to
tell me it was what needed, although
the doctor didn't think so, but I told
him I was going to try it anyway, as
they had already said they could do
nothing more for me.
THE first bottle didn't do me much
good as far as l could tell, but that
didn't dishearten me, for I knew it
would take time in my case, so 1 got
the second bottle and began improving
right away.
After this l commneced eating and
my appetite increased every day. By
the time l had taken three bottles j
vas able to eat whatever I liked and
gained flesh and strength right alon.
MY nerves got settled and l got
Sc could sleep good at night, Why,
on the fourth bottle alone l gained 4
pounds, and the other day I actually
weighed 80 pounds. Yes, sir, l went
from 66 to 80 pounds-that's what Tan
lac did for me.
Il feel so much better and stronger
l am now doing eevry bit of my work
even do the washing and nothing
seems to hurt me. Honestly, this Tan.
lac beats anything / ever saw in my
life, and would not give one bottle
of it for all the other medicines in
Ensley and Birmingham put together.
81 have just returned from visit to
my old home near Alabama City, and it
is an honest fact that my own sisters
did not know me at first. All around
here my neighbors are wondering what
on earth 1 have found to put me on
my feet again, for they had given me
up to die months ago.
Newer as long as I live will I ever
