THIS MAN SAYS He
FLIRTED WITH THE
CRAVE FOURYEARS
FELL OFF UNTIL HE ONLY
WEIGHED SEVENTY POUNDS.
TAKES TANLAC AND GAINS
TWENTY-ONE POUNDS.

an tell you the truth: if / knew
this Tanlac was not going to be sold
any more I would buy every bottle on
that counter over there boforo / left
here tonight" said ". A. Splitter, at
Patton-Pope's Drug Store, Birming-
ham, recently. Mr.. Splitter is a we'll
known painter employed by the Ten
nessee Coal, Iron and RailTray COM
pany, and resides at go South Sixty
eighth street, Birmingham.
Before L began taking It I only
weighed 1876 pounds. Today I got on
the scales and tipped them at 156-
a gain of q pounds-and more than
I ever weighed in my life. That's ex-
actly what four bottles of Tanlac did
for me. Just look at this beltI I
had to let it up four inches, and it
is still tight on me.
about seven years ago I COM
menced having stomach trouble, and
it kept getting worse until began
having attacks of acute Indigestion.
When these attacks came on me /
would just swell up like a mule with
the collie, and got as limp as a rag.
My breath would get short, and my
pulse so weak was afraid my heart
would stop beating. The stomach
pump had to be used every time, as
this was the only thing that would
relieve me. Finally my kidneys went
back on me, and I don't believe was
out of pain night or day for four
long years, and l actually got so weak
/ could hardly stand on my feet
much less work. I was fading away
fast, and got down to where / only
weighed 70 pounds. / was almost
walking skeleton, and tell you was
flirting with my grave, and guess /
would have been in it if it hadn't been
for Tanlac. For four years / couldn't
hit lick of work. I guess I was as
near dead as any man you ever saw
to be alive. But, look at me now;
am strong and as we'll now as I ever
was in my life, and can do as big a
| days work as any man.
eyes, sir, if ever a mortal man has
been through the rub am the man.
I have paid out, guess, not less than
| $500 in the past six or seven years
for doctors bills and medicines, and
have bought enough medicine from
drug stores in Birmingham 70 own an
interest in one of them, and was
lucky not to have had an undertaker's
bin to wind it all up.
"I have been a painter all my life,
and have had painters colo several
times, so guess that had a lot to do
with my condition. Anyway, there
seemed to be nothing that would
straighten me out. Every time !
heard of a new medicine would get
it. I read of Tanlac one day, and
that's one time hit it right. That's
what saved me. Why, Tanlac just
raised me right out of my grave.
can now eat anything, and actually
I eat so much l get ashamed Of my
self. My landlady said the other day
she would have to raise my board.
told her, though, she must remember
that for four years she made money
off of me, and that / was only max
ing up for lost time. Why, seven or
eight biscuits at a meal don't satisfy
me now, but l just quit at that for
fear I will overdo matters, but every
thing tastes so good to me now! And
sleep! why, never would wake up
if they didn't come in and shake me,
I haven't pain about me now"
