THEY ALL THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE DEAD
 LONG BEFORE THIS
Mrs. Furgason Set Her Sew ing Machine Aside Be- cause She Couldn't
 Use It

1T set my sewing machine aside three years ago because 1 couldn't use it. l was so bad off I was more dead than alive, and I have no doubt I would be in my grave today if it hadn't been for Tanlac, said Mrs. J. D. Furgason, residing at 2O21 Ninth avenue, north, Nashville, Tenn.' in her statement to the Tanlac repre- sentative a few days ago.
 For 15 years or more," continued Mrs. Furgason T suffered with stomach and bowel trouble. We paid out thousands of dollars for treatment and medicine, but l kept getting worse all the time Finally my condition became so bad gave up entirely, and my family and neighbors thought I would be dead before this. But here I am, not only living but since talk ing three bottles of Tanlac l have gained 10 pounds in weight and am actually doing all my housework and it's the first time in 20 years I have not had to hire some of my work done.
 q was kept on sweet milk and nothing else most of the time, and could eat no solid food scarcely at all. Everything l would eat seemed to go to gas and made my heart flutter and gave me smotherlnS spells and I would have to gasp for breath. The most weakening Of all my troubles was the bad condition of my bowels, but my whole stomach and bowels were sore like boil and so sensitive I could hardly bear the least pressure on them, and was told I had ulcers of the stomach And with all this my kidneys and bladder gave me no end or trouole' and were just as sore as my stomach.
 q would have to get up every few min utes during the night, and had such con- stant pain in my back I would lay with my hand under my back trying to get relief but no position I could take gave me any ease.
 aThree or four years ago my condition got so bad I had to spend a large part Of my time in bed. Just up little while at a tirne trying to do some necessary WorK, and then down again almost exhausted from the little exertion-and it was by force of will power and energy that got up at all. I could not bear any noise, not even a loud voice. my nerves were in such a torn-up condition. l had tried everything and nothing did me any good, and I had almost lost hope of getting anything to help me; for mine seemed to be hopeless case.
 ..Sometime about last May I read some of the testimonials about how Tanlac was helping other people here in Nash vile and while I didn't have much faith in it to help me. I decided to try IL any way, and to my surprise and gratir1catlon I began to feel better in just few days, and the first three bottles built me m from 94 pounds to 104 My bowels got in a normal condition, my back around my kidneys stopped hurting me, and that awful soreness in my stomach, bowels and bladder disappeared. I kept on talk ing the medicine and improving until l took six bottles, and my heart has stopped fluttering, and I have no more smothering spells My appetite is fine now, ana my digestion is good, and I can eat anything I want. and many things could not eat before in 15 or 20 years. I am now well woman. and strong enough to do all my housework, and I'm so grateful for what Tanlac has done for me I shall bless 1t and it's maker as long as I live"
