I'm tell you the truth; if l
knew this Tanlac was not going
to be sold anymore | would buy
every bottle on that counter over
there before | left here tonight"

Before | began taking it | only
weighed l35 pounds. Today l got
on the scales and upped them at
l56-a gain of p pounds-and
more than | ever weighed in my
life. That's exactly what four
bottles Of Tanlac did for me. lust
look at this belt | had to let it up
four inches, and it is still tight on
me.
About seven years ago l com
menced having stomach trouble,
and it kept getting worse until |
began having attacks of acute in
digestion. | would just swell up
like a mule with the colo, and get
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 | don't believe |
was out of pain day or night for
four long years, and | actually got
SO weak | could hardly stand on
my feet-much less work. | was
fading away fast, and got down to
where | only weighed 20 pounds.
| was almost a 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 a lick of work. | guess | was
as near dead as any man you evef
saw to be alive. But, look at me
now; | am strong and as we'll as |
ever was in my life, and can do
as big days work as any man.
Yes, sir, if ever a mortal man
has been.through the rub | am the
man. | have paid out, | guess,
not less than $500 in the past
six or seven years for doctors
bills and medicines, and have
bought enough medicines from
drug stores in Birmingham to own
an interest in one OF them, and |
was lucky not to have had an un-
dertakr' bill to wind it all up.
Il have been a painter all my
life, and have had painters collie
several times, SO guess that had a
/
lot to do with my condition. Any
way there seemed to be nothing
that would straighten me out. Ev-
cry time | heard of new medicine
| would get it. | read of Tanlac
would get it. | read OF Tanlac
one day, and that's one time 4 hit
it right, That's what saved me.
Why, Tanlac just raised me right
out OF my grave. can now eat
anything, and actually | eat so
much | get ashamed of myself. My
landlady said the other day she
would have to raise my board. l
told her, though, she na1st remem-
Der that for four years She made
money off me, and that | was only
making up for lost time. Why,
seven or eight biscuits at meal
don't satisfy me now, but | just
quit at that for fear | will overdo
matters, but everything tastes so
good to me now And sleep! Why
| never would wake UP if they
didn't come in and shake me. |
haven't pain about me now"
