out of the army bill a provision to permit

that the failure of a guardsman to register
before he left for the border would not nee

MRS.PEDDEN'S CASE
NE|GHBORHOODTALK
HUNTSVILLE, ALA, WOMAN
GAINS 27 POUNDS ON THREE
BOTTLES OF TANLAC.

"I have just finished my third bot
tie of Tanlac and have gained twenty
seven pounds, was the truly re-
markable statement made by Mrs.
Chas. Pedden, who resides at $50
Mill Street, Huntsville, Ala. Mrs.
Pedden is one of the best known and
highly respected women of that thriv-
ing little city, where she has made
her home for a number of years.
"When I commenced taking Tan
lac," she continued, "I only weighed
ninety eight pounds; now I weigh
one hundred and twenty-five pounds,
and never felt better in my life. For
years I have suffered with bad form
Of stomach trouble, constipation and
pains in my side and back. At times
the pains took the form of torture
and I was twice examined and each
time I was told that I had appended
tbs and that an operation would be
my only hope. l had fallen off until
I only weighed ninety-eight pounds
and was so weak i could hardly get
around.
81 had no appetite at all scarcely,
and what little I did eat would
cause gas to form in my stomach,
which gave me palpitation of the
heart, sick headaches and a dizzy
feeling about the head. When these
spells came on me I would get aw-
fully nervous. worried about my
self until I could rest and sleep but
little.
81 had fallen off until was almost
skin and bone,' and my strength
and energy were slowly leaving me:
I had dread of the future and could
see nothing but the operating table
and the knife. I had perfect hor-
ror of an operation, but had made up
my mind that it was either life or
death and prepared to submit to it.
I had made all preparations for the
operation and called on my sister to
tell her good bye and I did not know
whether / would live to see her again
or not. My sister begged and plead
ed with me not to allow them to cut
on me and told me to wait and try
good tonic for while. The next
day as / returned from the consulta-
ton room I thought of what she
said, and, as had heard so much
about Tanlac I decided to try it as
last resort, and stopped at Gil
bert's Drug Store and got a bottle:
Of course. I had lost heart and had
no faith in the medicine but to
please my sister / made up my mind
to take it, and, oh, what a happy
day that was for me!
"I never returned for the opera
