THIS MAN SAYS he
FURTEO WITH GRAVE
FELL OFF UNTIL HE ONLY
WEIGHED SEVENTY POUNDS.
TAKES TANLAC AND GAINS
TWENTY-ONE POUNDS.

'Ill tell you the truth If l knew
this Tanlac was not going to be sold
any more | would buy every bottle on
that counter over there before | left
here tonight" said w. A. Splitter, at
Patton-Pope's Drug Store, Birming
ham recently. Mr. Splitter is a well
known painter, employed by the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway
Company, and resides at $40 South
Sixty-eighth street, Birmingham
Before | began taking it | only
weighed 1876 pounds. Today l got
on the scales and tipped them at 156
"a gain of 81 pounds-and more
than | ever weighed in my life.
That's eractly what four bottles of
Tanlac did for me, Just look at this
belt, | had to let it up four inches
and it is still tight on me.
About seven years ago | commen-
ced having stomach trouble, and it
kept getting worse until began hav-
ing attacks of acute Indigestion
When these attacks came on me |
would just swell up like 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 tC 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
l was out of pain night or day for
four long years, and | actually cot
so weak | could hardly stand on my
fect-much less work | was fading
away fast and got down to where |
only weighed 70 pounds. | was al
most walking skeleton, and 1 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. | guess | was as near dead as
any man you ever saw to be alive.
But. look at me now; | am strong
and as well now as ever was in my
life, and can do as big a 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
$4,000 in the past six or seven years
for doctors bills and medicines, and
have bought enough medicine from
drug stores in Birmingham to own
an interest in one of them, and | was
lucky rot to have an undertakers
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 lot to do
with my condition Anyway, there
seemed to be nothing that would
straighten me out, Every time | heard
of new medicine | would get it. /
read of Tanlac cne 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 l eat SO
much l get ashamed of myself. My
landlady said the other day she
would have to raise my board.
told her, though, she must remem-
Der that for four years she made
money off of me, and that | was
only making up for lost time. Why
seven or eight biscuits at a meal
don't satisfy me now, but just cult
at that for fear will over ) mat
ters, 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 a
pain about me now"
