SAYS TANLAC SAVED
HIM FROM GRAVE
FATHER OF SIXTEEN THOUGHT
END NEAR-T0LD WIFE WHAT
TO DO WITH CHILDREN WHEN
HE DIED.

What is probably the most remark
able endorsement ever given prop
Tietary medicine was the statement
made recently by H. J Williams, a
coal miner at the Tennessee Coal K
Iron Co, mine No. s, near Fairfield,
Ala, in the Birmingham district.
The story of his wonderful restora-
tion to health was told in his own
words, and is profoundly interesting.
His statement follows
Il am "a years of age, and am the
father of sixteen children, eight liv-
ing and eighth dead. / came to Biz
mingham from East Tennessee, and
have followed mining for a good
many years.
About two years ago | took sick.
The doctors at first thought | had
Tapeworm then Hookworm, and fin
ally decided it was Pelagra, | took
treatment from a well known Ala
bama Pellagra Cure but got no
benefit. The doctors finally told me
they couldn't do me any good, and /
quit going to see them.
II suffered from a sort of numb
feeling all the time in my back ana
was dizzy headed. l couldn't stoop
over, or stand on my feet for any
length of time, and couldn't hardly
eat anything and nothing tasted
good. In fact, | was slowly starving
to death
Il lost all my strength and fell off
As pounds in weight | used to
weigh, when / was well, 1873 pounds,
and got down to where | only weigh
ed 80 pounds, and was almost a walk
ing skeleton.
Il finally decided that there was
no more hope for me in this life, and
gave my ring to my wife and told
her to put the children in the Odd
Fellows Home when / died.
This is just the shape | was in
when, one day, my little daughter
said: Papa, why don't you try that
new medicine everybody is talking
about? 1t has helped so many peo-
pie, it might help you OF course /
had no faith in anything, but just to
please the family, | made one more
trial and got this Tanlac. May the
good Lord bless the day | got this
medicine, for it was my salvation
II got relief from the first bottle,
and began to eat and pick up right
from the start. am now on my 9Th
bottle, and have actually gained
back % pounds, and now weigh rs.
II just looked like the more | took
the better | got, and | keep on pick
ing up every day.
Il went over to the mines yester-
day and made arrangements to go
back to work. | am strong enough
to walk around wherever | want to
go, something have not been able
fact. Tanlac mighty nigh raised
me from the dead, that's what it done
for me. If you don't believe what
| have told you, just ask any of the
men around mine No. s, and they
will tell you the fix | was in, and
how much better off am now.
Thank God | will soon be able to
earn living for my family, and /
will owe il all to this medicine,
Tanlac. l have just written to a
daughter of mine in LaFollette, Tenn.

| want her to take il and get we'll
Il don't believe now l ever had
Pellagra. because | never did have
any breaking out of any kind
don't believe had Hookworm. either
but whatever it was. this Tanlac has
certainly fixed me. | don't reckon
there ever was a medicine on earth
like Tanlac. | will always bless the
day bought this medicine"
