SAYS TANLAC
HAS SAVED HIN
FATHER OF fG THOUGHT END
NEAR. TOLD WIFE WHAT TO
DO WITH CHILDREN.

What is probably the most remark
able Endorsement ever given pro
prietary medicine was the statement
made recently by H. j. Williams, a
coal miner at the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Co., mine No. s, near Fairfield,
Ala, in the Birmingham district.
The story of his wonderful restora-
ton 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 eight 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 l had
tapeworm, then hookworm, and final
ly decided it was pellagra. l took
treatment from a we'll known Ala
bama Pellagra Cure, but got no ben
eft. The doctors finally told me they
couldn't do me any good, and | quit
going to see them.
81 suffered from a sort of numb
feeling all the time in my back, and
was diZZy-haaded. | 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, l was slowly starving to
death.
II lost all of my strength, and fell
off As pounds in weight. | used to
weigh, when | was we'll 1873 pounds,
and got down to where | weighed
only 90 pounds, and was almost a
walking skeleton.
q 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 Eel
lows Home when l died.
This is just the shape l 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-
pile it might help you Of course
had no faith in anything, but just to
|
trial and got this Tanlac. May the
good Lord bless the day l got this
medicine, for it was my salvation.
Il got relief from the first bottle,
and | began to eat and pick up right
from the start. | am now on my NTH
bottle, and have actually gained back
% pounds, and now weigh 115. 1t
| lust looked like the more | took the
better l got, and / keep on picking 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 I have not been able to do
for over a year, and that is a TACT.
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, I will soon be able to
earn a living for my family, and l
will owe it all to this medicine Tan
lac. | have Just written to a daugh-
! ter Oh UlIU6 III Id OIICtIC; Ci'A'''
needs a medicine like this, and | want
| her to take it and get well.
Il don't believe now | ever mad
pellagra, because l never had any
breaking out of any kind. | don t
believe l had hoOkworm, either, but
whatever it was this Tanlac has GER
tainIy fixed me. l don't reckon there
ever was a medicine on earth ike
Tanlac. I will always bless the day
| bought this medicine
