MRS. CHAS. PEDDEN,
Of HUNTSVILLE,
GAINS q POUNDS
Twice Examined and Each Time Was
Told Operation Would Be Only
Hope.

Il have just finished my third bot
tie OF 1anlac and have gained twenty
seven pounds was the truly remark
able statement made by Mrs. Charles
Peden, residing at $50 Mill street,
Huntsville, Ala. Mrs. Peden is one of
the best-known and highly respected
women of that thriving little city,
where she has made her home for a
number Of years.
| when l commenced taking the
medicine" she continued, 81 only
weighed ninetyeight (98) pounds;
now l weigh 125 pounds, and never
felt better in my life. For years | 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 l was twice
examined and each time l was told
that l had appendicitis and that an
operation would be myonly hope. had
fallen off until only weighed ninety
eight pounds and was so weak I could
hardly get around
II had no appetite at all scarcely,
and what little / did eat would cause
gas to form in my stomach, which
gave me palpitation Of the heart, sick
headaches and dizzy feeling about
| the head. When these spells came on
me | would get awfully nervous. |
| worried about myself until | could
rest and sleep but little.
~ had fallen off until was almost
skin and bones and my strength and
energy were slowly leaving me. l had
a dread of the future and could see
nothing but the operating table and
knife. 7 had a perfect horror for 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-by,
as did not know whether / would live
to see, her again or not. My sister
begged and pleaded with me not to al
low them to cut on me and told me to
wait and try good tonic for while
The next day as | returned from the
consultation room l thought of what
she said, and as had heard so much
about Tanlac l decided to try it as a
last resort and stopped at Gilbert's
Drug Store and got bottle. Of
course, | 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-!
~ never returned for the operation,
put just kept taking the Tanlac. Right
from the start l began to feel better.
The medicine seemed to take hold |
right at once. 1t had a soothing eff
feet, and in a few days l felt no pain
at all; was SO happy over the won
derful improvement in my condition
that | sent for my neighbors to tell
them how much better l felt. I sent
and rot another bottle of Tanac, and
have just finished taking my third
bottle and feel like l have been made
all over again into a new woman.
"As l have said before, now weigh
125 pounds, and my improvement has
been so rapid that none of my clothes
are big enough for me. l will have to
make them all over again. I now have
ravenous appetite and my husband
says am simply eating him out of
house and home. l have even gone
back to my coffee, which l was told
not to touch. Those terrible pains
n my back and head have all disap-
oeared and l sleep like child. l am
10 longer nervous, and when / get up
mornings feel refreshed, cheerful
and bright am now able to attend
% my household duties, and l feel as
f had started life all over again. My
husband is highly delighted, and my
'ecovery is the talk of the neighbor-
hood. l do nothing but rejoice all day
ong over the recovery of my health
md praise Tanlac to everybody.
IL feel so grateful for my escape
rom the operating table and the knife
hat you may publish what | have
aid; you may, if you wish, tell other
women suffering as l was, to come
md see me and will be glad to tell
hem all about my case" Tanlac is
