GAINS 80 POUNDS AFTER
SUFFERING SIX YEARS
Mrs. Roberts, of Columbia,
Vainly Tried Many Ways
to Combat Ills.
OPERATION FAILED
After Taking Two Bottles of TanIac,
She Was Strong Enough to Box
With Her Son.

Prompted by a feeling of gratitude
that apparently was deep and sincere.
M. A. Roberts, of 731 Assembly ST.,
Columbia, one of this city's we'll
known plumbers, told story that will
necessarily make deep impression
upon many, for it is a story of human
suffering and of the means which
brought a feeling of contentment,
peace and "good will toward men,"
1t is another one of the remarkable
Tanlac stories, and, as mankind is heir
N suffering, Mr.. Roberts statement
almost assumes the Importance of Il
sermon. He said
81 shall be glad to tell you how Mrs.
Roberts at last regained her health
and strength, and | shall tell you why
she can now engage in boxing matches
with our 16-year-old son instead of
conducting herself as one broken in
health.
"For a number of years Mrs. Rob-
erts suffered acutely with kidney
troubles and chronic appendicitis, with
their accompanying ills. She was
generally run down in health, and was
forced to undergo an operation, which,
however, gave her little relief.
"She perhaps suffered equally as
much with liver troubles, and, during
an operation, surgeon removed sew
eral hundred small gall stones. He
gave me a bottle containing two hun
dred and thirty stones, which were
scraped from her liver During the
past five years her health has been
very unsatisfactory. l spent practi-
cally all earned paying the bills for
medical services for her.
| "She was so sore on her right siu.
that she could not even bear to touch
it. Because all our efforts to find re-
lief had failed, she became discour-
aged. We saw almost every day in
the papers a statement by someone
who had been greatly helped by Tan
lac, and she decided to give it a trial.
We certainly are thankful we did, and
we are also thankful we were privi-
legged to get it.
This is the reason: Mrs. Roberts
feels fine now, and from weight of
one hundred seventy pounds, when
she last weighed before taking Tanlac.
she has increased in weight to more
than two hundred pounds. She was
forced to Increase by four inches the
waists of all her clothes. have seen
,her on several occasions boxing with
y e}f1ve6 year-old son, and she says she
h kh nowaSke as much punching on
her right Atde as on the left, so COM
pletely was the soreness in that side
removed while she was taking Tanlac
Mrs. Roberts has taken Just two
bottles of Tanlac, and is now tawine
her third bottle. She did not want to
start the third bottle because she is
gaining weight so rapidly. She says
she does not need medicine now. Real
ly, her recovery has been more than
remarkable, and l am more than clad
to tell the public of the great benefit
it brought her We certainly are
strong boosters of Tanlac, for it has
done more for Mrs. Roberts than all
the other medicines. We have urged
quite number of our friends to take
lTanlac for their troubles"
