Hooks, the well known Soutnell Railway engineer, and their many frlen1s will be glad to hear or her reliiai N'" restoration to health.
 Tn an interesting interview with Coi' sherman H. Stivers, the special Ianiac representative, who was on a Nlsit lo that city last week, Mrs. HOOKS ilaue the remarkable statement that sne nao received more benefit from four potlies of Tanlac than from medical treatment that had cost her husband szoVV' w~hicl ~ he had paid out in the past TWO yeaI' fin an effort to restore her health.
 "For about two years" said Mrs Hooks. q have been in very bad health, and have suffered from stomach trouple. extreme nervousness and bad form or rheumatism. For more than seven months I wcs confined to my bed ana was almost a nervous and physical wreck Nv digestion was so poor and l had to diet myself and rarely eat anything but soft boiled eggs and milk and things of that kind and even the hghtest or foods would nauseate me and lay heaVhy on my stomach.
 "Anv sudden noise would effect my nerves, and my husband had to qult set ting the alarm clock and the door 10 my room had to be kept closed so I could not baar the ringing of the telephone. I have had the rheumatism in my left hip and shoulders so bad I could hardly bear any, thing to touch me.
 "My condition became so bad my hus- band took me to Hot Springs, Ark, where I remained for month. had 10 use crutches all the time. The treatment there belred me for while, and l returned horne soon relapsed into my old con- dition, and then I was taken to a spe' cialist in Atlanta.
 q had fallen off from 12o pounds until I only weighed S9 pounds-just a shadoW of my former self.
 .aThe specialist prescribed a course ot treatment, but before using the medicine I decided to give Tanlac trial dio this because of what I had read Of MT. Cooper's new medicine, and because my husband had heard so many railroad men recommend it.
 ."That was the best resolution Of my life I am now on my fourth bottle, ano feel better than at any time since l be- came ill. I can now eat anything l want and my food agrees with me-beside' everything I eat tastes good, and l en joy my meals.
 T have set my crutches aside and ac tually feel so much better I told my husband a few days ago l believed would turn off the cook, but he insisted that I wait awhile.
 1T now weigh 1O5 pounds, which is 2 gain of IS pounds, and am improving right along every day. Before taking Tanlac I was so weak and frail l wa! greatly discouraged, and could not per suade myself to believe that I would ever be able to enjoy another well day But I don't feel that way now. I am no nervous like I was, and l can see ane feel a great improvement. I sleep bet ter and my strength Is returning rapidly
 Life which had been dark and blue for me now seems to have returned witf the pleasure and enjoyment of my young CT days and I give all the credit fol this change to Tanlac. feel so gratefu for my return to health that l wish vol to convey to MT. Cooper our sincere thanks. I will also be glad to have vol publish what I have told you in tn papers, as I may in this humble wa, be the means of inducing other sick wom en- suffering as I suffered so long, t find the way to health and happiness
