MRS. BRIDGES HAS
GAINED 81 POUNDS
BY TAKING TANLAC
"My Recovery Has Set the
Whole Neighborhood to
Talking" She Says

tits the honest truth, in less than
two months after I began taking Tan
lac I had gained IS pounds and my re-
covery has set the whole neighborhood
talking"
The above remarkable statement
was made a few days ago by Mrs.
Jettye Bridges, residing at 10S Seventh
street, North Birmingham. Mrs
Bridges is the wife of j. E. Bridges,
q well known furniture dealer of
Pratt City, and her statement adds
another link to the long chain of in
controvertible evidence that Tanlac is
a medicine of unusual merit, and that
as health restorer and system builder
1t has no equal.
For more than three years" continued
Mrs. Bridges, nothing would eat agreed
with me and 1 suffered with indigestion
all the time. I just suffered agony from
the gas on my stomach and shortness OF
breath and I ached all over and got SC
nervous I could hardly sleep at all. My
head felt like it would burst open, il
ached so bad, and often I got so weak
and dizzy l could hardly stand up. Moth
ing I took did me any good and finally
/ got so weak I wasn't able to do any
of my work and felt perfectly miserable
all the time. Thinking a change might
do me good, I went on a visit to my
father and stayed there three weeks, but
] kept getting worse instead of better
My back hurt me like a bad toothache
and my kidneys worried me nearly all
the time and I just can't describe how
wretched I did feel. I fell off to 12s
pounds and at last got so weak and sicl
had to give up and go to bed ane
thought could never get well.
Then I started on Tanlac, and, oh
what change it made in my feelings ir
Just few days. After taking six bot
ties ! got on the scales and weighed 16'
pounds--a positive gain of 80 pounds
and if anybody ever felt like a new per
son / did. My friends and neighbors ar;
all talking about me looking so we'll, ano
I felt even better than l looked, be
cause all the headaches and shortness o.
breath have left me. My appetite is splen
did now and my food all agrees with ms
and makes me feel strong. I don't have
any more weak, fainty spells and my bach
and kidneys have stopped bothering me
My nerves are perfectly quiet and 1 sleer
so well 1 almost hate to get up in the
mornings. I couldn't ask to feel better
than / do now and I owe my recovery
to Tanlac. In fact, believe 1t has savet
my life and I just can't praise it enough
for what it has done for me-"
