"Tanlac Saved Me From the Hospital and I'm a We'll
 Woman" She Says

'Tanlac has not only kept me out of the hospital but it has put me back on my feet a well woman, and I am now able to do all my work, even to my gar dening," said Mrs. Mary Smith, who lives at 256 Nineteenth street, in conversation with the Tanlac representative few days ago. Mrs. Smith husband is en- gineer for the steel plant of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company at Ensley. They have been residents Of Fnsley for the past 10 years, and are known by nearly everybody in the city.
 For seven long years my health was very bad" continued Mrs. Smith, My appetite was very poor and 1 seldom felt like eating anything at all: in fact, 1t was almost useless for me to try to eat, for my stomach was in such dread ful shape that every time l would eat l would feel bloated up and have such awful pains that a stomach pump would have to be used before I could get any relief from my distress. I had kidney trouble very bad, too, which gave me a great deal of worry, and this, with the gas on my stomach cutting off my breath and extreme nervousness, kept me from getting any sleep or rest hardly. l was so nervous at times that I would just go all to pieces, and I would have smothering spells, and have to sit up ln a chair at night and felt like l would smother to death. I was being treated and taking medicine all the time. but l just kept on losing weight and getting weaker until I just couldn't go any longer and had to go to bed and was told that l would have to go to the hos pital. l had lost all hope of getting any thing to help me, and I thought to the hospital I would have to go.
 But I've found the right medicine at last, and I'll always feel grateful to my friends and neighbors who persuaded me to give Tanlac a trial. It is wonderful how this medicine helped me almost from the start, for after taking only three bottles of it I feel like a new woman. I have not had single smoth- ering spell since using Tanac, and my kidneys have stopped giving me any trouble at all. It has relieved me of the stomach trouble and given me back my appetite and I can eat plenty of anything I want without any pain or gas or bad feelings afterwards. My nerves have quieted down and in place of hay ing to sit up in chair and almost smother at night as I did, can now lay down and sleep like a child and get up in the mornings feeling fine. I have gained several pounds in weight and I'm feeling strong and well in every way, and I'm now doing all my housework, there? l do all the planting and work ing of it, too as my husband doesn't have time on account of his own work, but I enjoy it and that's pretty good proof of how well I feel. Yes, sir three bottles of Tanlac actually took me out of a sick bed and kept me out of the hospital, and I feel so thankful for it that l just want to tell everybody about it."
