SUFFERED FOR YEARS.
Was Twice Examined and Each Time
Was Told Operation Would be
Her Only Hope.

twenty seven pounds, twas the truly
remarkable statement made by Mrs
Chas Pedden, who resides at $50
Mill St, Huntsville, Ala. Mrs Pen
den is one of the best known and
highly respected women of that
thriving little city, where she has
made her home for number OF
years.
"When l commenced taking Tan
lac, "she continued, I weighed only
ninety eight pounds; now | weigh
one hundred and twenty-five pounds
and never felt better in my life.
For years I have suffered with a
bad form of stomach trouble, con-
stipation and pains in my side and
back. At times the pains took the
form of torture, and | was twice
examined and each time | was told
that I had appendicitis and that an
operation would be my only hope.
| | had fallen off until l only weighed
ninety-eight pounds and was so
weak could hardly get around.
Il 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 a dizzy feeling
about the head. When these spells
came on me l would get awfully
nervous. 1 worried about myself
till could rest and sleep but little.
Il had fallen off until 1 was al
most skin and bones and my
strength and energy were slowly
leaving me. l had dread of the
future and could see nothing hut
the operating table and the knife.
1 had a perfect horror of an opera
ton, but had made up my mind
that it was either life or death and
prepared to submit to it. | had
made all preparations for the opera
ton and called on my sister to tell
her good bye and l did not know
whether I would live to see her
again or not. My sister begged and
pleaded with me not to allow 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 | thought OF
what she said land las | had heard SO
much about Tanlac | decided to try
it as last resort and stopped at
Gilbert's drug store and got bot
tie. 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 happy day
that was for me!
Il never returned for the opera
ton but just kept taking Tanlac.
Right from the start / began feeling
better. The medicine seemed to take
hold right at once. 1t had Il soothing
effect and in few daysI felt no pain
at all. L was so happy over the won
derful improvement in my condi-
ton that l sent for my neighbors to
tell them how much better / felt.
sent and got another bottle of Tan
lac, and have just finished taking
my third bottle and feel like / have
been made all over again into a new
woman.
As l have said before, l now
weigh l25 pounds and my improve
ment has been so rapid that none
Of my clothes are big enough for me.
l will have to make them all over
again. ! now haye a ravenous ap-
petite and my husband says | am
simply eating him out of house and
home. / have even gone back to
my coffee, which | was told not to
touch. Those terrible pains in my
back and head have all disappeared
and | sleep like a child. | am no
longer nervous and when | get up
in the mornings | feel refreshed,
cheerful and bright. | am now
able to attend to my household du-
ties and l feel as if | had started
life all over again. My husband is
highly delighted and my recovery is
the talk of the neighborhood. do
nothing but rejoice all day long over
the recovery of my health and |
praise Tanlac to everybody.
Il feel SO grateful for my escape
from the operating table and the
knife that you may publish what |
have said; you may, if you wish,
tell other women suffering as | was
to come to me and l will be glad to
tell them all about my case"
