. This time it is Rev. J. A. Wells,
: member of the Mississippi confer

dist church at Oak Ridge, nea.
Vicksburg, Miss. Previous to hi:
%pastorate at this place, Rev. Wells
was pastor Of the Seventh Ave,

Miss.
A few days ago Rev. Wells
while in King & Co.'S store al
Vicksburg, made the following
statement to the Tanlac repre-.
sentative:
i am so grateful for the i'm
provement in my wife's health,
brought about by TanIac, that
do not feel that it would be doing
my duty if didn't tell the public
what Mr.. Cooper's wonderful new
medicine has done for her.
She was in a general run
down condition for three years
and became very emaciated and
weak. She was nervous all the
time and never slept well at night.
Her appetite was poor and what
she did eat caused pain and dis
comfort afterward. She lost
strength and energy and fell off
from ll9 pounds until she only
weighed 96 pounds. She was
constipated most of the time and
had severe backaches and head
aches. Her health was so run
down that she had to spend about
half Of her time in bed. She was
under the treatment Of several
doctors, but could get no relief to
speak of. In fact, | was told by
the doctors thai there was little
hope for her recovery and, Of
course, her condition became the
source Of much anxiety to me, |
thought once a trip to one of the
health resorts would benefit her,
but knew that she was not
strong enough for a sojourn
there, so gave up the idea.
II was in Meridian two months
ago when Tanlac was recommend
ed to me. Both Mrs. Wells and
myself were always skeptical
about proprietary medicines, and
then too, realizing that the many
medicines prescribed for her by
doctors had failed to bring about
any marked improvement, we
didn't think there was much
chance Of anything helping her.
However, ! finally bought her a
bottle and she began taking it.
We'll, sir, she is now on her
seventh bottle Of Tanlac and she
is like a different woman, both in
feelings and in looks. Her friends
all say that she looks better than
she has in months. Her appetite
has picked up wonderfully and
she can eat most anything she
wants without any bad after ef-
fects. She is much stronger than
she was and has gained at least
five pounds. She is active and is
now able to assist with the house.
work. She doesn't complain like
she used 10; is not nervous and
sleeps splendidly, She isn't sub
ject to constipation like she was,
and the pains in her back and the
headaches have about disap-
peared. She is as bright and as
cheerful as she can be, and is
greatly improved in every way.
we are both, indeed, gratified
over her remarkable improve
ment, and unhesitatingly recon-
mend Tanlac to anyone who has
like she had"
Commenting on Rev. Wells
statement, Mr.. G. F.. Willis, south
ern distributor of Tanlae said:
This is, indeed, a very remark
able case, and ! distinctly recall
a number Of other members Of
this high calling who have pub
licly expressed their indebtedness
to this medicine and who felt it
their duty to tell suffering human
of the great benefits they had
derived from its use. Among
them are: Rev. A. H. Sykes, pas
