FATHER OF sixteen
SAYS TANLAC SAVED
HIM FROM CRAVE
THOUGHT END WAS NEAR AND
TOLD WIFE TO PUT CHILDREN
IN ODD FELLOWS HOME WHEN
HE DIED.

What is probably the most re-
markable endorsement ever given a
proprietary medicine was the state
ment made recently by H. ]. Will
liams, a coal miner at the Tennessee
Coal & Iron Co., Mine No. s, near
Fairfield, Ala, in the Birmingham
district.
The story of his wonderful restora-
ton to health was told in his own
words, and is profoundly interesting.
His statement follows:
II am 81 years of age, and am the
father of sixteen children, eight liv-
ing and eight dead. came to BirTn-
ingham from East Tennessee and
have followed mining for a good many
years.
"About two years ago l took sick.
The doctors at first thought l had
tapeworm, then hool1wor1n, and final
ly decided it was pellagra. took
| treatment from a well-lnown Ala
bana Pellagra Cure but got no ben
eft. The doctors finally told me
they couldn't do me any good, and I
quit going to see them.
81 suffered from a sort of numb
feeling all the time in my back, and
was dizzy-headed. l couldn't stoop
over or stand on my feet for any
length of time and couldn't hardly
eat anything and nothing tasted good
In fact, was slowly starving to
death.
81 lost all Of my strength, and fell
off 45 pounds in weight. I used to
weigh, when / was we'll, 1873 pounds
and got down to where I only weigh
ed 80 pounds, and was almost walk
ing skeleton.
81 finally decided that there was
no more hope for me in this life, and
l gave my ring to my wife and told
her to put the children in the Ode
Fellows Home when ] died.
"This is just the shape I was II
when, one day, my little daughter
said: Papa, why don't you try tina
new medicine everybody is taIkinr
about? It has helped so many people
it might help YOU Of course, ha,
|. no faith in anything, but just L
Il please the family made one NOR
trial and got this Tanlac. May tn
good Lord bless the day I got thu
medicine, for it was my salvation.
81 got relief from the first bottl
and ! began to eat and pick up RICH
from the start. / am now on m,
fifth bottle and have actually game
back Is pounds, and now weigh 11E
1t just looked like the more / too
the better got, and l keep on pick
ing up every day.
'T went over to the mines yester
day and made arrangements to g
back to work. / am strong enough t
walk around wherever / want to &c
something have not been able to d

Tanlac mighty nigh raised me fror
the dead, that's what it done fo
! me. If you don't believe what hav
