What is probably the most remark
able Endorsement ever given propri-
etary medicine was the statement
made recently by H. J, Williams, 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:
Il am 81 years of age, and am the
father Of sixteen children, eight liv-
ing and eight dead | came to Bir-
mingham from East Tennessee, and
have followed mining for good
many years.
about two years ago took sick.
The doctors at first thought | had
Tapeworm, then Hookworm, ard fin
ally decided it was Pellagra. | took
treatment from a well-known Ala
hama Pellagra 'Cpe', but got no len
left. The doctors finally told me they
couldn't do me any good, ard ! quit
going to see them.
81 suffered from q sort OF numb
feeling all the time in my back, and
was dizzy-headed. | 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.
Il lost all Of my strength and fell
off as pouads in weight. used to
weigh, when | was well. 1873 pounds,
and got to where only weighed 80
pounds, and was almost walking
skeleton.
Il finally decided that there was
no hope for me in this life, and gave
my ring to my wife and told her to
put the children in the Odd Fellows
Home when died. This is just the
shape / was in when, one day my lit
tie daughter said: Papa. why don't
you try that new medicine everybody
is talking about? 1t has helped SO
many people, it might help YOU OF
course | had no faith in anything, but
just to please the family, made one
more trial and got this 1anlac May
the good Lord bless the day got
this medicine, for it was my saliva
ton.
Il got relief from the first bottle,
and began to eat and pick up right
from the very start. | am now on
my fifth bottle, and have actually
gained back 20 pounds, and now
weigh lis. 1t just looked like the
more ! took the better | got, and |
kept on picking up every day.
Il went over to the mines yester-
day and made arrangements to go
back to work. | am strong enough
to walk around wherever |, want to
20, something | have not been able to
do for over year, and that is fact.
Tanlac mighty nigh raised me from
the dead, that's what it has done for
me. II you don't believe what have
told you, just ask any Of the men
around mine No. 8, and they will all
tell you the fix | was in, and how
much better off am now.
Thank God | will soon be able to
earn living for my family, and | will
owe it all to this medicine Tanlac, T
have just written to a daughter of
mine in LaFollette, Tenn, who needs
a medicine like this, and | want her
to take it and get well.
81 don't believe now | ever had
Pellagra. because | never did have
any breaking out of any kind. | don't
believe | had any Hookworm. either,
but whatever it was, this Tanlac has
certainly fixed me. don't reckon
there ever was medicine on earth
like Tanlac. Twill always bless the
day | bought this medicine
