Pounds

Mrs. o. C. Cason, who lives some
distance out of Atlanta, near Ac-
worth. While making the purchase,
Mr.. Battle told of the wonderful i'm
provement in Mrs. Cason's condition
since she began using the medicine
about six weeks ago.
He also made the statement that
Mrs Cason felt so grateful for the
wonderful benefit she had received
that she wanted to make a public
statement, as she felt it her duty
TO tell he whole world abou Tan
lac. He then suggested that DR..
Elder, the Tanlac representative at
Jacobs, call at his residence for a
personal interview.
When DR.. Elder called at Mr.. Bat
ties residence on English avenue,
the following morning, it happened
that Mr.. Battle himself met him at
the door and very cordially invited
him into his living room Mrs.
Cason, who was bright and happy,
soon made her appearance and be-
gan with delight to tell of the Won
/ derful recovery of her health, and
her statement will go down in his
tory as being one of the most re-
markable ever given a proprietary
medicine. Here is her story in her
own words:

home on our farm near Acworth,
Ca, to come to my sisters home
here in Atlanta, and left with only
a shadow of hope of ever returning

'My brother-in-law, Mr.. Battle,

thing else with no relief now ! want

willing to try it, for the medicine is
the talk of the whole country, Well,

time. "Tanlac has simply robbed the
