BUT OScE HER FOLKS SEEMED

81 had gotten in such bad health
that did not take any interest in
anything before I took Tanlac, and
1 often told my folks..that if I should
see money on the floor / would not
stoop to pick it up" said Mrs. T.
M. Wooten, of l53 Morgan Ave-,
Greenville, as she began to tell how
Tanlac had changed her condition
from that of almost an invalid to
healthy, strong, happy woman. Mrs.
Wooten's statement follows:
81 suffered from complete phys
ical breakdown and the after effects
of long drawn out spell of mala-
ria. / was very weak-so weak
that 1 was in bed at least half of
every day, and I did not try to do
any, of my housework for rather
a long time. My appetite had left
me and it seemed that l didn't want
anything to eat and 1 couldn't find
much to tempt my appetite. l
could not sit up long at time, and
I had absolutely lost all interest," in
everything.
II had been in very bad health
for two or more years and I sure
was a sick person, too. I had be-
gun to wonder if / ever would get

could tell by the way my folks talk

Then somebody told me to try
Tanlac, and I began taking it I took
six bottles and I have gained at
least twenty pounds in weight, /

gan taking Tanlac, but am heavy
enough now and ] feel like a new

''Tanlac did me a great deal
more good than all the other medi-
cines I took put together, and I
certainly did take lot of medicine
before ! took Tanlac. The Tanlac
gave me a good appetite almost
from the start and soon / began to
improve right along in health and
strength, and now l am able to do
my housework and my ironing and
1 am strong and hearty. L give
Tanlac all the credit for getting me
out of bed and on my feet again,
and no one can fully understand
how much Tanlac did for me un-
less they had seen me before I took
it, and / had been almost an invalid
for two years before took Tanlac
and then I only had to take six
bottles to get my strength back.
Il certainly can give Tanlac the
highest praise, because it changed
me from an almost bed-ridden in
