aOiG.
Il have just finished my third bot
tie of Tanlac and have gained twen-
ty-seven pounds" was the truly re-
markable statement made by Mrs.
Charles Peden, residing at $50 Mill
street, Huntsville, Aal. Mrs. Peden
is one of the best-known and most
highly respected women of that thriv-
ing little city, where she has made
her home for a number of years.
when | commenced taking the
medicine" she continued, Il only
weighed ninety eight (9S) pounds
now | weigh 1875 pounds, and never
felt better in my life. For years l
have suffered with a bad form of
stomach trouble, constipation and
pains in my back and side. At times
the pains took the form of torture
and | was twice examined and each
time / was told that had appendicitis
and that an operation would be my
only hope. l had fallen off until 1
only weighed ninety-eight pounds and
was so weak / could hardly get
around.
Il had no appetite at all scarcely,
and what little | did eat would
gas to form in my stomach, which
gave me palpitation of the heart, sick
headaches and a dizzy feeling about
the head. When these spells came
on me | would get awfully nervous.
l worried about myself until l could
rest and sleep but little.
Il had fallen off until l was al
most skin and bones and my
strength and energy were slowly
leaving me. | had a dread of the
future and could see nothing but the
operating table and knife. l had a
perfect horror of an operation, but
had made up my mind that it was
either life or death. and prepared to
submit to it. | had made all prepare
iions for the operation and called
on my sister to tell her good bye. as
! did not know whether | would live
to see her again or not. Ny sister
begged and plead with me not to
allow them to cut on me and told me
to wait and try a good tonic for a
while. The next day as | returned
from the consultation room l thought
of what she said, and as | had heard
so much about Tanlac | decided to
try it as a last resort and stopped at
Gilbert's Drug Store and got a bottle.
Of curse, | had lost heart and had
no faith in the medicine, but to please |
my sister | made up my mind to take
it, and, oh what a happy day that
was for me!
Il never returned for the opera
ton, but just kept taking the Tanlac.
Right from the start | began to feel
better. The medicine seemed to take |
hold right at once. 1t had a sooth-
ing effect, and in a few days | felt
no pain at all. l was so happy over
the wonderful improvement in my
condition that | sent for my neigh
bors to tell them how much better /
felt. | sent and got another bottle
of Tanlac, and have just finished TAX
ing my third bottle and feel like l
have been made all over again into
a new woman.
".As | have said before, Inow weigh
125 pounds, and my improvement has
been so rapid that none of my clothes
are big enough for me. | will have
to make them all over again. | now
have a ravenous appetite and my hus-
band says l an simply eating him
out of house and home. | have even
gone back on my coffee, which l was
told not to touch. Those terrible
pains in my back and head have all
disappeared and | sleep like a child.
i am NJ longer nervous, and when /
get up mornings | feel refreshed,
cheerful and bright. | am now able
to attend to my household duties,
and | feel as if | had started life all
:, over again. My husband is highly
delighted, and my recovery is the talk
of the neighborhood. | do nothing
but rejoice all day long over the re-
covery of my health and praise Tan
lac to everybody.
Il feel so grateful for my escape
from the operating table and the
knife that you may publish what l
have said; you may, if you wish, tell
other women suffering as | was, to
come and see me and | will be glad
to tell them all about my case"
Tanlac is sold in Grenada by the
