P. G.. Hooks spent $4,000

health gains Is pounds
on Tanlac.

Another wonderful endorsement for
Tanlac that will De read with interest
By thousands of frail, suffering women
throughout the south was given re-
Gently by Mrs. Elizabeth Hooks. of
Rome, Ga Mrs Hooks is the wife of
P. G. Hooks. a well-known Southern
railway engineer Mrs Hooks made
the remarkable statement that she had
received more benefit from four bot
ties Of Tanlac than from medical
treatment that had cost her husband
$1,000, which he had paid out in the
past tive years IN an effort 10 restore
her health.
For about two years. said Mrs
Hooks, 7 have been in very bad health
and have suffered from stomach trOu-
bic, extreme nervousness and a bad
form OF rheumatism For more than
seven months I was confined 10 my
bed and was almost a nervous and
physical wreck Ny digestion was so
poor, had TO diet myself and rarely
ate anything but soft boiled eggs and
milk and things of that kind and even
the Hghtest Of foods would nauseate
me and lay heavily on nv stomach
Any sudden noise would affect my
nerves, and my husband had to quit
setting the alarm clock and the door
TO my room had TO be kept closed so
could not hear the ringing Of the
telephone. I have had the rheumatism
in my left hip and shoulders so bad
could hardly bear anything TO touch
me.
NY condition became so bad. my
husband took ne TO Hot Springs,
Ark. where ! remained for a month
7 had to use clutches all the time. The
treatment there helped me for a while.
and 1 returned home I soon Telapsed
into my old condition. and then I was
taken to a specialist in Atlanta
I had fallen off from one hundred
and twenty pounds until only weighed
eishty-nine pounds-just q shadow OF
my former self.
The specialist prescribed a course
OF treatment, but before using the
medicine ! decided to give Tanlac a
trial I did this because of what I
had read Of Mr.. COoper's new medicine
and because my husband had heard so
many railroad men recommend it
That was the best resolution OF nv
life am now on my fourth bottle
and feel better than at any time since
/ became i'll. 7 can now eat ANYTHING
I want. and ny food agrees with me
besides, everything I eat tastes good
and I enjoy my meals.
1 have set my crutches aside and
actually feel so much better I told my
husband Few days ago I believed I
would turn off the cook, but he in
sisted that I wait a while
I now weigh one hundred and five
pounds, which is a gain Of sixteen
pounds, and am improving right along
every day Before taking Tanlac I
was so weak and frail I was greatly
discouraged and could not persuade
myself 10 believe that ] would ever be
able to enjoy another well dav. But
don't feel that wav now. 1 am not
nervous like : was and I can see and
feel q great Improvement I sleep bet
ter and my strength is returning
