81 have gained fifteen pounds and
feel stronger and better ethan I have
felt in twenty years." was the re-
markable statement made by Mrs.
NJ. I. Mcdders, who lives at SAL Blythe
avenue, Memphis, Tenn.
Mrs. Medders, who is now seventy
tive years of age, reared nineteen chill
dren, eight Of her own and eleven or
phans, and her whole life has Been
one of great sacrifice and usefulness.
At the beginning of the Civil War she
volunteered as a nurse and many old
soldiers who are living today will re-
member the kindeservices rendered by
her during those four years of
struggle.
She married soon after the war and
made her home in Senatobia;'' Miss,
where she lived for fifty years until.
the death of her husband, when she.
came to Memphis. Mrs. Medders' hus-
band was in the drug and jewelry
business in Senatobia for a great
many years and she is we'll known
in three counties around Senatobia,
as we'll as in Memphis, for her work
Of charity and motherly kindness.
For twenty years." continued Mrs.
Medders, 81 suffered with a swimming
in my head and often had spells some
thing like vertigo. Two years ago I
began suffering with pleurisy in both
sides, and was down in bed from May
of last year until February OF this
year, not able to do anything t all
until TanlaC got me up. I couldn't
even ride on a street car for at least
eighteen months until Tanlac relieved

Il had no appetite at all and lived
mostly on buttermilk for months and
months. I couldn't get any sound sleep
and you'd Just doze and wake up often
during the night, and, of course, | got
very weak. For six months my sides
were a solid blister where l used lini-
ments and plasters trying to get re
lief from the awful pains caused by
the pleurisy. My case was a very stub
horn oneoand seemed to yield very lit
tie to the treatment l was using.
81 think it was in February that
Tanlac began to be advertised in the
. papers, end although l had about Civ
and would Just dOze and wake up Ofto1
to where 7 was able to do anything, I
! began to try it. I was willing to try
/ anything to get q little relief and We
! able to sit up if nothing more. Blu I

. glad after usio~ Tanlac a few davs
to find it WAS helping me. After | ~ot

Of the cooking and I could do nearly
all of my hous~vOvk, too. Nv head
feels better Of that s2im,ninw an
clearer than it has in twenty years
For years l could not rais0 nv h7a]
and look up to turn off the electric
lights, nor could I climb up the stairs
but I can now While I realize a wo-
! man seventy-two years old can't be
made into a girl again. Tanlac has
certainly made a great chance in me
and I never expected to feel as well
. any more as I do now. My weight
used to be one hundred and twenty
| seven pounds, but l got down to a
hundred and twelve and I'm sure I've
/ gained al back had lost and maybe
more. I don't have the pleurisy and
/ lunlbago any more either and feel
! that I'm entirely free of it. My nerves
have gotten quiet and I sleep all
night long nearly every night with
out waking up at all. Tanlac is the
best medicine ! have ever taken in
all my life and I have taken lots of
them Medicine that will do as much
for old folks as Tanlac has for me
certainly ought to be good for any
body else and I hope my statement
will cause others to take Tanlac and
get relief as I did"
