SAYS TANLAC SAVED HIM FROM THE CRAVE.
Father of Sixteen Thought End Near fold Wife What to Do With l
 Children When He [ Died.

What is probably the most re- markable indorsement ever given a proprietary medicine was the state ment made recently by HI. J. Will Hams, a coal miner at the Tennessee Coal & Iron Co, mine Mo-. 8, near Fairfield, Ala3aiin the Birmingham district. f
 The story of his wonderful re- storation to health was told in his own words, and is profoundly in- teresting. His statement follows:
 T am 5i years of age, and am the father of sixteen children, eight living and eight dead l came lo Birmingham from East Tennessee. and have followed mining for a good many years.
 About two years ago 1 took sick. The doctors at first thought had Tapeworm, then Hookworm, and finally decided it was pellagra. l took treatment from a we'll known Alabama Pellagra Cure but got no benefit. The doctors finally told me they couldn't do me any good, and I lHulb gong to see them.
 I suffered from a sort of numb feeling all the time in my back, and was dizzy headed. I couldn't stoop over, or stand on my feet for any length of time and couldn't hardly eat anything and nothing tasted good. l fact 1 was slowly starving to death.
 T lost all of my strength and fell lo1 45 pounds in weight. 1 used to weigh, when I was well, l33 pounds, and got down to where only weighed 90 pounds, and was almost a walking skeleton.
 T finally decided that there was no more hope for me in this life, and gave my ring to my wife and told her to put the children in the Odd Fellows Home when l died.
 This is just the shape 1 was in when, one day my little daughter said: Papa, why don't you try that new medicine everybody is talking about? 1t has helped so may peo- pie, it might help you Of course l had no faith in anything, but just to please the family, made one more trial and goL this Tanlac. May the good Lord bless the day got this medicine, for 1t was my salvation. T got relief from the first bottle, and | began to eat and pick up right from the start 1 am now on my fifth bottle, and have actually gained back p pounds, and now weigh ii5. It just looked like the more I took the better got, and 1 keep on pick ing up every day.
 T went over to the mines recently and made arrangements to go back to work. 1 am strong enough to lwalk around wherever want to go, something l have not been able to do for over year. and that is a fact Tanlac mighty nigh raised me from the dead, that's what it has done for me. If you don't believe lwhat l have told youy just ask any of the men around Mine No. s. and lihey will all tell you the fix was in, and how much better off am ln0w.
 Thank God I will soon be able
 , earn a living for my family, and I will owe it all to this medicine, Tanlac. 1 have just written to a daughter of mine in LaFollette, Tenn, who needs medicine like. this, and l want her to take it and get we'll.
 q don't believe now I ever had pellagra, because 1 never did have lany breaking out of any kind'I don't believe had Hookworm, either, but whatever it was, this Tanlac has lcertainly fixed me I don't reckon there ever was a medicine on earth like Tanlac. I will always bless the day I bought this medicine
