SAYS TANLAC SAVED
 HIM FROM THE GRAVE
Father of Sixteen Thought End Was Near and Told Wife to Put Children in Odd Fellows Home When He Died

What is probably the most remark able indorsement ever given proprie- tary medicine was the statement made recently by H. J. Williams, coal min CT at the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. mine No. s, near Fairfield, Ala, in the Birmingham district.
 The story of his wonderful restora tion to health was told in his OWL words, and is profoundly interesting. His statement follows:
 T am 54 years of age, and am the the father of sixteen children, eight living and eight dead. I came to Birm' ingnam from East Tennessee, and have followed mining for good many years.
 About two years ago I took sick. The doctors at first thought l had tapeWorm, then hookworm, and finally decided it was Pellagra. l took treat ment from a well-known Alabama Pei lagra cure but got no benefit. The doctors finally told me they couldn't do me any good, and I quit going t9 see them.
 T suffered from a sort of numb feel ing all the time in my back and Was dizzy-headed. I couldn't stoop over. CT stand on my feet for any length of time and couldn't hardly eat anything and nothing tasted good. In fact, l was slowly starving to death.
 ''I lost all of my strength and fell off forty-five pounds in weight. used to weigh when I was well, one hun dred thirty-three pounds, and got oown | to where I only weighed ninety pounds and was almot a walking keleton.
 T finally decided that there was nc more hope for me in this life, and gave my ring to my wife and told hel to put the children in the Odd Fellows home when l died.
 This is just the shape was II when, one day my little daughter said Papa, why don't you try that new med icine everybody is talking about? Il has helped so many people, it nigh help you. Of course 1 had no faitl in anything, but just to please the fam lily. I made one more trial and got thi: Tanlac. May the Good Lord bless tn' day 1 got this medicine, for it was m. salvation.
 "I got relief from the first bottle and began to eat and pick up righ from the start. 1 am now on my fiftl bottle and have actually gained bacl twenty-five pounds, and now weigh ont hundred and fifteen. It just locke, like the more l took the better l got and keep on picking up every ady.
 T went over to the mines yesterda! and made arrangements to go back tt work. l am strong enough to wall around wherever l want to go. some thing l have not been able to do To over a year, and that is fact. Tanla' mighty nigh raised me from the dead that's what it has dore for me. l you don't believe what have told you You ask any of the men around Min No s, and they will all tell you th' fix was in, and how much better of am now.
 Thank oGd, l will soon be able t earn living for my family. and vii owe it all to this medicine, Tanlac. have just written to a daughter o mine in aFollette, Tenn, who needs medicine like this, and l want her t take it and get well.
 T don't believe now l ever had Pe lagra. because never did have an breaking out of any kind. l don't he lieve had hookworm either. but whai ever it was, this Tanlac has certain fixed me. l don't reckon there Wa ever a medicine on earth like Tanla'
