Chair tor Over Two Years, and
Thought She Would Not Live
Long.

you can tell them that it helped
my wife, too; and of all the people
that have made statements about get
ting benefit from Tanlac | believe we
have the most cause to be thankful,
for she thought she wouldn't be liv-
ing long and the doctor didn't give
me any encouragement"
This remarkable statement was
made by Mr.. ]. L. Brown. well-known
carpenter of College Park, Atlanta.
Mr.. Brown added very seriously that
he felt unable to express in words his
great appreciation for what Tanlac
had done for his home and the mother
Of his eight children. and then went
on to say:
For over two years she has had to
live practically on nothing but milk,
being bothered as she was with a bad
stomach trouble that kept dragging
her down until she was hardly more
than living skeleton. She didn't
seem to get any strengthening rest
at night and simply had no energy
for ANYTHING. In fact, she spent
about all her time between her bed
and the chair and didn't feel like TAX.
ing any interest in ANYTHING.
"She had a mighty bad breaking
out on her ankles, too, and all the
way up to her knees and these places
would then swell up terribly. Her
color was bad, too, and it just looked
like nothing on earth could ever do
her any good or liven her up.
well, some strange things happen
in this world, and the change in her
is certainly one of them, for it was a
short time ago that she was as bad
off as she has been at all, and now
she's a we'll woman and | am sure a
happy man! She has taken just three
bottles of Tanlac and weighs 100
pounds-that is, shes gained 20
pounds since she began taking it.
MY wife now eats heartily, sleeps
good and feels as strong as she did
years ago, She is now doing all her
homework and cooking and says she
will never be able to say enough
about this Tanlac. We don't mind
who you tell about this, for it's moth
ing but the plain, simple truth-and
chat don't hurt anybody"
