MRS. CASON HAD NO
 HOPE OF RETURNING
Went to Atlanta Six Weeks Ago Propped Up on Pillows-TakeS Tanlac and Gains B
 Pounds.

A short time ago Mir. J. B. Battle, who is well known in Atlanta, came into Jacobs Pharmacy to get hottie Of Tanlac for his slster-in-law, Ms 0. $. Cason, who lives some distance out of Atlanta, near Acworth While making the purchase, Mir. Battle told of he wonderful improvement in
 Ms. Cason's condition since she be- sar using the medicine about six weeks ago.
 He also made the statement that Mrs. Cason felt so grateful for ihe wonderful benefit she had recerir1 that sue wanted to make a public statement, as she felt it her duty to tell the whole world about 1anlec. He then suggested that Dr. Elder. tl,e Tanlac representative at Jacobs call at his residence for a personal interview.
 When Dr. Elder called at Mr. Battles residence on English avenue the following morning, it happened that Mir. Battle himself met him at the door and very cordially invited him into his living room. Mrs. Ca son. who was bright and happy, soon made her appearance and began with delight to tell of the wonderful recovery of her health, and her statement will go down in history as being one of the most remarkable ever given a proprietary medicine. Here is her story in her own words:
 About six weeks ago 1 left my home on our farm near Acworth, Ga, to come to my sisters home here in Atlanta, and I left with only a shadow of hope of every return ing alive to my home and husband.
 ''I left Acworth," she continued, "in comfortable automobile, prop ped up on pillows, coming through the country. had almost as much medicine as l had baggage-a big box full of all kinds of medicine that had been prescribed for me. | reached here very weak and ex- hausted and with scarcely enough strength to walk to the door. This trouble, from which I suffered so long. had reduced me to almost al shadow. as l only weighed 60 pounds.
 My brother-in-law, MT, Battle, said, Well, you have tried every thing else with no relief, now Il want you to lay aside your drug shop" and take Tanlac.' Of course l was willing to try it, for the medi- cine is the talk of the whole coun- try. Well, he got it for me and l started on my first bottle that day.
 When I had taken about half of the first bottle began to feel stronger and encouraged. 1 con- tinued to take it and it is nothing short of marvellous how I improved day by day. felt myself further and further from the grave. My appetite returned and my food seemed to norish me and agree with me. My skin and complexion began clearing up and improved in every way possible until I am now a well woman, and when l say well, l mean absolutely what say. I want to tell the whole world that thank God and Tanac.
 T weigh 95 pounds now and feel as well as I ever felt in my life. | am going back to my husband and home on the little farm five miles from Acworth tomorrow, and won't il be a joyful meeting, returning toI my husband and home absolutely well and happy-and won't I tell everybody about what Tanlac has done for mel"
 "Yes, it's just like she says, chimed in Mir. Battle about this time. "Tanlac has simply robbed the grave, and if you could have seen her when she started on this medi- cine, you would say the same thing. \
 "I didn't know at the time just what her trouble was, but the doc- tors said she had pellagra. She may have had it. for all know, but there is one thing certain, she hasn't got it now, or at least you wouldn't think so if you could watch her eat. I told her, iokingly, the other day, that she was eating me out of house and home. l don't guess there ever was a case like hers, and there is one thing certain, you can count on us telling everybody about it, because I fully believe she owes her life to this medicine"
