TWO YEARS IN BED
AND ROLLING CHAIR
Mrs. Wilson Says She Had Given
Up All hope-..Gains Is Pounds
on TanIac and Is Now a Well
Woman.

For two years | spent all my time
either in the hospital, in bed, or in a
rolling chair, and during that time |
was given up to die, and don't guess
| would be here now if it hadn't been
for Tanlac," said Mrs. E. O. Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson is well known in Atlanta,
her, husband having been employed by
The Constitution for number Of
years.

times had those dreadful smothering
sensations to the point of fainting.
had dreadful headaches, severe pains
in my back and over my kidneys, and
my joints ached all the time. For
two years had to live entirely on
boiled milk, toast and soft boiled
eggs, and even that didn't digest well,
and would sour on my stomach.
didn't know what it was to get a
good nights sleep. took one kind
of medicine after another until our
house was almost filed with empty
bottles, but instead of improving ]
was getting worse all the time. Fin
anlly they took me to the hospital for
treatment. and | lay there for five
long months, but even that didn't
make me well. 1t was taking nearly
every cent of my husbands wages to
pay my doctor and drug bills-our
drug bill alone amounted to $14 OF
1915 a month and one doctor bill
amounted to $l08.
1T looked like everything had
failed to help me, and | had about
given up all hope when one day my
husband brought bottle Of Tanlac
home with him and asked me to take
il. He said he had been reading and
hearing lot of good things about it,
and didn't see any reason why it
shouldn't help me. | was confined to
my rolling chair when | began taking
it.
"Do | look ike and invalid now
| certainly don't feel like one, and |
have actually gained twenty-five (25)
pounds on eleven bottles of Tanlac,
and feel as well as | ever did in my
life. can eat anything | want

AS Angela Moore, the little Amer

what is readily Thought to be the
greatest dramatic effort of her career.
In scenes that demand mu~h of her
histrionic finesse she offers a pors-

little Actress.
In the production of "The Lit e
