Il have gained fifteen pounds and
teel stronger and better than have
ielt in twenty years. YVES the re-
narkable statement made by Mrs. NJ.
|. Medders, who lives at 54l Bjythn

Mrs. MedGerS, who is now seventy
two years OF age, reared min atern chill
dFen, eight OF her own and eleven or
Fhans, and her whole life has been
one of great sacrifice and usefulness.
! At the beginning of the Civil War she
volunteered as a nurse and MANY old
soldiers who arc living today will re
/ member the kind services rendered bv
her during those four year of stru@-
) gle.
She married soon after the war and
made her home in Scnatobia, Miss.
where she lived for fifty years until
the death Of her husband. when she
! came to Memphis. Mrs. Meddcrs' hus-
band was in the drug and ieWeIrv
business in Senatobia for great
many years and she is we'll known in
three counties around Senatoba, as
we'll as in Memphis, for her work Of
Ieharity and motherly kindness.
For twenty years" continued Ms.
Medders, 81 suffered with a swimming
in my head and often had spells
something like vertigo Two years ago
began suffering with pleul'isy in both
sides, and was down in bed from May
OF last year until February Of this
year, not able to do anything at all
until Tanlac got me up. | couldn' t
even ride on a street car for at least
eighteen months until Tanlac relieved
me Of that weak and dizzy feeling.
Il had no appetite at all and lived
mostly on buttermilk for months and
months. ] couldn't get any sound sleep
and would just doze and walk up Of
| ten during the night, and, o. course,
| got very weak For six months nv
sides were solid blister where I
used liniments and plasters trying to
get relief from the awful pains caused
by the pleurisy. My case was a very
|stubborn one and seemed to yield very
little to the treatment ] was using.
81 think it was in February that
Tanlac began to be advertised in the
papers, and although / had about given
Iup hope of ever getting up again to
where | was able to do anything, de-
cided to try it. | was willing to try
anything to get a little relief and be
able to sit up, if nothing more. But l
tell you, | was both surprised and glad
after using Tanlac few days to find
| it. was helping me. After | cot through
with my first bottle l had a good APP
lpetite and was eating Just anything
| wanted and lots of it and | was much
stronger. When I finished my third
bottle l was able to go back in the
kitchen and do most o fthe cooking
and l could do nearly all Of my house
work, too. My head ssEoels better of
that swimming and clearer than it has
IN twenty years. For. years | could
not raise my head and look up to turn
off the electric lights, nor could climb
up the stairs, but l can now. While
l realize woman seventy-two years
old can't be made into a girl again,
Tanlac has certainly made a great
! change in me, and | never expected to
feel as well any more as | do now.
My weight used to be one hundred
and tWentyseven pounds, but | got
down to hundred and twelve and
lost and maybe more. I don't have
I'm sure I've gained all gack l had
! the pleurisy ad lumbago any more
either and l feel that Pm entirely free
of it. My nerves have gotten quiet
and l sleep all night long nearly ev-
lery night without waking up at all.
Tanlac is the best medicine I have
ever taken in all my life and l have
taken lots of them. Medicine that
will do as much for old folks as Tan
lac has for me certainly ought to be
good for anybody else and | hope my
statement will cause others to take
Tanlac and get relief as l did"
