A short time ago Mr.. J. B. Battle,
who is we'll known in Atlanta, came
into Jacobs Pharmacy 30 get bottle
of Tanlac for his sister-in-law, Mrs.
o. G. Cason, who lives some distance
out of Atlanta, near Acworth. While
making the purchase, Mr. Battle told
, of the wonderful Improvement of Mrs
Cason's condition since she began u.s.
ing the medicine
He also made the statement that
Mrs. Cason felt so grateful for the
wonderful benefit she had received that
she wanted to make a public state
ment, as she felt it her duty to tell
the whole world about Tanlac. He
'then suggested that DR.. Elder, the
Tanlsc representative at Jacobs, call
at his residence for a personal inter-
view.
When DR.. Elder called at Mr.. Bat
ties residence on English avenue, the
following morning, it happened that
Mr.. Battle himself met him at the
door and very cordially invited him

who was bright and happy, soon made
her appearance and began with de-
light to tell of the wonderful recov.
