MRS CHAS PEDEN
 GAINS 27 POUNDS
Twice Examined and Each Time Told Operation Was Only Hope.

Only nope.
 q have just finished my third bot ] tie of Tanlac and nave gained 27 pounds" was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs. Chas. Peden, residing at $50 Mill street, Huntsville, Ala. Mrs. Peden is one of the best known and highly respected women of that thriving little city, where she has made her home for a number of years.
 When I commenced taking the medicine" she continued, 'i oniy weighed 9S pounds; now I weigh 125 pounds and never felt better in my life. For years I have suffered with bad form of stomach trouble, consti- patton and pains in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of torture and l was twice examined and each time was told that had appen- dicitis and that an operation would be my only hope. I had fallen off until I only weighed 9S pounds and was so weak I could hardly get around.
 T had no appetite at all scarcely,
  gas to form in my stomach, which gave me palpitation of the heart, sick headaches and a dizzy feeling about the head. When the spells came on would get awfully nervous. I wor- ried about myself until I could rest and sleep but little.
 q had fallen of until I was almost skin and bones and my strength and energy were slowly leaving me. I had a dread of the future and could see nothing but the operating table and the knife. I had a perfect horror of an operation, but I had made up my mind that it was either life or death | and prepared to submit to it. 1 had made all preparations tor the operation and called on my sister to tell her goodbye, as I did not know whether | I would live to see her again or not. My sister begged and plead with me not to allow them to cut on me and told me to wait and try a good tonic | for a while. The next day, as I re turned from the consultation room, l thought of what she said and as l had heard so much about Tanlac I de- cided to try it as a last resort, and stopped at Gilbert's Drug Store and bought a bottle. Of course had lost heart and had no faith in the medi- | cine, but to please my sister I made up my mind to take it, and oh, what happy day that was for me!
 T never returned for the operation, but just kept taking the Tanlac. Right | from the start I began to feel better. The medicine seemed to take hold right at once. It had soothing effect was so happy over the wonderful improvement in my condition that l sent for my neighbors to tell them how | much better I felt. I sent and got an other bottle of Tanlac and have just finished taking my third bottle and feel like I have been made all over again into a new woman.
 AS I have said before, l now weigh 125 pounds, and my improvement has been so rapid that none of my clothes are big enough for me. l will have to make them all over again. I now have a ravenous appetite and my hus- band says I am simply eating him out of house and home. 1 have even gone back to my coffee, which l was told not to touch. Those terrific pains in my back and head have all disappear ed and I sleep like a child. I am no longer nervous and when l get up mornings I feel refreshed, cheerful and bright I am now able to attend to my household duties and feel as if l had started life all over again. My husband is highly delighted and my recovery is the talk of the neighbor- mood I do nothing but rejoice all day long over the recovery of my health and praise Tanlac to every | body.
 q feel so grateful for my escape from the operating table and the knife that you may publish what have said you may, if you will, tell other wo- men suffering as 1 was to come and see me and I will be glad to tell them all about my case"
