BEFORE NOTARY
Lifelong Invalid is Restored 70
Health by Tanlac.


On Friday June is, Of 1915 there
appeared in the Chattanooga Evening
News the remarkable story of frail
little woman who had been an in
valid all Of her life, and who had been
restored to health and happiness
by the use Of Tanlac. The person re-
ferred to is Miss LaReu Davis. who
is now a resident of Memphis, and
who lives at 286 Looney avenue.
This statement which is so remark
able as to be almost incredible,
was published in newspapers all
over the south from the Mason
and Dixon line to the Texas border.
In telling of her wonderful restor-
alton to health at that time, Miss
Davis said:
II have always been very delicate
and suffered great deal from stom-
ach trouble and rheumatism. ] rare
ly ever had any appetite and simply
couldn't relish anything. / fell off
in weight until / only weighed 76
pounds, and was SO thin ! looked
perfectly awful. After taking three
bottles of Tanlac | now weigh over
100 pounds and am gaining every
day. My appetite is good and | can
hardly get enough to eat. Even my
complexion has improved and feel
better in every way, Tanlas is simp-
ly grand and / can truthfully say
that this is the only medicine that
ever did me any good.''
At the time she made this state
ment Miss Davis lived in Chattanoo-
ga and made her home at 210 Glass
street, East Chattanooga.
A still more remarkable feature of
this case came to light recently when
she came of her own free will and
accord to tell DR.. w. B. Logan, the
special Tanlac representative at
Memphis, that she was still in the
best of health and that she had
gained seven pounds in addition
to the "a pounds reported last June,
and that she felt that she owed not
only her present health, but her
life to this great medicine.
Out of sheer gratitude Miss Davis
consented to- give not only a second
statement, but to make a sworn af-
fidavit to the facts in her remark
able case, WHICH appears below;
miss LaReu Davis, formerly of
210 Glass street, Chattanooga, Tenn.
now living at 286 Looney avenue,
Memphis, appeared before me in
person and made the following state
ment:
"In June, 1915, |, of my own free
will and accord, went to the Live and
Let Live Drug Company at Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, to see the Tanlac rep
resentatiye and gave him my testi-
monial stating the fact that | had
used three or four bottles of Tanlac,
and that the statement then given
was true and that | wish to state
now that every word contained there
in still holds true. Furthermore, |
have not had a days sickness since
that time, and that | am improving
all the time. have gained seven
pounds more. making 81 pounds gain
ed since ! began taking Tanlac. Be-
fore | began taking it | weighed rs
pounds, and now | weigh 107.
~ desire to state further that /
am willing to answer all inquiries
and consider that | owe my present
good health to Tanlac. ! cannot re-
frain from adding this second state
ment to the one ] have already Civ
en-, that | cannot give enough praise
to Tanlac.
II have not taken any Tanlac, or
felt the need of any medical atten-
tion up to the present time since the
above date"
