skin and bcnes,' and my strength and
energy were slowly leaving me.
had a dread of the future and could
see nothing but the operating table
and knife. | had perfect horror of

sultation room | thought of what she
i ha1 nd 11alo
about Tanlac | decided to try it as a
last resort and stopped in at Gilbert's
Drug Store and got a bottle. OF
course, had lost heart and had no
faith in the medicine, but to please
my sister. l had made up my mind to
take it, and, oh what a happy day that
was for me.
81 never returned for the operation,
but Just kept taking .Tanlac. Right
from the start | began to feel better
The medicine seemed to take hold
right at once. 1t had a soothing
effect and in a few days l had no
pain at all. l was so happy over the
wonderful Improvement in my con
dition that l sent for my neighbors
to tell them how much better I felt.

lac, and have just finished taking my
third bottle and feel like I have been
made over into a new woman
"As | have said before, now weigh
1875 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. l now
have ravenous appetite, and my hus-
band says that ] am eating him out of
house and home. | have even gone
back to my coffe, which | was told
not to touch Those terrible paines
in my back and head have all disap
peared and sleep like child. | am
no longer nervous, and when | get up
mornings, feel refreshed cheerful
and bright. | am now able to attend
to my household duties, and feel
as if | had started life all over again.
My husband is highly delighted, and
my recovery is the talk of the neigh
borhood. | do nothing but rejoice all
day long over the recovery of my
health and praise Tanlac to every
body
81 feel so grateful for my escape
from the operating table and the
knife that you may publish what l
have said; you may, if you wish, tell
other women suffering as l was, to
come and see me and will be glad to
tell them about my case"
