MRS CASON HAD NO
HOPE OF RETURNING
Went to Atlanta Propped up on Pill
lows. Takes Tanlae and Gains IS
Pounds,

A short time ago, Mrs. J. B. Battle,
who is we'll known in Atlanta, came
into Jacobs Pharmacy to get a bot
tie of Tanlac for his sister-in-law,
Mrs. o. C. Cason, who lives some
distance out of Atlanta, near AcwOrth
While making the purchase Mr.. Bat
tie told of the wonderful improve
ment in Mrs. Cason's condition since
she began using 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
statement, and she felt it her duty to
tell the whole world about Tanlac.
He then suggested that DR.. Elder,
the Tanlac representative at Jacobs,
call at his residence for a personal
interview.
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 into his living room. Mrs. Cason,
who was bright and happy, soon
made her appearance and began with
delight to tell of the wonderful re-
covery of her health, and hbr state
ment will go down in history as being
one of the msot remarkable ever given
a proprietary medicine. Here is
her story in her own words:
"About six weeks ago ! left my
home on our farm near Acworth, Ga,
to come to my sisters home here in
Atlanta and / left with only sha-
dow of hope Of ever returning alive
to my home and husband.

ped up on pillows, coming through
the country. | had almost as much
medicine as l had baggage big
box full of all kinds of medicines that
had been prescribed for me. ! reach
ed here very weak and exhausted
and with scarcely enough strength
to walk to the door. The trouble
from which | had suffered so long,
had reduced me to almost sha-
dow, as l only weighed go pounds.
"My brother-in-law, Mr.. Battle,
said, well, you have tried everything
else with no relief, now | want you
to lay aside your drug shop" and
take Tanlac.' OF course was willing
to try it, for the medicine is the talk
of the whole country. Well, he got
it for me and / started on nv first
bottle that day.

the first bottle began to feel strong

take it and it is nothing short of
marvellous how | improved day by

ther from the grave. My appetite re-
turned and my food seemed to nour-
ish me and agree with me. My skin
and complexion began clearing up
and ! improved in every way possible

when l say well, / mean absolutely
what / say. l want to tell the whole
world that / thank God and Tanlac.
Il weigh 95 pounds now and feel as
well as / ever felt in my life. | am
going back to my husband and home
on the little farm five miles from
Acworth tomorrow, and won't it be a
joyful meeting returning to my hus-
band and home absolutely we'll and

chimed in Mr.. Battle about this time.
''Tanlac has simply robbed the grave
and if you could have seen her when
she started on this medicine, you
would say the same thing.
Il didn't know at the time just
what her trouble was, but the doctors
said she had pelIagra. She may have
had it for all | know, but there is one
thing certain, she hasn't got it now.

you could watch her eat. / told her.
