tie of Tanlac, and have gained TWEEN
ty-seven pounds" was the truly re-
markable statement made by Mrs.
Charles Peden, residing at $50 Mill
street, Huntsville, Ala. Mrs Peden
is one of the best-known and most
respected women of that thriving lit
tie city, where she has made her
home for number of years.
"When | commenced taking the
medicine" she continued, II only
weighed ninety eight (98) pounds;
now | weigh 125 pounds, and never
felt better in my life. For years /
have suffered with bad form of
stomach trouble, constipation and
pains in my side and back. at times
the pains took the form of torture and
| was twice examined and each time
| was told that had appendicitis
and that an operation would be my
only hope. l had fallen off until |
only weighed ninety-eight pounds and
was so weak | could hardly get "a
round.
II had no appetite at all scarcely,
and what little | did eat would cause
gas to form in my stomach, which
gave me palpitation of the heart, sick
headaches and a dizzy feeling about
the head. When these spells came
on me / would get awfully nervous.
] worried about myself until / could
rest and sleep but little.
81 had fallen off until was almost
skin and bones,' and my strength
and energy were slowly leaving me.
had dread of the future and could
see nothing but the operating table
and knife. | had a perfect horror
of an operation, but had made up my
mind that it was either life or
death, and prepared to submit to it.
! had made all preparations for the
operation and called on my sister to
tell her goodbye, as did not know
whether | would live to see her a
gain 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 | returned from the con-
sultation room | thought of what
she said, and as | had heard so much
about Tanlac decided to try it as a
last resort and stopped 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 | made up my mind to take
it, and, oh what a happy day that was
for mel
II never returned for the opera
ton, 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
felt no pain at all | was so happy
over the wonderful improvement in
my condition that | sent for my
neighbors to tell them how much bet
ter felt. sent and got another bot
tie of .Tanlac, and have just finished
taking my third bottle and feel like

new woman
GAS | have said before, l now
weigh 125 pounds, and my improve
ment has been so rapid that none of
my clothes are big enough for me.
| will have to make them all over
again. / now have a ravenous appe-
tite and my husband says l am simp-
ly eating him out of house and home.
i have even gone back to my coffee,
which | was told not to touch. Those
terrible pains in my back and head
have all disappeared and | sleep like
a child. | am no longer nervous, and
when l get up mornings l feel re-
freshed, cheerful and bright. | am

life all over again. My husband is
highly delighted, and my recovery is
the talk of the neighborhood l do
nothing but rejoice all day long over
the recovery of my health and praise
Tanlac to everybody.
Il feel SO grateful for my escape
from the operating table and the
knife that you may publish what !

glad to tell them all about my case. -
