1 Tells Story Filled With
Human Interest.
HAD TO SACRIFICE HOME
Friends and Neiehbors Called and Of
fered Encouragement and
Sympathy.

n A loving husband and little
daughter tearfully waiting for
the dread summons which would take
away wife and mother.
That, in brief, describes the scene
enacted one October day, year ago,
when E. 0. Wilson and his little
daughter sat in darkened room await
ing the end they thought near.
This chapter in the story of the Will
son family is one of sorrow and
suffering, pathos and human interest.
It is one which touched the hearts of
friends and caused them to pour out
sympathy to Borrowing husband.
Five years ago E. o. Wilson. his wife
and child were happy family. They
moved to Atlanta from Abtuyiiie, S. c.,
so Mr.. Wilson could accept position
on newspaper.
Mr.. Wilson prospered and the family
moved into a listle home of their own.
Mrs. Wilson took an interest in
church work and in the Woman's Aux
Hilary of the Typographical union. Her
future looked bright.
II was in the early part of 1913 that
the blow fell. But let Mr.. Wilson
tell the story. He can do it better, be-
cause every detail Is indellbly stamped

being permitted to have with me today
my dear wife that l am voluntarily
making this statement. l want every
body interested to know that it comes
from the bottom of my heart.
During the spring of 1913 when l
thought that nothing could impair my
happiness the blow fell. My wife, I'M
til that time healthy and strong, was
stricken with illness. She was weak
and nervous and at times had dread
full smothering sensations to the point
of fainting. She would have fearful
headaches, pains in her back and over
her kidneys and her joints ached all
the time. She got so bad off that she
couldn't do her homework and had to
takbto II bed. She didn't know what
it was to get good nights sleep.
81 called a doctor who treated her
eight weeks and she showed no i'm
provement. l took the advice of an
other doctor and my wife was operated
upon twice and spent II weeks in two
hospitals with several weeks of nursing
at home between operations.

was in debt. So l sacrificed my home.

They told me she could not possibly

'The five days passed and, although
she still lived, she grew weaker and

To-day she is perfect picture of
health. She can eat anything she wants.
Such things as meat, turnips, and hard
boiled eggs do not bother her a par

when girl in her teens. She took
eleven bottles of Tanlac and gained 80
