Before i began taking Tanlac

Before i began taking Tanlac | 9?1y weighed I25 ponds Today :, got on the scales and l tipped the beam av 156-a gain of 2l pounds and more than l ever weighed in my life. That's just exactly what four bottles of Tanlac did for me. Why, just look at this belt! had to let it out four inches and it's still tight on me.
 About seven years ago l commence ed having stomach trouble and at tacks of acute indigestion. When these spells would come on me, l would just swell up like mule with the collie and sometimes l would get ;,s limp as a rag. My breath would get short and my pulse so weak was afraid my heart would stop beating. The stomach pump would have to be used every time and guess that is about the only thing that saved me. "Finally my kidneys went back on me, too, and I didn't believe l was out of pain night or day for four long years. and 1 actually got so weak l could hardly stand on my feet much less work. 1 had no appetite and couldn't digest anything. To tell you the truth, 1 was slowly starving to death and l got down to where l only weighed TO pounds. Now think of that, a grown man only weighing 70 pounds-but it's 8 fact and hun dreds of people who know me will tel! you the same thing.
 "Yes, sir, l was almost a walking skeleton and to .ell you the truth, ] was flirting with the grave, and 1 guess l would have been there right now if it hadn't been for Tanlac. Just to show you how sick ] was I couldn't hit lick of work for four years and was just about as near dead as any man you ever saw to be alive. "But look at me now, here l am walking around and feel as we'll as 1 ever felt in my life. have a reg ular job now with the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, and l can do as good a days work as anybody. l have paid out l guess not less than $2,500 in the past six or seven years for doc 1 tors bills and medicines and have bought enough medicine from drug stores in Birmingham to own an inter- est in one of them, and guess ] was lucky not to have an undertaker's bill to wind up with. Now, then, what have told you is the truth and if any man has ever been through the rub 1 am that man.
 q have been painter all of my life and had painters cclic several times so guess that had little to do witE my troubles. Anyway, there seemed to be nothing that would straighter me out. Every time 1 read about 2 new medicine, I would get it. I reae about Tanlac one day and that's one time I hit it right. That's what savec my life and it is the. only thing tha ever helped me particle. ] eat SC much now l actually get ashamed o1 myself n'v landlaldy said the other da, she would have to raise my board. told her, though, that she must remen1 Der that for four years she made money off of me and that l was only making up for lost time. And sleep why, l never would wake up if they didn't come in and shake me and haven't a pain about me now"
