where she has made her home for a
number Of years.
when | commenced taking the
medicine" she continued, Il only
weighed ninety-eight (98) pounds;
now weigh I25 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 l was told | had appendicitis and
that an operation would be my only
hope. | had fallen off until | only
weighed ninety-eight pounds and was
SO weak could hardly get around.
Il 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 dizzy feeling
about the head. When these spells
came on me would get awfully ner-
vous. | worried about myself until |
could rest and sleep but little.
Il 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 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 opera
ton and called on my sister to tell
her goodbye, as l did not know
whether would live to see her again
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 consultation
room | thought of what she said, and
as | had heard so much abont Tanlac
| decided to try it as last resort
and stopped at Gilber'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 happy day that was for me!
II never returned for the opera
alton, but just kept taking the Tan
lac. Right from the start | began to
feel better. 'rhe medicine seemed to
take hold right at once. 1t had q
soothing effect, and in few days
felt no pain at all. was so happy |
over the wonderful improvement in
my condition that sent for my neigh
bors to tell them how much better |
felt. | sent and got another bottle
of Tanlac. and have just finished TAX
ing my third bottle and feel like
have been made all over again into
new woman.
"As | have said before, | now
weigh l25 pounds, and my improve
ment has been so rapid that none Of
my clothes are big enough for me.
I will have to make them all over
again. | have a ravenous appe-
tite and my husband says | am sim
ply eating him out Of house and home.
| 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. i am no longer nervous, and
when | get up mornings feel re-
freshed, 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 neighborhood. do
nothing but rejoice all day long over
the recovery of my health and praise
Tanlac to everybody.
II feel so grateful for my escape
from the operating table and the
knife that you may publish what |
have said; you may, if you wish, tell
other women suffering as | was, to
come and see me and | will be glad to
tell them all about my CASE"
