 Nine Pounds.

T told my husband that my Tan

 bottle, as l wouldn't be without it
 for any amount of money, and that is
 why l am here today" said Mrs. H <. B. Barrett when she called at Jacobs drug store in Birmingham recently
 to get her second bottle. Mrs. Bar rett resides at Republic, suburb of
 Birmingham, and is well known.
 T have only taken one bottle of
 Tanlac and have gained nine pounds.

 to try anything that thought would
 help me. l was never so surprised
 in my life; it helped me right from the start, the medicine seemed to take hold right at once and I could feel myself getting better from day to day. Before 1 finished my first bottle I got so I could eat anything Phh Oti tiiV dliu tOulu ildIulN

 My neighbors were as much sur prized as I was and they are at my house every day, telling me how well look. l counted up yesterday and fourteen of them are either talk ing Tanlac or will commence taking it as soon as they can go to Birming- ham and get it. Tanlac is certainly
 a wonderful medicine and every body out our V ay is talking about it.
