home is in Mobile, b. Ala. am thirty
three years old and by, profession
am railroad engineer. have a
regular run on the work train be-
tween Selma and Mobile.
"Up to only a few months ago
that is, up to the time started TAX
ing Tanlac-my health was broken
down completely. When I commenc-
ed taking Tanlac I only weighed one
hundred and three pounds and had
not been able to work for fifteen
months. Now, after taking only
three and half bottles of Tanlac,
weigh one hundred and seventy
one pounds and have actually gain
ed sixty-eight pounds and never felt
better in my life. I suffered for
several years with the worst kind of
stomach trouble and constipation. I
kept dropping down in weight and
losing strength, and finally broke
down completely. I had several at
tacks of what was called acute pois-
oning of the stomach and nobody
knows how I suffered. I took tract
ment at the Marine Hospital, at AL
giers, La, and at Toulane Hospital,
New Orleans. I also took treatment
at Hot Springs, Ark, and at Look
out Mountain. To tell the truth, 1
tried everything I could think of and
spent hundrends of dollars, but I just
kept going down hill, and for fifteen
whole months I was unable to run
my engine or to do any other kind of
work. OF course, I was awfully dis
couraged about myself, as l could see
but little hope Of ever being well a
gain. While I was sick and unable
to work, brakeman gave me a half
bottle of Tanlac. I,took it and be-
gan to feel better right away. My
stomach felt better and I got SO I
could eat and enjoy my meals. When
this was gone I bought another bot
tie, and after finishing it l felt so
much better I went to work on a
switch engine. I could just feel my
self gaining in weight and getting
stronger every day, and after taking
a second bottle I went back to- run
ming an engine on the main line.
:: -. ::::...Now, since taking three and a;
half bottles of Tanlac, I am working
regular, running a work train be-
tween Mobile and Selma, the swamp
lest country in this section of the
State. Now, what I have told you
is the truth, and hundreds of people
who know me will tell you the same
thing. Another thing, you can see
from my picture which I had taken
when / was sick, how much stronger
and healthier I look now than I did
then. They can say what they please
about Tanlac and patent medicines,
but I can truthfully say, that Tanlac
is the only medicine that ever did me
any good, and 1 want. everybody to
know about it. If people do nto be-.
eve you, just tell them to come and
look at me now, and then look at my
picture which was taken when 1 was
sick. I will show them mighty quick
what Tanlac has done for me-"
