ENGINEER GAINS 68
Pounds; Took 'Lanlac
Lost Health ConlpIeatly and
Had to Lay OF IS Months.
Almost Lost Hope.
Now Back on Regular Run
: Says Tanlac is Only Rem
edy Ever Helped Him

My name is J. 5. Watson and my
home is in Mobile, Ala. I am thirty
til &c years old and by profession an
reiroad engineer. I taVe regH-
lar run on the work traln between
Selma and Mobile.
up to only few months aGo-that
is, up to the time I started taking
Tanlac-my health was broken down
completely When l commenced tax
ing Tanlac l only weighed one hun
dred and three pounds and had not
been able to work for fifteen months.
Now, after taking only three and
half bottles of Tanlac, 1 weigh one
hundred and seventy-one pounds and
have actually gained siXty-elght
pounds and never felt better in my
life. 1 suffered for several years
with the worst kind of stomach trou-
BILE and constipation. l kept drop
ping down in weight and losing
strength. and finally I broke down
completely I had several attacks Of
what was called acute poisoning OF
the stomach and nobody knows how
I suffered l took treatment at the
Marine Hospital at Algiers. La, and
at Toulane Hospital, New Orleans.
also took treatment at Hot Springs,
Ark and at Lookout Mountain. 10
tell you the truth, l tried everything
/ could think Of andSpent hundreds OF
dollars, but just kept going down
hill, and for fifteen hundreds of dol
lars, but 1 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, l was
awfully discouraged about myself, as
] could see but little hope Of ever be-
ing well again. While 1 was sick and
unable to work, a brakeman gave me
a half bottle Of Tanlac. | took it and
began to feel better right away. My
stomach felt better and l got so [
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 back to work on
a switch engine 1 could just feel my
self gaining in weight and getting
stronger every day, and after taking
my second bottle l went back to run
ming an engine on the main line
Now, since taking three and a half
bottles Of Tanlac, am working reg
ular, running a work train between
Mobile and Selma, the swampiest
country in this section Of the State.
Now, what I have told YOU is the
truth, and hundreds Of people who .
know me and know how I looked be-
fore I took Tanlac will tell you the
hi n,
see from my picture, which l had
taken while 1 was sick, how much
stronger and healthier look now
than 1 did then. They can say what
they please about Fanlac and patent
medicines, but / can truthfully say
that Tanlac is the only medicine that
ever did me any good, and want ev-
erybody to know about it. If people
do not believe you, just tell them to /
come and look at me now and then
look at my picture, which was taken
while I was sick. I will show them
mighty quick what Tanlac has done
for me-
