SPENT TWO YEARS
IN HER BED and
ROLLING CHAIR
Mrs. E. O. Wilson Had
Given Up All Hope Of
Recovery; in Hospital
) Months.


For two years / spent all my
time either in the hospital, in
bed or in a rolling chair. and
during that time | was given up
to die, and | don't guess ! would
be here now il it hadn't been for
Tanlac," said Mrs. Il. o. Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson Is we'll known in At
lanta, Ca, her husband having
been employed by the Constitu-
ton for a number of years.
Il was great sufferer from
Chronic Indigestion, continued
Mrs. Wilson, and don't guess
anybody ever had to go thru with
what ! did. ! was very weak and
nervous, and at times had those
dreadful smothering sensations.
to the point of fainting. | had
dreadful headaches, severe pains
in my back and over my kidneys,
and my joints ached all the time.
For two years | had to live entire
ly on boiled milk, toast and soft
digest well, and would sour on my
stomach. / didn't know what it
was to get a good nights sleep.
took one kind of medicine after
another until our house was al
most filled with empty bottles,
but instead of improving | was
getting worse all the time. Finally,
they took me to the hospital for
treatment, and ] lay there for
five long months. But even that
didn't make me we'll. 1t was
taking nearly eveny cent of my
husbands wages to pay my doctor
and drug bills-our drug bill
alone amounted to $14 or $15 a
month and one doctor bill
amounted to sos.
1T looked like everything had
failed TO help me, and ! had about
given up all hope, when one day
my husband brought a bottle of
Tanlac home with him and asked
me to take it. He said he had
been reading and hearing a lot of
good things about it, and didn't
see any reason why it shouldn't
help me. was confined to my
rolling chair when | began taking
it.
DO | look like an invalid now?
certainly don't feel like one, and
! have actually gained twenty
five t25D pounds on eleven bottles
of Tanlac. and feel as we'll as |
ever did in my life. can eat
anything | want-such things as
meat. turnips, hard-bolled eggs
don't hurt me a particle and /
sleep as good as | did when | was
girl in my teens. can get
about as well as anybody, and just
the other day | walked downtown,
and | am running around the
neighborhood calling on my
friends nearly all the time now. |
haven't a pain about me. ! be-
lieve I am the happiest woman in
Atlanta, and think | have. a right
to be. think my recovery is al
most a miracle. and everybody in
our neighborhood thinks the
same
When DR.. f. B. Elder, the Tan
lac representative, called at Mrs.
Wilson's pretty home at IS Crew
street, her husband was present
and added much to the little
woman's testimony. Yes he
said, Its simply wonderful the
way this medicine acted, and no
one is more thankful than | am
for what it has done for her. She
told me herself a few months ago
that she didn't think she could
live. and l thought the same
thing; for | was told by two reput-
able doctors right here in Atlanta
that she could not last another six
months. 1t certainly has brought
lhappiness into our little home-it
saved Mrs. Wilson's life and
there's no doubt about it,
Tanlac is sold in Tacoma by
French Drug Co. under the per-
sonal direction of special Tanlac
representatives ADVERTISEMENT
