South Nashville, Tenn, in talking
to the Tanlac representative, re-
garding her remarkable restora-

For a long time I suffered
with stomach trouble and indi-
gestion," she continued, "aud fell
off from 1876 pounds until I only
weighed 100 pounds. I was 30
weak ! couldn't dress myself. let
alone do anything about the
house. I just ached all over, first
In my shoulders and back, and
then in my limbs. My stomach
was so weak and digestion 80 poor
l had to live on the lightest food.
IT had sick headaches, dizzy
spells and felt so run down that
I didn't care whether / lived or
died-even my eyes panied me
and the pains would extend to
my head and ears. MY blood was
thin, my color was bad and |
didn't seem to have any strength
or energy. I even had q choking
sensation in my throat and fire.
quently suffered with smothering
spells. l couldn't sleep to do any
good, and / was so nervous that
the noise of the street cars al
most ran me crazy.
''In this condition I went toI
the hospital, and after long rest
was barely able to get back
home. One day one of my neigh
bors called and begged me to try
Tanlac. I felt my life was slowly
ebbing away, and as every kind
OF medicine l took failed to do
me any good I was getting worse
again. l had them send to De
Moville's for a bottle and began
taking it.
81 came down on the car this
afternoon to get my third bottle
and ! want to tell you l never
thought any medicine could bring
me back to the health Of my girl
hood days, but Tanlac did, and,
oh, am so grateful. Why, sir,
I have gained 10 pounds in weight
and feel just SO good that I hard
ly know myself.
Yesterday one of my neigh
bors called and she didn't recog-
nize me at first, SO great was the
change in my condition, she said.
81 am up going around now and
able to look after many Of the
household duties. / have no ache
or pains, my color is much better.
I can eat anything l want In the
way Of solid food and vegetables,
and, oh. my, everything tastes
good. Those nervous spells have
left me; l sleep like a baby and
get up Of mornings feeling rested
and refreshed. The noise of the
street cars does not bother me,
and I Just feel like I have taken
a new lease on life.
Il want every woman who reads
what I have told you and Is suf-
fering as / was, to come to see
me that may tell them personal
ly that every word of this is true.
/ would Just like for them also
to ask some of my neighbors re-
garding the condition I was in
before I took Tanlac, and they
will tell them just what / have
told you. I am SO grateful to
Mr.. Cooper for his wonderful new
medicine that I would like for you
to send him my heartfelt thanks
for my return to health, for I tell
you I was on the brink of despair,
and was almost a physical and
nervous wreck. but. thanks to
Tanlac, am a new woman now.
with new hopes and new life and
energy"
