10Th. In telling of his remarkable re-
covery from an illness that had defied
the skill OF the best physicians for
over two years, to say nothing OF his
failure to find relief at leading health
/ resorts.
| MI. SCOTS voluntary statement has
the true ring OF sincerity and graft
tude and Is unquestionably one OF the
most remarkable ever given in con-
| nection with a proprietary medicine.
Mr.. SCOTS letter was addressed to
c. F. Moss. a well-known druggist OF
| Benson, Ariz., who has the Tanlac
agency for that town and was for
warded by Mr.. Moss to the Tanlac Of
fIces in Atlanta. His letter follows:
Dragon, Ariz.. Nov. Is. 1917.
Mr.. G. F. Moss, Benson, Ariz.
Dear Sir. AS you expressed a de-
sire to hear more about my case,
will try and tell you part Of it. I was
down and out nearly all the time for
two years with rheumatism and stom-
ach trouble. and went to eight doctors,
two Of whom were osteopaths. Three
OF them refused to take my case, say
ing it was incurable, and the others
might as well have done so, as they
did me no good. I guess have taken
barrel Of medicines. internally and
externally; I also went to Hot Springs
and out Of all that was ever done I
never got over one weeks relief at
time.
After going down to one hundred
and sixteen pounds-which is very
light for six-footer-I kept getting
worse until I couldn't move, even to
feed myself, had no desire to eat and
couldn't sleep more than two hours
night. Some of the officials of the
mine, Of which I am foreman, would
call to see me, then go out and say,
poor old Scott has fired his last
man." My wife thought would never
get out of bed alive, and she knew my
condition better than anybody else.
At last, when I lay helpless, my wife
ordered a bottle of Tanlac from the
druggist at Ell Paso, Tex. which was
that time. One evening about four
days after began taking TanIac,
ate a fair meal and enjoyed It, the
first in many months. By the time
had taken half Of the first bottle
thought I had a good appetite, but
when I finished my second bottle,
could hardly eat enough to satisfy me.
Well, I have just finished my ninth
bottle, have gained eighteen pounds
and am back on the job every day.
I have converted lots Of sufferers
to the "Tanlac route" and 1t affects
them all about like it did me, their
stomach trouble, nervousness and
rheumatism all yield to Tanlac. Mrs.
Scott and myself are willing to go be-
fore a notary and make affidavit as to
the truth Of every statement in this
letter, which you are at liberty to
public and use for the benefit Of
others. Yours very truly,
(Signed) HARRY E. SCOTT.
Accompanying the above was a let
ter from the Moss Pharmacy address,
ed to the Tanlac offices, Atlanta, Ga.
referring in the highest terms to Mr.
Scott as a man and citizen, with the
added statement that both ME-. Scott
and his wife were ready at any time
to go before notary public and swear
that Tanlac is the only medicine he
had ever taken that had any effect
on his rheumatism and stomach
trouble.
He also stated he had another GUS
toner, an old gentleman, who had
taken five bottles OF Tanlac and had
gained twelve to fifteen pounds, and
that they were building up a large
business on Tanlac, etc.
