MRS, CHAS. PEDEN GAINS 27 POUNDS
WAS TWICE EXAMINED AND EACH TIME TOLD OPERATION WOULD
 BE HER ONLY HOPE


 able statement made by Mrs. Chas. Peden. residing at $50 Mill St, Hunts- Vile, Alabama. Mrs. Peden is one of the Lest known and most highly re- spected women of that city where she has made her home for a number of years.
 When commenced taking the medicine she continued. q only weighed ninety eight (9s) pounds: now weigh one hundred twenty-five pounds and never felt better in my life For years I have suffered with a bad form of stomach trouble, constipation and pains in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of tor ture and I was twice examined and each time told that an operation would be my only hope. I had fallen off until l only weighed ninety eight pounds and was so weak could hardly get around
 T had no appetite scarcely at all, 'iN "ht'A lllNlt ulu Stt WouIu CduSt gas to form in my stomach which gave me palpitation of the heart. sick headA aches and a dizzy feeling about the head. When those spells came on me- would get awfully nervous. wor- ried about myself until could res. and sleep but little.
 "I had fallen off until was almost skin and bones and my strength and energy were slowly leaving me had q dread of the future and could see nothing but the operating table and the knife. l had perfect horror of an operation. but had made up my mind that it was either life or death and prepared to submit to 1t. had made all preparations for the opera tion and called on my sister to tell her would live to see her agaiA or not. My sister begged and pleaded with mo not to allow them to cut on me and told me to wait and try a good tonic for a while. The next day as l re- turI4d from the consultation room I thought of what she said. and as had to try il as last resort. and stopped at the drug store and got a bottle. Of course. had lost heart and had no faith in medicine. but to please my sister. l made up my mind to take it. and oh. what a happy day that was for me.
 q never returned for the operation. but just kept taking Tanlac and my improvement has been so rapid that none of my clothes fit me. Right from the start I began to improve. The medicine seemed to take hold right at once. It had soothing ef- feet. and in few days I felt no pain at all. I was so happy over my won derful improvement that I sent for my neighbors to tell them how much bet ter felt. I sent and got another bot tie of Tanlac and have just finished my third and feel like I have been made over again into a new woman.
 As I have said before. now weigh one hundred and twenty-five pounds and none of my clothes are big enough for me, and I will have to make them over again. I now have ravenous appetite and my husband says I am simply eating him out of house and home. have even gone back to my coffee which I was told not to touch. Those horrible pains in my back and head have all disappeared and I sleep like child. am no longer nervous. and when I get up in the mornings feel refreshed. cheerful and bright. [ am now able to attend to my house. work again and feel as if had start ed life all over My husband is high ly delighted and my recovery is the talk of the neighborhood. I do noth- ing but rejoice all day long over the recovery of my health and praise Tan lac to everybody.
 | T feel so grateful for my escape from the operating table and the knife that you may publish what have said: you may if you wish. tell other women suffering as I was to come and see me and l will be glad to tell them abou: my case"
