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

81 have just finished my third bottle OF
Tanlac and have gained twenty seven
pounds" )" was the truly remarkable state
ment made by Mrs. Chss. Peden, resid-
ing at $50 Mill ST., Huntsville, Alabama.
| Mrs. Peden is one of the best known and
most highly respected women of that city
where she has made her home for num-
| Der OF years
"When commenced taking the medi-
cine," she continued, sI only weighed
ninety eight 1881 pounds; now / weigh
one hundred twenty i've pounds and new
er felt better in my life. For years have
suffered with a bad form of stomach
trouble, constipation and pains in my
side aud back. AT times the pains took
the form OF torture and l was twice ex-
amined and each time told that an opera
tion would be my only hope. / had falleo
off until / only weighed ninety-eight
pounds and was so weak / could hardly
get around.
81 had no appetite scarcely at all, and
what little did eat would cause gas to
form in my stomach which gave me pal
| pitation OF the heart, sick headaches and
a dizzy feeling about the head. When
those spells came ON me, would get aw-
| fully nervous. i worried about myself
until could rest and sleep but little.
"I had fallen off until was almost
''skin and bones" and my strength and
energy were slowly leaving me. 1 had a
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 it.
had made all preparations for the opera
tion and called on my sister to tell her
| goodbye, as l did not know whether
| would live to see her again or not. My
sister begged and pleaded with me 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 returned from the con-
sultation room | thought OF what she
said, and as / had heard so much about
Tanlac, decided to try it 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, made up my mind to take it,
and oh, what a happy day that was for
| mel
~ never returned for the operation,
but just kept taking Tanlac and my i'm
| provement has been so rapid that none of
my clothes fit me. Right from the start /
| began to improve. The medicine seemed
to take hold right at once. 1t had
| soothing effect. and in a few days felt
| no pain at all. l was so happy over my
wonderful improvement that / sent for
my neighbors to tell them how much bet
| ter felt. sent and got another bottle of
Tanlac and have just finished my third
| and feel like have been made over again
into new woman.
"As / have said before, / now weigh
| one hundred and twenty five pounds and
| none OF my clothes are big enough for
| me, and / will have to make them over
again. now have ravenous appetite and
| my husband says / am simply eating him
| out OF house and home. 1 have even gone
| back to my coffee which l was told not to
| touch. Those horrible pains in my back
and head have all disappeared and sleep
| like child. am no longer nervous, and
when get up in the morning / feel re-
freshed, cheerful and bright. / am now
| able to attend to my housework again and
feel as if had started life all over. Ny
| husband is highly delighted and my re-
covery is the talk OF the neigh borhood. 1
do nothing but rejoice all day long over
the recovery of my health and praise Tan
| lac to everybody.
