TWO YEARS IN
BED AND CHAIR
Mrs. Wilson Gave Up Hope-Gains
Is Pounds On Tanlac And Is Now

"For two years I spent all my time
either in the hospital, in bed, or in a
rolling chair, and during that time
I was given up to die, and I don't
guess I would be, here now if it hadn't
been for Tanlac," said Mrs. E. O. Will
son. Mrs. Wilson is we'll known in At
lanta, Ca, her husband having been
employed by The Constitution for a
number Of years.
81 was a great sufferer from chron-
ic Indigestion" continued Mrs. Wilson,
" and don't guess any one had to 60
through with what I did. I was very
weak and nervous, and at times had
those dreadful smothering sensations
to the point Of fainting. I had dread
full headaches, severe pains in my back
and over my kidneys and my joints
ached all the time. For two years I
had to live entirely on boiled milk,
toast and soft boiled eggs, and even
that didn't digest we'll, and would
sour on my stomach. I didn't know
what it vas to get a good nights
| sleep. I took one kind Of medicine af-
ter another until our house vas almost
filled with empty bottles, but instead
of improving I was getting worse all
the time. Finally they took me to the
hospital for treatment, and I lay there
for five long months, but eve that
didn't make me we'll. It was taking
nearly every cent Of my husbands
wages to pay my doctor and drug bills
our drug bill alone amounted to $14
or SIS a month, and one doctor bill
amounted to $108.
'It looked like everything had fail
ed to help me, and I had about given
up all hope when n 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 wouldn't help me.
I was confined to my rolling chair
when I began taking it.
"Do I look an invalid now? I GER
tainly don't feel like one, and I have
actually gained rs pounds on eleven
bottles of Tanlac, and feel as we'll IS
I ever did in my life. I can eat any
thing I want-such things as meat,
turnips, hard-boiled eggs don't hurt
me a particle, and I sleep as good as
I did when I was a girl in my teens.
I can get about as well as anybody
and just the other day I walked down
town, and I am running around the
neighborhod calling on my friends
nearly all the time now I haven't a
pain about me. I believe I am the
happiest woman in Atlanta, and I
think I have a right to be. I think my
recovery is a miracle and everybody
in our neighborhod thinks the same"
Tanlac is sold in Bottineau by S.
Sigurdson, in Westhope by Westhope
Drug Co. and in Gardena by Ben
Boltz.
