81 have just finished my third bottle

when commenced taking the
medicine" she continued, ~ only
weighed ninety-eight (9s) pounds; now
weigh one hundred and twenty-five
pounds. and never felt better in my
life. For years ! have suffered with a
bad form of stomach trouble, consti-
patton and pains in my side and back.
At times the pains took the form of
torture and l was twice examined, and
each time told that an operation would
he my only hope. l had fallen off un-
til only weighed ninety-eight pounds
and was SO weak / could ha rdly get
around.
II had no appetite scarcely at all,
and what little l did eat would cause
gas TO form in my stomach. which
give mo palpitation of the heart, sick
headaches and dizzy feeling about
the head. When those spells came on
me. l would get awfully nervous.
worried about myself until could rest
and sleep but little.
~ had fallen off until was almost
skin and bones and my strength and
energy were slowly leaving me, ! had
dread of the future. and could see
nothing but the operating table and
the knife. I had a perfect horror of
an operation, but had made un my
mind that it was either life or dea tn.
and prepared to submit to it. | had
made all preparations for the opera-
ton and called on my sister to tell
her goodbye, as did not know
whether I would live to see her again
or not My sister begged and pleaded
with me not to allow them to cut oil
me and told me to wait and try q good
tonic for while. The next day as
returned from the consultation room |
thought of what she said, and as
had heard so much about Tanlac,
decided to try II 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 happy day that wa IS
for me!
II never returned for the operation,
but Just kept taking Tanlac, and my
improvement has been SO rapid that
none of my clothes tit me. Right from
the start l began 10 improve. The
medicine seemed to take hold right a I
once 1t had soothing effect. and in
few days felt no pain at all. I was
SO happy over my wonderful improve
nent that ] sent for my neighbors to
tel them how much better / felt II
sent and got another hottie of Tanlao
ana 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 1 will have to make them
over again. now have ravenous
appetite and my husband says / am
simply eating him out Of house and
home. have even gone back to my
coffee, which / was told not to touch. |
Those horrible pains in my hack and
head have all disappeared and l sleep
like child, ] am no longer nervous,
and when | get up in the mornings | |
feel refreshed. cheerful and bright !
am now able TO attend to my house
work again, and I feel as If had
started life NIL over. MY husband is
highly delighted and my recovery is
the talk OF tho neighborhood. / do
nothing but rejoice all day long over
the recovery of my health and praise
Tanlac to everybody.
~ feel so grateful for my escape
from the operating table and the knife
that you may publish what l have said;
you may II you wish tell other women
suffering as was to come and see me
and I Will be glad to tell them about
my ease"
