heart. sick headaches and a dizzy
feeling about the head. When those

fully nervous. l worried about my

most skin and bones and my
strength and energy were slowly
leaving me. 1 had a dread OF the

the operating table and the knife.

ton. but had made up my mind that
it was either life or death and pre-
pared 10 submit to it, / had made
all preparations for the operation
and called on my sister 10 tell her
goodbye as l did not know whether
I would live to see her again or not
Nv sister begged and pleaded with
me not to allow them TO cut on me
and told me to wait and try good
tonic for a while The next day as
l returned from the consultation
room L thought of what she said.
and as / had heard so much about
Tanlac. l decided to try il as last
resort. and stopped at the drug
store and got bottle. OF course, 1
had lost heart and had no faith in
medicine, but TO please my sister. /
