Twice Examined and Each
Time Told Operation
Was Only Hope.

II have Just finished my third bot
tie Of Tanlac and have gained twenty
seven pounds" was the truly remark
able statement made by Mrs. Chas.
Peden, residing at $50. Mill street,
Huntsville, Ala. Mrs. Peden is one
Of the best known and highly respect
ed women Of that thriving little city,
where she has made her home for q
number Of years.
~ when commenced taking the
medicine" she continued, II only
weighed ninety-eight pounds, now !
weigh 1875 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 torture and / was
twice examined and each time | was
told that l had appendicitis and that
an operation was my only hope. had

eight pounds and was so weak ] could
hardly get around. j
Il had no appetite at all scarcely,
and what little l did eat would cause
gas to form in my stomach, which
gave me palpatation of the heart, sick
headaches and a dizzy feeling about
the head. When the spells came on
l would get awfully nervous. wor-
ried about ,myst1 until l could rest
and sleep but little. s
II had fallen of until I was almost
skin and bones and my strength and
energy were slowly leaving me, Ihad
dread OF the future and could see
nothing but the operating table and
the knife. | 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
ton and called my sister: to tell her
goodbye, as 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
Tor q while. The next day, as I re-
turned from the consultation room l
thought of what she said and as l
had heard 50 much about Tanlac
decided to try it as a last resort and
stopped at Gilbert's Drug Store and
bought bottle. OF course had lost
heart and had no faith in the medi-
cine, but to please my sister I made
up my mind to take it and Oh, what a
happy day that was for me!
Il never returned for the opera
ton, but just kept taking the Tanlac.
Right from the start I began to feel
better. The medicine seemed to take
hold right at once. 1t has soothing
effect and in few days / felt no pain
at all: ] was 50 happy over the won
derful Improvement in my opinion
that sent for my neighbors to tell
them how much better l felt. I sent
and got another bottle Of Tanlac, and
have just finished taking my third
bottle and feel like I have been made
all over again into a new woman.
"As have said before, / now weigh
125 pounds, and my Improvement has
been SO rapid j that none of my
clothes are big enough for me. will
have to make them all over again.
l now have ravenous appetite and
my husband says I am simply eating

even gone back to my coffee which
I was told not to touch. Those ter
rible pains in my back and head have

child i am no longer nervous and
when l get 1p mornings feel refresh
ed. cheerful and bright. I am now
able to attend to my household duties
and I feel as if I had started life
oil over again. My husband is highly
delighted, and my recovery is the talk
Of the neighborhood. I do nothing
but rejoice all day long over the re-
covery of my health and praise Tan
lac to everybody. ~
II feel so grateful for my escape
from the operating table and the
knife that you may publish what I
have said: you may, if you will, tell
other women suffering as I was, to
come and see me and I will be glad
to tell them about my case" -.
