GAINS " POUNDS
Twice Examined and Each Time
:. Told Operation Wa. Only
Hone.

II have Just finished my third bot
Tie OF Tanlac and have gained twenty
seven pounds" was the truly remark
| aDle statement made by by Mrs Chas
Peden, residing at $50 Mill street
huntsville, Ala, Mrs. Peden in one
OF the best known and highly respect
ed women of that thriving little city
where she has made her home for 3
number of years. ~
when commenced taking the
medicine" she continued, Il only
weighed ninety-eight pounds, now ]
weigh 125 pounds and never felt bet
ter In my life. For years have sui
fered 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 I was
twice examined and each time l was
told that I had appendicitis and that
an operation would be my only hope.
l had fallen off until I only weighed
n1nety-eight pounds and was so weak
l could hardly get around.
Il had no appetite at all scarcely,
and what little did eat would cause
gas to form in my stomach, which
gave me palpitation of the heart, sick
headaches and a dizzy feeling about
the head. When the spells came on
would get awfully nervous. 1 wor-
ried about myself until I could rest
and sleep but little.
Il had fallen off until was almost
skin and bones and my strength and
energy were slowly leaving me. I had
a 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 up my
mind that it was either life or death
and prepared to submit to it. I had
made all preparations for the opera
tiOn and called on my sister to tell
her goodbye, as I did not know wheth-
er would live to see her again or not
My sister begged and plead with me
not to allow them to cut on me and
told me to wait and try a good tonic
for while. The next day, as re-
turned from the consultation room l
thought Of what she said and as l
had heard so much about Tanlac I de-
cided to try it as 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 l made
up my mind to take it and oh, what
a happy day that was for me!
II never returned for the opera
tion, but just kept taking the Tanlac
Right from the start l began to feel
better. The medicine seemed to take
hold right at once. 1t had a soothing
effect and in a few days 1 felt no
pain at all. l was so happy over the
;v,or
ton that l sent for my neighbors to
tell them how much better I felt.
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 new woman.
"As have said before, now weigh
l25 pounds, and my improvement has
been so rapid that none Of my clothes |
are big enough for me. l will have
to make them all over again. l now
have ravenous appetite and my hus-
band says I am simply eating him out !
Of house and home. have even gone |
back to my coffee which I was told |
not to touch. Those terrible pains in
my back and head have all disappear
ed and l sleep like child. l am no
longer nervous and when I get up
mornings l feel retreshed, cheertul
and bright. l am now able to attend |
to my household duties and I feel as
if I had started life all over again.
My husband is highly delighted and
my recovery is the talk of the neigh
borhood. I do nothing but rejoice
all day long over the recovery of my
health and praise Tanlac to every
body.
II feel so grateful for my escape
from the, operating table and the
knife that you may publish what l
have said; you may, if you will, tell
other women suffering as l was, to
come and see me and will be glad to
tell them all about my case"
Tanlac is sold in Raymond by AL
bert Kleinhuizen, and by one leading
