MOTHER WORRIED
..::'-0VtR DAUGHTER
Was So Frail She Had TO Be Carried
Upstairs-"Change Is
Wonderful

mo one could see the wonderful
change that has taken place IN the
condition OF our young daughter
Thelma, in the past few weeks With
out believing in Tanlac,- said Mrs.
I'M. O'Donnell of 104 Second Ave,
south, st. Paul, Mimi, recently, In
one of the most interesting and re-
markable statements yet published
in connection with the Master Medl-
cine.
Mrs. O'Donnell's husband Is
valued employee of Swift Company,
with whom he has been connected for
the past thirty.seven years-fifteen
years in Omaha, Neb,, and the past
twenty-five years in st. Paul.
"Thelma, who is now fifteen years
of age" said Mrs. O'Donnell, took
whooping cough last Jury year ago.
At this time she weighed one hun
dred and thirty-five pounds and was
in perfect health The cough stayed
with her for twenty-four weeks ana
in the meantime she contracted
pneumonia. Her stomach became SO
upset that she could not retain any
thing she would eat and she lost
weight until she was hardly more
than frame of skin and bones. She
was so weak she couldn't get out OF
bed without help and was pitiable
sight to look at. She reminded me
of the pictures of the starving
Armenian children l have SO often
seen. We put her under the very
best treatment and spent more than
a thousand dollars, but she kept get
ting weaker. She suffered terribly
with pains in her back over her kid
neys and her feet and hands We're
like ice all the time. She had three
different attacks of pneumonia and
also an attack of pleurisy during the
last year.
Last Summer we took her to
Omaha hoping the change Of climate
and surroundings would help her,
but had to bring her back home In
lust a week as it did not agree with
her. We had to feed her on broths,
toast and things OF that kind and
had to carry her up stairs to bed as
she could not walk. Seven weeks
ago we took her to the best specialist
in the northwest. At this time she
weighed only eighty-one pounds and
was so weak and frail she could not
take more than hair dozen steps.
After thorough examination this
great physician said the chances
were "a hundred to one against her
recovery She was too weak to stand
an operation and we were so discour-
aged that we did not know what to
I do.
| 1T was then that got bottle of
| Tanlac for her and our surprise and
! Joy can be imagined when, witnin
weeks time after she began taking
it, we noticed an Improvement in ner
condition. Her appetite picked up
and she insisted on eating things ehe
had not touched in more than fifteen
months, and had no ill effects from
them Since then it has been beyond
my understanding the way she has
improved That bioated condition is
about gone and she is eating meats
and just anything else she wants.
She is now able to be up walking
around, goes in to ST. Paul with lie
every other day and is taking an in
Iterest in life again. Last Friday she
took walk of twenty-one blocks and
returned feeling fine. She has already
gained ten pounds in weight, is not
nervous like she was, and Is getting
a good healthy color IN her checks.
In fact, she never complains OF an
ache or pain now and from the way
she Is building UP She will soon be
like herself again. We are just SO
glad to see how perfectly her health
is being restored that we want to
tell everybody about Tanlac. l just
want to say to everyone that l think
Tanlac is the most wonderful medi-
CHE. in the world. We are all, prais-
Ing at my, house and never expect
ia, be without it. ...~sYss
