TWO YEARS IN BED
 AND ROLLING CHAIR
Mrs. Wilson Gave up Hope-Gains 25 Pounds on Tanlac and Is Now a We'll
 Woman

"For two years I spent all my time either in the hospital, in bed, O. in rolling chair, and during that time l was given up to die, and l don't guess I would be here now if it hadn't been for Tanlac, y said Mrs. E. o. Wilson. Mrs. Will son is well known in Atlanta, Ga, her husband having been employed by The Constitution for number of years
 ''I was great sufferer from chronic indigestion" continued Mrs. Wilson, and don't guess anybody ever had to go through with what did. I was very weak and ner- vous, and at times had those dread full smothering sensa tions to the point of fainting. I had dreadful headaches, severe pains in my back ached all the time, For two years I had to live entirely on boiled milk, toast and sofe boiled eggs, and even that didn't digest well, and would sour on my stomach. I didn't know what it was to get a good nights sleep. l took one kind of medicine after another un- til our house was almost filled with empty bottles, but instead of i'm proving l was getting worse all the time. Finally they took me to the hospital for treatment, and lay there for five long months, but even that didn't make me well. It was taking nearly every cent of my husbands wages to pay my doc tor and drug bills--our drug bill alone amounted to $14 or $16 a month, and one doctor bill amount ed to $108.
 '1t looked liko everything had failed to help me, and I had about given up all hope when ore day my husband brought bottle of Tanlac home with him and asked me to take it. He said he had been reading and hearing a lot of good things about it and didn't see any reason why it shouldn't help me. l "ao COhIi1icu tO my iOiiih6 CiittiA when I began taking it.
 Do I look like an invalid now? I certainly don't feel like one, and l have actually gained twenty-five (25) pounds on eleven bottles of Tanlac, and feel as well as I ever did in my life. l can eat anything I want-such things as meat, tur- nips. Hard boiled eggs don't hurt me particle, and I sleep as good as I did when l was girl in my teens. I can get about as well as anybody and just the other day walked down town, and am run ming around the neighborhood call ing on my friends nearly all the time now. I haven't a pain about me. 1 believe 1 am the happiest woman in Atlanta, and I think have right to be. I think my re- covery is almost miracle, and everybody in our neighborhood thinks the same"
