MRS. CHAS. PEDEN
GAINS 81 POUNDS
Was Twice Examined and Ech Time
Told Operation Would Be
Her Only Hope.

81 have just finished my third bottle
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, Alabama. Mrs. Peden is
one of the best known and most highly
respected women of that thriving lit
tie city where she has made her home
for a number of years.
when I commenced taking the
medicine" she continued, 81 only
weighed ninety-eight (o8) pounds;
now weigh one hundred twenty-five
pounds and never felt better in my
life. For years | have suffered with
a bad form of stomach trouble, con-
stipation and pains in my side and
back. At times the pains took the
form of torture and l was twice ex-
amined and each time told that an
operation would be my only hope |
had fallen off until | only weighed
ninety-eight pounds and was so weak
] could hardly get around.
II had no appetite scarcely at all,
and what little I did eat would cause
gas to form on my stomach which
gave me palpitation of the heart, sick
headaches and a dizzy feeling about
the head. When those spells came on
me, I would get awfully nervous. I
worried about myself until I could
not rest and sleep but little.
II had fallen off until / was almost
skin and bones and my strength and
energy were slowly leaving me. l
had 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. 1 had
made all preparations for the opera
ton and called on my sister to tell
her goodbye, as I 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 good
tonic for a while. The next day as
returned from the consultation room
I thought of what she said, and as
had heard so much about Tanlac, I
decided to try it as last resort, and
stopped at the drug store and got a
bottle. OF course, l had lost heart
and had no faith in medicine, but to
please my sister, l made up my mind
to take it, and oh, what happy day
that was for mel
81 never returned for the operation
but just kept taking Tanlac and my
improvement has been so rapid that
none of my clothes fit me. Right from
the start began to improve. The
medicine seemed to talks hold right at
once. 1t had a soothing effect, and
in few days I felt no pain at all. I
was so happy over my wonderful i'm
provement that | sent for my neigh
bors to tell them how much better |
felt l sent and got another bottle
of Tanlac and have just finished my
third and feel like have been made all
over again into a new woman.
one hundred twenty-five pounds and
none OF my clothes are big enough for
me, and l will have to make them
over again. / now have ravenous
appetite and my husband says I am
simply eating him out of house and
home. l have even gone back to my
coffee which l was told not to touch.
Those horrible pains in my back and
head have all disappeared and l sleep
like a child. l am no longer nervous,
and when get up in the mornings l
feel refreshed, cheerful and bright.
am now able to attend to my house
work again and I feel as if I had
started life all over. My husband is
highly delighted and my recovery is
the talk of the neighborhood l do
nothing but rejoice all day long over
the recovery of my health and praise
Tanlac to everybody.
81 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 wish, tell other women
suffering as | was to come and see me
and / will be glad to tell them about
my case"
