off until / only weighed ninety-eight
pounds and was so weak | could hard
ly get around.
81 had no appetite scarcely at all,
and what little | did eat would cause
gas to form in my stomach which
gave me palpitation of the heart, sick
headaches and dizzy feeling about
the head. When those spells came on
me, | would get awfully nervous. !
worried about myself until | 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. | had
a dread of the future and could see
nothing but the operating table and
the knife | 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, | had
made all preparations for the opera
ton and called on 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
good tonic for a while. The next day
as | returned from the consultation
room | thought of what she said, and
as | had heard so much about Tanlac
| decided to try it as last resort,
and stopped at the drug store and
got a bottle. OF course, | had lost
heart and had no faith in medicine,
but to please my sister. | made up
my mind to take it. and oh, what
happy day that was for me!
Il 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 take hold right at
once 1t had soothing effect and i'll

so happy over my wonderful improve

tell them how much better | felt. |

one hundred twenty-five pounds and
none of my clothes are big enough
for me, and | will have to make them
over again. | now have a ravenous
appetite and my husband says / am
simply eating him out of house and
home. | have even gone back to my
coffee which | was told not to touch.
Those horrible pains in my back and
head have all disappeared and | sleep
