MRS. CHAS. PEDEN
GAINS II POUNDS
Was Twice Examined And Each Time
Told Operation Would Be
Her Only Hope


q 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 ST., Hunts
vile, Alabama. Mrs. Peden is one of
the best known and most highly re-
Spected women of that city where she
has made her home for a number of
years.
when | commenced taking the medi-
cine" she continueud, 81 only weighed
niney-eight (9S) pounds; now l weigh
one hundred twenty-five pounds and
never felt better in my life. For years
I have suffered 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 |
was twice examined and each time told
that an operation would be my only
hope. l had fallen off until l only
weighed ninety-eight pounds and was
so weak l could hardly get around
q had no appetite scarcely at ALL
and what little l did eat would cause
gas to form in my stomach which gave
me palpitation of the heart, sick head
aches and a dizzy feeling about the
head When those spells came on me,
I would get awfully nervous. l wor-
red about myself until | could rest
and sleep but little
81 had fallen off until I was almost
Skin and bones and my strength and
energy were slowly leaving me. l had
a dread of the future and could see
nothing but the operating table and
the knife. l 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. l had
made all preparations for the operation
and called on my sister to tell her
goodbye, as l did not know whether |
would live to see her again or not.
NV sister begged and pleaded 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 l re-
turned from the consultation room l
thought of what she said, and as l had
heard so much about fanlac | decided
to try it as last resort, and stopped at
the drug store and got a bottle. VI
course, l had lost heart and had no
faith in medicine, but to please my sis
ter, made up my mind to take it, and
oh, what a happy day that was for me!
II 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 has a soothing effect,
and in few days felt no pain at all.
| was so happy over my wonderful I'M
provement that l sent for my neigh
bors to tell them how much better
felt. l sent and got another bottle oil
Tanlac and have just finished my third
and feel like l have been made over
again into new woman.
"As l have said before, l now weigh
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 a ravenous appe-
tite and my husband says l am simply
eating him out of house and home.
have even gone back to my coffee which
I was told not to touch. Those horrible
pains in my back and head have all
disappeared and 1 sleep like a child.
i am no longer nervous, and when |
get up in the mornings l feel refreshed,
cheerful and bright. l am now able
to attend to my homework again and
feel as if I had started life all over
My husband is highly delighted and
my recovery is the talk of the neighbor-
hood. l do nothing but rejoice all day
long over the recovery of my health
and praise Tanlac to everybody
II feel so grateful for my escape from
the operating table and the knife that
you may publish what I have said;
you may if you wish, tell other women
suffering as I was to come and see me
and will be glad to tell them about
my case"
Tanlac is sold in Middlebury at
