FREE REGAINED h a HEALTH IN ALMOST MIRACU- b LOUS MANNER BY TAK- s< ING TANLAC. 5 r * IV I d A home made happy, a life given f renewed strength and relief from t suffering which had continued six s years and which had reduced her ! health almost to that of an invalid? i that is the result of Mrs. D. G. Free's e; taking Tanlac,. the master medicine, ? according to the statement given by d her husband, who is proprietor of a the D. G. Free Furniture Co., of 1430 a 1 Assembly St., Columbia. "I have a spent at least $1,000 to secure relief ? s for her, but Tanlac is the only medi ' cine which has given her relief," he b declared. a "I sometimes believe Tanlac is the medicine the Lord sent her," added the grateful husband. "I shall al- ^ ways be glad to recommend Tanlac y " for it is a wonderful medicine. I " intend sending my mother several a - bottles for she needs it. } "My wife suffered terribly with in- ? * digestion and for six years she was e " supposed to be threatened with drop- s sy of the stomach, which caused ? her constantly increasing suffering. 11 She had no appetite, and was con- j> fined to her bed the greater part of ^ . the time. She employed servants t] e to do all her housework. When she c / began taking Tanlac, Mrs. Free was tl 1 a physical wreck, and seemed steadily S t becoming worse, despite all that medical science seemed able to do tl for her. I was spending an average a of fifty dollars per month for medical tl services for her. r "We had finally come to the con- t e elusion that her case was beyond re- tl 3 lief. I was in a desperate frame of E mind. Seeing Tanlac so extensively P recommended for stomach troubles, ii she decided to try it and the immediate result was wonderful. E 2 "After she had taken two bottles, t the servants were discharged, and s Mrs. Free began doing her housei work, something she had not done in L - years Her appetite is good now, 3 and she eats anything she wants. She is regaining weight rapidly, and her 1 pallor has been replaced by a rosy color. She bears little resemblance B to herself as she was a month ago, j and she is in fine spirits. h B "It is almost unbelievable that any v 2 medicine could bring such wonderful { g results, but Tanlac has done so in ]y 0 the case of Mrs. Free, and is can not i, be praised too highly.* She is now q taking her third bottle." Commenting on this endorsement, 1 ? _ 1 7 li EVERY! r % i You'll need new clothes before you T r r know it and then you'll want them in a hurry! How much better to i order now and give plenty of time to I make them right. Made to your i measure exactly as specified by you, 1 $12.50 and up. :S: IVV/ w W. Galyon, state agent for Tanic, said: "Such statements as this, elling of marvelous relief brought y Tanlac, should convince the } houghtful of the medicine's merits, i 'anlac, which is a combatant of dis- i rders, a tonic, appetizer, and in- 1 igorant, is what hundreds of ailing i ersons need. It seems to build up > tie entire system, and creates a ealthy appetite, promotes digestion nd assimilation of food, vitalizes the lood and brings back good health." Tanlac, the master medicine, is t >ld by P. B. Speed, Abbeville; J. H. { iell & Son, Due West; J. T. Black, j lalhoun Falls; E. A. Fuller & Co., [cCormick; Cooley & Spear, Lownesville.?Adv.
