Now BACK OX REGULAR RUN SAYS TAKI.AC IS ONLY REMEDY EVER HELPING HIM. ''My name is J. B. Watson and my home is in Mobile, Ala. I am thirty-three years old and by pro fession am a railroad engineer- I have a regular ran on the work train between Selma and Mobile. "Up to onlv a few months ago that ip, np to the time I started tak ing Tanlac-my health was - broken down completely. When I com menced taking Tanlac I only weigh ed one hundred and three pounds and had not been able to work for fifteen months. Now, after taking only three and a half bottles of Tan lac, I weigh one hundred and seven ty-one pounds and have actually gained sixty-eight pounds and never felt better in my life. "I suffered for several years with the worst kind of stomach trouble and constipation. I kept dropping down in weight and losing strength, and finally I broke down complete ly. I had several attacks of what was called annte poisoning of the stomach and nobody khows how I suffered. ''I took treatment at the Marine Hospital at Algiers, La., and at Tulane Hospital, New Orleans. I also took treatment at Hot Springs, Ark., and at Lookout Mountain. To tell ;, ou the truth, I tried everything T could think: of and spent hundreds of dollars, but I just kept going down hill, and for fifteen whole months I was unable to run my en gine or to do any other kind of work. "Of course, I was awfully dis couraged about myself, as I could see but little hope of ever beine well agaiu. While I ?vas sick and unable to work, a brakeman gave me a bottle of Tanlac. I took it and began to feel better right away.' My stomach felt better and I got so I could eat and enjoy my meals. "When this was gone I bought another bottle, and after finishing it I felt so much better I went back to work on a switch engine. I could just feel myself gaining in weight and getting stronger every day, and after taking my second bottle I went back to running an engine on the main line. "Now, since taking three and one-half bottles of Tanlac, I am Economy made from alum or Dught for a trifle less owder, which is made , derived from grapes. e not only cheap, but eavening power. powder is used for a ie turns out a failure DStly materials worth an of the cheap bak )wder produces the e therefore, results in r POWDER CO. ^ork working regular, running a work train between Mobile and Selma, the swampiest country in this sec tion of the State. "Now, what I have told you is the truth, and hundreds of people who know rae and know how I looked before I took Tanlac will tell you the same thing. Another thing, you can see from my picture, which I bad taken while I was sick, how much stronger and healthier I look now than I did then. They can say what they please about Tanlac and patent medicines, but I can truthfully say that Tan lac is the only medicine that ever did me any good and I want every body to know about it. If people do not believe you. just tell them to come and look at me now and then look at my pictuie, which was taken while I was sick. I will show them mighty quick what Tanlac has done for rae."
