Wheu she began taking Tanlac, she said, she was almost an invalid but now weighs thirty-two pounds more and con siders her health perfect, and her statement follows: "I suffered from a terribly run down condition and I became so weak I could not even wash dishes and I could not sit up more than an hour or two at a time. I had no appetite, and I had forgotten how it felt to want to eat. Every thing I ate hurt me, and I suffered from an awful burning in my stom ach. I lost flesh until I looked as if I would almost fall to pieces. "Seven different doctors had treated me and my papa took me to everyone I thought could help me, but if any of them did meany good I could not tell it, and the last time I came home from a trip to see a doctor I was so weak I could not hardly get up the steps. "It was in January last year that I began to fail in health, and in a month I was in such bad shape I could not do anything, and I was in bed the greater part of the time from February to September last year, and when I began taking Tanlac I only weighed ninety pounds. "Tanlac was recommended to me and I finally began taking it. I Btarted taking Tanlac in the sum mer and I took about fifteen bottles before I stopped. I gained about thirty-two pounds by taking Tan lac, and 1 weigh about 125 pounds now and am still gaining in weight. Really, I am about thirty five pounds heavier "now than when I began taking Tanlac. I am in good health- and I feel just as well as 1 did when I stopped tak ing Tanlac, and the benefit Tanlao gave me is lasting. I am heavier now than I ever been before. "I never have stomach trouble now. I have a fine appetite and I feel well all the time. I work reg ularly in the Beaumont Mill now, and just a few months ago I had begun to wonder if there was any thing that would give me back my health and strength. Before I started taking: Tanlac I sometimes feared my troubles might kill rae, but I was back at work by Septem ber.
