Charleston, wife of J. It. Johnson, the well-known engineer on tho Seaboard Air Line Railroad, after having received medical advice in Virginia*, North Carolina and Ten nessee at different intervals since she was Hf teen years of age to the effect that she was suffering from ulcerated stomach and gall stone, gives a vivid illustration of what Tanbie is daily accomplishing for like sufferers. She had stomach trouble all her life, was prone to tits of vomiting and was absolutely lacking in appetite. Aller taking only two doses of Tan lac, she declares, she ate the Ilrst food that she had eaten in sixteen weeks. "1 suffered from stomach trouble all my life," states Mrs. Johnson. When I was two years old I was given up by my physicians to die, and again when I was fifteen years old. I have had, according lo eminent medical advice in Virginia. North Carolina and Tennessee, gall stone and ulcerated stomach, and they finally said an obstruction in my sto mach. On consulting medical advice in Charleston, I was informed that it was impossible to state just what the trouble was. "My most distressing symptom was vomiting. For sixteen weeks be fore I took Tanbie I had been una ble to retain anything on my sto mach- not even medicine or raw eggs. I was told that I would have died for lack ol' nourishment If I had not been so stout. I weighed 227 pounds before I took sick, and I have really lived on superfluous flesh for bodily nourishment. My husband had given up nil hope. Ono evening recently 1 remarked how badly and emaciated I looked. Mr. Johnson burst out crying, and said, 'Lucy, don't say that. Just think! One month ago I thought you would die. I had given up all hope, and here yon tire nearly well.' "lt is true. I have taken a little over three bottles of Tnnlac. After laking only two doses-now, don't laugh; lt ls a fact-after I had taken two doses I ate tho first food I had eaten in sixteen weeks. 1 consider that wonderful indeed. I am now eating nearly everything I want. I havo not vomited since I took my fooond dose of Tanlac and I am feel ing miich stronger. "I certainly do recommend Tanlac for what ls has done for mo. I had nearly given up hopo, and Tanlac has done what T didn't think any medi cine or physician could do. It ls sim ply wonderful. I ctnnot say enough good things about it."
