I ^ 4 How Tanlac had driven away all , signs of pellagra, which her mother ] had so badly that the bones of her hands showed through the sores, and 1 how the same medicine had given her great relief for different troubles, s was described in a very remarkable ] endorsement of Tanlac, given by Mrs. Belle Hopper, of No. 9 Drayton Ave., Drayton, S. C., a suburb of Spartanburg. ^ "I suffered from headaches and felt very badly," declared Mrs. #Hopper, in her statement. "My system was . in a badly run down condition and I was very weak. Tanlac had helped my mother so much that I decided to take it, and the Tanlac gave me a greeat^ppetite and 1 began to want to work all the time, though I had been too weak to work. The medicine got me in good shape in every way. "My mother, whose home is at Chesnee, S. C., suffered from a very I b^ifl (?f npllftflpro on/I oK? V?o.l iyl-.. ? ^ * ?

Her system was in a very much run down condition, and her hands 1 and face and feet were a solid mass 1 of sores. She had no appetite at ull and she had lost a lot of weight. "Really, my mother was in a ter- ' rible condition. The doctors told her she had the worst case they ever saw, 1 and the bones of her hands showed ' through the sores. She had taken a ' lot of medicine?almost every kind 1 of tonic she ever heard of?and had 1 several doctors, but she says Tanlac 1 did her more good than all of the 1 other medicine she took. 1 "The Tanlac really guve my mother * wonderful relief. The sores left her and huve not come back, though before she took Tanlac we thought she would never get over this disease. She was in an awful condition, really, but she looks like another woman now and it is all due to Tanlac. "She has a good appetite now and has gained a lot of weight. She gained three pounds on the first bottle. We have never seen anything like it. It is hard to believe any medicine could do as much, but Tanlac sure did give her the most wonderful relief. "I am glad to recommend Tanalc because it just broke up the case of pellagra my mother had?at least, the seres were driven away and have not come back?and because it proved in my case a remarkably good medicine, i My mother has not a single symptom of pellagra now, so far as I can tell."
