He is a needy son of Decatur and com petent to fill the job. What is probably the most re markable indorsement ever given z proprietary medicine was the statement made recently by H. J. Williams, a coal miner at the Tennessee Coal & Iron Co., mine No. 8, near Fairfield, Ala, in the Birmingham district. The story of his wonderful restoration to health was told in his own words, and is profoundly intresting. His statement fol lows: “I am 54 years of age, and am the father of sixteen children, eight living and eight dead. I came to Birmingham from East Tennesssee, and have followed mining for a good many years. “About two years ago I took sick. The doctors at first said I had Tapeworm, then Hook worm, and finally decided it was Pellagra. I took treatment from a well known Alabama Pellagra ‘Cure’, but got no benefit. The doctors finally told me they couldn’t do me any good, and I quit going to see them. ’’I suffered from a sort of a dumb freeling in my back all the time, and was d:zzy-headed. 1 couldn’t stoop over, or stand on my feet for any lenght of time, and cculdn’t hardly eat anything and nothing tasted good. In fact, I was slowly starving to death. “Ilost all of my strength, and fell of 45 pounds in weight, when I was well I weighed 133 pounds and I got down to onlv where I weighed 90 pounds, and was almost a walking skeleton. “1 finally decided that there was no more hope for me in this life, and I gave my ring to my wife and told her to put the children in the Odd Fellows Home when I died. “This is just the shape I was in when, one day, my little daughter said: Papa, why don’t you try the new medicince every body is talking about? It has helped so many people, it might help you.’ Of course I had no faith in anything, but just to please the family, 1 made one more trial and got the Tanlac. May the the good Lord bless the day I got this medicine, for it was my salvation. “I got relief from the first bottle, and I began to eat and and pick up right from the start. I am now on my fifth bottle, and have actually gained back 25 pounds, and now weigh 115. It just looked like the more I took the better I got, and I keep on picking up every day. “1 went over to the mines yesterday and made arange- ments to go back to work. I am strong enough to walk around wherever I want to go, some thing I have not been able to do for over a year, and that is a fact. Tanlac ‘mighty nigh’ rais ed from the dead, that’s what it done for me. If you don’t believe what I have told you just ask any of the men around mine No. 8. and they will all tell you the fix I was in, and how much better off I am now. "Thank God 1 will soon be able to earn a living for my tamily, and I owe it all to this medicine Tanlac I have just written to a daughter of mine in LaFollette, Tenn., who needs a medicine lik? this, and I want her to take it and get well. “I don’t believe now I ever had Pellagra, because I never did have any breaking out of any kind. I don’t believe now I have ever had Hookworms, either, but whatever it was, this Tanlac has certainly fixed me I don’t reckon there ever Tanlac, I will Jways bless the day I bought this medicine.” Tanlac is sold by leading druggist in principal cities throughout the south. Tanlac is sold in Bainbridge exclusively by WiHis Drug Co., and in Donalsonville by the Pal ace Drug Co., and Climax by the Climax Pharmacy. FRANCIS WILL STAGE . IN TROY, ALA.
