MRS. CHAS. PEDEN GAINS 27 POUNDS Was Twice Examined, and Each Time Told Opera tion Only Hope “I have just finished my third bottle of Tan lac and have gained twenty-seven pounds, ” was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs. Charles Peden, residing at 550 mill street, Huntsville, Ala. Mrs. Peden is one of the best known and highly respected wo men of that city, where she has made her home for a number of years. “When I commenced taking the medicine,” she continued, “I only weighed (98) pounds; now I weigh 125 pounds, and never felt better in my life. For years I have suffered with a bad form of stomach trouble, constipation and pains in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of torture and I was twice exam ined and each time I was told that I had appendicitis and that an op eration would be my only hope. I had fallen off until I only weigh ed ninety-eight pounds and was so weak I could hardly get around. “I had no appetite at all scarce ly, and what little I did eat would cause gas to form in my stomach, which gave me palpitation of the heart, sick headaches and a dizzy feeling about the head. When these spells came on me I would get awfully nervous. I worried about myself until I could rest and sleet* but little. “I had fallen off until I was al most ‘skin and bones’ and my strength and energy were slowly leaving me. I had|a dread ofthefu ture and could see nothing but the operating table and knife. I had a perfect horror of operation, but had made up my mind that it was either life or death, and prepared to submit to it. I had made all preparations for the operation and called in my sister to tell her goodbye, as I did not know 7 wheth er I would live to see her again or not. My sister begged and plead ed with me not to allow tnem to cut on me, and told me'to wait and try a good tonic for awhile. The next day, as I returned from the consultation room, I thought of what she said, and as I had heard so much about Tanlac, I decided to try it as a last resort and stop ped at Gilbert’s Drug Store and got a bottle of it. Of course, I had lost heart and had no faith in the medicine, but to please my sister I made up my mind to take it, and, oh what a happy day that was for me! “I never returned for the ope ration, but just keep taking Tan lac. Right from the start I began to feel better. The medicine seemed to take hold right at once. It had a soothing effect and in a few days I felt no pains at all. I was so happy over the wonder ful improvement in my condition that I sent for my neighbors to tell them how much better I felt. I sent and got another bottle of Tanlac, and have just finished taking my third bottle and feel like I have been made all over again into anew woman. “As I have said before, I now weigh 125 pounds and my improve ment has been so rapid that none of my clothes are big enough for me. I will have to make them all over again. 1 now have a ra venous appetite and my husband says I am simply eating him out of house and home. I have even gone back to my coffee, which I was told not to touch. Those ter rible pains in my back and head have all disappeared and I sleep like a child. lam no longer ner vous and when I get up mornings I fee) refreshed, cheerful and bright. lam now able to attend to my household duties and I feel as if I had started life all over again. My husband is highly de lighted and my recovery is the talx of the neighborhood. Ido nothing but rejoice all day long over my recovery of my health and praise Tanlac to everbody. “I feel so grateful for my es cape from the operating table and the knife, that you may publish what I have said; if you wish, tell other women suffering as I was to come and see me, I will be glad to tell them all about my case.” Tanlac is sold in Jackson exclu sively by Slaton Drug Cos. (adv) FfIOST NIPPED TOP COTTON STATES PLOW HANDLES Well the frost has come at last and has settled the top cotton question. There has been a great deal said about there being a bumper top crop of cotton, like there is always said. Now, if the rains had set in the 20th of August and continued there might have have been a top crop worth something, but when cot ton blooms after the 15th of Sep tember you needn’t look for cot ton to open worth anything after that date. And here let me say that those who live in town apd deal in cot ton and don’t know the nature of cotton growing in the field, just get in your automobile some of these bright, crisp mornings just as the sun is peeping over the eastern hills and is kissing the dew drops from theautum le ves go into any fifty acre field and you will see that your dreams are gone. You had just as well look in a last year’s bird nest for eggs as to look for a top crop this time. I have seen a good top crop of cotton one or two times in my life, but it was when the rains set in in August, after a long drouth. And so the top crop question is now settled for at least this season, and the cotton bear will have to get up some other hobby to depress the price of cotton.
