THIS WOMAN GAINS 33 IBS. ON TANLAC Mrs. Morrison Now Well and Happy After an Ill ness of Three Years’ Standing The phone rang at Morris’ drug store in Enslev. Alabama, recent ly, and when Mr. Allison, of the firm, answered, this is the mes sage he received: “This is Mrs. J. D. Morrison at 1403 Avenue F. Ensley, and I want you to ask one of the Tanlac Company’s men to come to see me, fori want everybody to know what this medicine has done for me.” That same afternoon the local Tanlac representative called to see Mrs. Morrison at her home, when she made the following remarkable statement: “Three years ago I lost my. health, and have been sick ever since. I had chronic stomach trouble of the worst kind and just seemed to go into a general decline. Nobody but people who have had this awful trouble know how I have suffered. “I tried doctors. I tried medi cine and tried everything, but nothing seemed to help me a par ticle. I tried dieting and lived on liquid foods, raw eggs and things like that until I almost starved, but even that failed to relieve my trouble. “1 lost all the strength I had and was a nervous wreck. I nev er knew what it was to get a good night’s sleep and was ner vous, feverish and restless most ofy the time. I also suffered dreadfullv from biliousness and constipation, and was never free from pain night or day. “The 26th of last March I was taken to the hospital and opera ted on for what was supposed to be female trouble, and when I left the hospital I was nothing but a living skeleton and only weighed 66 pounds. That is the truth, and everybody who knows me will tell you it is a fact. The operation didn’t do me any good as far as restoring my health was concerned. If anything, I got worse and it just looked like I was going to die. “Finally I was told that my trouble was Tuberculosis of the bowels and that I had better stay out in the fresh air all I could, as nothing else could be done for me. “About that time I began hear ing a lot of talk about the new medicine. Tanlac, and read a great deal in the papers what dif ferent people had to say about it. Something just seemed to tell me it was what I needed, although the doctor didn’t think so, but I told him I was going to try it any way. as they had already said they could do nothing more for me. “The first bottle didn’t do me much good as far as I could tell, but that didn’t dishearten me, for I knew it would take time in my case, so I got the second bot tle and began improving right away. , * ‘After this I commenced eating and mv appetite increased every day. By the time I had taken three bottles I was able to eat whatever I liked and gained flesh and strength right along. “My nerves got settled and I got so 1 could sleep at night. Why, on the fourth bottle alone I gained 7 pounds and the other day I actually weighed 99 pounds MR. J. W. LEACH CLAIMED BY DEATH Friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Leach and family sympathize with them in the death of Mr. Leach’s father, Mr. John Wesley Leach, who died at his home, 89 Clifton avenue, Atlanta, Sunday morning. He had been in feeble health for several months and his death did not occasion surprise, though it came as a painful shock to members of the family. Mr. Leach, who had attained the age of 78 years, was a Confederate veteran and a member of the Methodist church. He was a highly esteemed citizen and for merly resided in Griffin. The funeral took place at Mt. Zion camp ground, near Griffin Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock, and was largely attended. The surviving relatives are his wife, three sons, Messrs. J. R. and F.

I even do the washing and nothing seems to hurt me. Honestly, this Tanlac beats anything I ever saw in my life, and I would not give one bot tle of it for all the other medi cines in Ensley and Birmingham put together. “I have just returned from a visit to my old home near Ala bama City, and it is an honest fact that my own sisters did not know me at first. All around here my neighbors are wondering what on earth I have found to put me on feet again, for they had given me up to die months age. “Never as long as I live will I be without a bottle of Tanlac in my house, because I owe my life to this medicine.” Tanlac is sold bv Slaton Drug Cos., in Jackson, and Dr. A.
