THOUGHT HE WOULD
NEVER WORK AGAIN
J. W. Tomilson Says He
Had Given Up All Hope,
But Takes Tanlac and Is
Going Back to Farming
“I was so sick and played out-
I had to give up my work on the
farm and come to Birmingham a
few weeks ago to spend the rest
of my days in the Confederate
Veterans’ Home. I didn’t think
I’d ever be much good any long
er. but when I got here I got to
taking Tanlac, and, sir, you may
believe me or not, but the medi
cine made me feel so much better
and stronger that I am getting
ready to go back to my old home
in Shelby and go to farming
again.”
The above remarkable state
ment was made by J. VV. Tomil
son, age 73, of Westover, Shelby
county, Ala. Mr Tomilson is a
well known confederate Veteran
having served three years with
Brigadier General Wright. He
has lived in Shelby since the end
of the war.
‘‘l’ve been a farmer all my
life,” continued Mr. Tomilson,
and always enjoyed good health
up until last summer, when
a bad attack of grippe and fever
knocked me out, and I have’nt
been well since. My strength
left me and my health slipped
awav before I knew it. I could
not eat or sleep to amount to any
thing, was terribly nervous,
couldn't take interest in anything
and finally got to where I had to
give up work on the farm. I took
all kinds of medicine, but nothing
helped me, and I was going down
hill all the time.
”A lady in Shelby county
told me that Tanlac had helped
her wonderfully, and I promised
her when 1 left home that I would
try the medicine when I got to
Birmingham. 1 carried out my
promise and am mighty glad I
did. I bought a bottle and it help
ed me so much that when I fin
ished taking it I got another. I
have taken three bottles in all
and I tell you, it’s wonderful
what the medicine has done for
me. I feel stronger and better
than I have felt in years, eat and
sleep a plenty, am full of life and
energy and it does me good to
know that in a few days I’ll be
back on the old farm at work
again.
“I know I’m getting up in years
but I believe this Tanlac medicine
has put me on my feet and that
I am good for a good many years
longer. From what Tanlac has
done for me l’tn satisfied it’s the
best medicine in the world.”
