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.” Tanlac is sold bv Slaton Drug Cos., in Jackson, and Dr. A. F. White in Flovilla, Moore & Cos., at Cork, J.
