BAPTIST MINISTER
GAINS 10 POUNDS
THOUGHT MOST PATENT MEDI
CINES FAKES, BUT IS NOW
CONVINCED THAT TANLAC IS
AN EXCEPTION.
“I am an ordained Baptist minister,
and have always been greatly opposed
to patent medicines of any kind,’’ said
Rev. JM. Sims, of Atlanta, re
cently. “In fact, I have always re
garded Die 'great majority cf them as
nothing more than fakes, hat I want
r.o say to you that I believe Tanlac is
an exception to the rule, because I
’uve never taxen anything tna< help
ed me as much as this mcd’cine,
“Mrs. .S ms had not been very well
and on the recommendation of friends
I bought h,e first bottle for !, :r, but
when I lock it home shi refused to
take it. I was also very badly run
down myself and in need of a inedi

cine of some kind, and as i :y friends
had spoKvn i-o highly of T mine I de
cided to try it myself. I have oiilv
taken two bottles and have gained ten
pounds in Weight. When I weighed
with my overc. r.* on, I weignen two
hundred and fifteen pounds When 1
weighed a few weeks later on the
scales up the street without my over
coat, I weighed two hundred- and ten
pounds, which is ten pounds more
than I weighed before I began taking
it.
“I suffered principally from nerv
ous indigestion and inactive liver. My
kidneys also gave me a great deal
of trouble. I would lay awake for
hours at night as I was so nervous 1
could get no rest or sleep—in fact,
I was so run down I was almost a
nervous wreck. I was not myself at
all and was losing weight and strength
rapidly. My digestion was so badly
impaired I had to avoid sweets of all
kinds, as much as I loved them. Fre
quently after eating I would suffer
for hours with heartburn and other
forms of indigestion.
“Tanlac seems to have corrected
these troubles entirely. 1 have been
entirely relieved of indigestion and
can now eat anything with impunity.
I can even eat honey without suffer
ing any ill effects whatsoever.
“As I told you before, I used to
suffer a great deal with my kidneys
and would have to get up at all hours
of the night. 1 can now go to bed
and get a good night’s rest, and never
wake up until morning. I get up
feelir. rested and refreshed and ready
for my work.
“Yes, indeed, Tanlac is a wonderful
medicine. There is no doubt about
it. I heartily recommend it for what
it has done for me.’
Rev. Sims’ son was also present at
the time he made this remarkable
statement, and was so favorably im
pressed with what his father had to
say regarding Tanlac that he at once
decided to get it for his wife.
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Doug
las by the Union Pharmacy; in Willa
coochee by Quillian’s Pharmacy; in
Nicholls by the Johnson Pharmacy;
in Pearson by Dr-;. Joe and C. W. Cor
