HAS NO MORE NEED FOR CRUTCHES NOW P. G. Hooks Spent $2,000 Trying to Restore His Wife’s Health —Gains 16 Pounds on Tanlac. Another wonderful indorse ment for Tanlac that will be read with interest by thousands of frail, suffering women through out the south was given recently by Mrs. Elizabeth Hooks, of Rome, Ga. Mrs. Hooks is the wife of P. C. Hooks* a well known Southern railway engi neer. Mrs. Hooks made the re markable statement that she had received more benefit from four bottles of Tanlac than from med ical treatment that had cost her husband $2,000, which he had paid out in the past two years in an effort to restore her health. “For about two years,” said Mrs. Hooks, “I have been in very bad health and have suffer ed from stomach trouble, extreme nervousness and a bad form of rheumatism. For more than seven months I was confined to my bed and was almost a ner vous and physical wreck. My di gestion was so poor I had to diet myself and rarely ate anything but soft boiled eggs and milk and things of that kind, and even the lightest of foods would nauseate me and lay heavily on my stomach. “Any sudden noise would af fect my nerves, and my husband had to quit setting the alarm clock and the door to my room had to be kept closed so I could not hear the ringing of the tele phone. I have had the rheuma tism in my left hip and shoulders so bad I could hardly bear any thing to touch me. “My condition became so bad, my husband took me to Hot Springs, Ark., where I remained for a month. I had to use crutches all the time. The treat ment there helped me for a while, and I returned home. I soon re lapsed into my old condition, and then I was taken to a specialist in Atlanta. “I had fallen off from one hndred and twenty pounds until I only weighed eighty-nine pounds—just a shadow of my former self. “The specialist prescribed a course of treatment, but before using the medicine I decided to give Tanlac a trial. I did this because of what I had read of Mr. Cooper’s new medicine and because my husband had heard so many railroad men recom mend it. “That w'as the best resolution of my life. I am now on my fourth bottle and feel better than at any time since I became ill. I can now eat anything I want, and my food agrees with me— besides, everything I eat tastes good and I enjoy my meals. “I have set my crutches aside and actually feel so much better I told my husband a few days ago I belived I would turn off the cook, but he insisted that I wait awhile. “I now weigh one hundred and five pounds, which is a gain of sixteen pounds, and am improv ing right along every day. Be fore taking Tanlac I was so weak and frail I was greatly dis couraged and could not persuade myself to believe that I would ever be able to enjoy another well day. But I don’t feel that way now. lam not nervous like I was, and I can see and feel a great improvement. I sleep bet ter and my strength is returning rapidly.” Tanlac is sold in Mt. Vernon exclusively by Mt. Vernon Drug Co.; in Tarrytown by J. J. Frost, successor to C. W. War nock; in Ailey by Palmer Drug Co.; in Uvalda by W. M. Moses; in Alston by The Martin Drug Store; in Soperton by J. J. Mor ing; in Sharpe’s Spur by J. M. Smith, M. D. adv. GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS FEBRUARY ADJOURNED TERM. A.
