MRS, GASON KAD NO HOPE
OF RETURNING ALIVE
Went to Atlanta Six Weeks Ago
Propped Up on Pillows Takes
Tanlac and Gains 35 Pounds
About ten days ago J. B. Bat
tle went into Jacob’s Pharmacy
at Atlanta to get a bottle of Tan
lac for his sister-in-law, Mrs. O.
C. Cason who liveg some distance
out, near Acworth. \While mak
ing the purchase, Mr. Battle told
of the wonderful improvement in
Mrs. Acworth’s condition since
she began using the medicine
about six weeks ago. :
He also made the statement
that Mrs. Cason felt so grateful
for the wonderful benefit she had
received that she wanted to make
a public statement, as she felt
it her duty to tell the whole world
about Tanlac. He then suggest
ed that Dr. Elder, the Tanlac rep
resentative at Jacobs’, call at his
residence for a personal inter
view.
When Dr. Elder called at Mr.
Battle’s residence on English ave
nue, the following morning, it
happened that Mr. Battle met
him at the door and very cordial
ly invited him into his living
room. Mrs. Cason, who was
bright and happy, soon made her
appearance and began with de
light to tell of the wonderful re
covery of her health, and her
statement will go down in history
as being one of the most remark
able ever given a proprictary
medicine. Here is tier story in
her own words.
“About six weeks ago 1 left
my home on our farm near Ac
worth, Ga,, to come to my sister’s
here in Atlanta, and 1 left with
only a shadow of hope of ever re
turning alive to my home and
husbhand. . J
“I left Acworth,” she continued
“in a comfortable automobile,
propped up on pillows, coming
through the country. 1 had al
most as much medicine as 1 had
baggage—a big box full of all
kinds of medicines that had been
prescribed for me. 1 reached here
very weak and exhausted and
with scarcely enough strength to
walk to the door. This trouble,
from which I had suffered so long
had reduced me to almost a shad
ow, as I only weighed 60 pounds.
“My brother-in-law, Mr. Bat
tle, said: “Well, you have tried
everything else with no relief,
now I want you to lay aside your
‘drug shop’ and take Tanlac.’ Of
course 1 was willing to try it, for
the medicine is the talk of the
whole country. Well, he got it
for me and I started on my first
botttle that day.
“When I had taken about half
of the first bottle I began to feel
stronger and encouraged. 1 con
tinued to take it and it is nothing
short of marvelous how I improv
ed day by day. 1 felt myself fur
ther and further from the grave.
My appetite returned and v
food seemed to nourish me asd
agree with me. My skin and com
plexion began clearing up anfl L
improved in every way possible
until I am now a well woman, and
when I say well, I mean absolute
ly what I say. I want to tell the
whole world that I thank God for
Tanlac.
“I weigh 95 pounds now and
feel as well as I ever felt in my
life. lam going back to my hus
band and home on tae little farm
five miles from Acworth tomor
row, and, won't it be a joyful
meeting, returning to my hus
band and home absolutely well
and happy—and won't 1 tell ev
erybody about what Tanlac has
done for me?”
“Yes, it's just like she says,”
chimed in Mr. Battle about this
time. ‘“Tanlac has simply robbed
the grave, and if you could have
seen her when she started on this
medicine, you would say the
same thing.
“1 didn’t know at the time just
what her trouble was, but the
doctorg said she had Pellagra.
She may have had it for all [
know, but there is one thing cer
tain, she hasn’t got it now, or at
least you wouldn'’t think so if you
could watch her eat. I told her,
jokingly, the other day, that she
was eating me out of house and
home. I don't guess there ever
was a case like hers, and there is
one thing certain, you can count
on us telling everybody about it,
because I fully believe she owes
her life to this medicine today.”

More than this, there is also a secret
