MRS. CHAS. PEDEN
GAINS 27 POUNDS
WAS TWICE EXAMINED AND EACH
TIME TOLD OPERATION WOULD
BE HER ONLY HOPE
"I hav«> just finished my third bottle
of Tanlac and have gained twenty
sevon pounds." was the truly remark
able statement made by Mrs. Chas.
I’eden. residing at 650 Mill St.. Hunts
ville. Alabama. Mrs. Peden Is one
ol' ihe best known and most highly re
spected women of that city where she
has made her home for a number of
"When I commenced taking the
medicine. ” she continued, “I only j
weighed ninety-eight (98) pounds: now I
I weigh one hundred twenty-five i
pounds and never felt better in my life, j
Kor years [ have suffered with a bad
form of stomach trouble, constipation 1
and pains in my side and back. At
times the pains took the form of tor- i
ture and 1 was twice examined and
each time told that an operation would
be my only hope. I had fallen ofT
until I only weighed ninety-eight
pounds and was so weak I could hardly I
get around.
"I had no appetite scarcely at all.
and what little I did eat would cause
me palpitation of the heart, sick head
aches and a dizzy feeling about the
head. When those spells came on me.
I would get awfully nervous. I ww
rie»J about myself until I could rest
and sleep hut little.
"I had fallen off until 1 was almost
'skin and bones’ and my strength and
energy were slowly leaving me. I
had a dread of the future and could
sco nothing hut the operating table and
the knife. I had a perfect horror of
an operation, but had made up my
mind that it was either life or death
and prepared to submit to it. I had
made all preparations for the opera
tion and called on my sister to tell tier
goodbye, as 1 did not know whether 1
would live to see her ngai^ or not.
My sister begged and pleaded with me
not to allow them to cut on me and
told me to wait and try a good tonic
for a while. The next day as 1 re
tnrrtfcrt from the consultation room I
thought of what she said, and as I had
heard so much about Tanlac, 1 decided
to try it as a last resort, and slopped
at the drug store and got a bottle,
of course. I had lost heart and had no
faith In medicine, but to please my
sister. 1 made up my mind to take it.
and oh. what a happy day that was
"I n<*ver returned for the operation,
hut just kept taking Tanlac and my
improvement has been so rapid that
none of my clothes fit me. Right
from the start I began to improve.
The medicine seemed to take hold
right at once. It had a soothing ef
fect. and in a few days I felt no pain
at all. I was so happy over my won
derful improvement that I sent for my
neighbors to tell them how much bet
ter I felt. I sent and got another bot
tle of Tanlac and have just finished my
third and feel like I have been made
over again into a new woman.
"As I have said before, I now weigh
one hundred and twenty-five pounds
and none of my clothes are big enough
for me, and I will have to make them
over again. I now have a ravenous
appetite and my husband says I am
simply eating him out of house and
home. I have even gone back to my
coffee which T was told not to touch.
These horrible pains in my back, and
head have all disappeared and I sleep
like a child. I am no longer nervous,
and when I get up in the mornings f
feel refreshed, cheerful and bright, f
am now able to attend to my house
work again and I feel ns if I had start
ed life all over. My husband is high
ly delighted and my recovery is the
talk of the neighborhood. I do noth
ing but rejoice all day long over the
recovery of my health and praise Tan
lac to everybody.
“I feel so grateful for my escape
from the operating table and the knife
that you may publish what I have said:
you may if you wish, tell other women
suffering as I was to come and see ma
