"I had been educated to scorn pro

OF WONDERFUL RESULT
T. F. DARBY GAINS 20
POUNDS ON SIX BOTTLES
OF TANLAC
AGONY WAS AWFUL
Soys Milk Nor Water Would Stay
on Stomach Long Enough to
Get Warm.
"I have gained twenty (20) pounds
in we?ght and have relieved an ali
ment with which I Buffered for almost
a year and which had baffled the lead
ing physicians in a number of cities.
Tbnt is what just six bottles of Tan
lac, the medicino you call the master
medicine, lias done for me."
The speaker of this more than re
markable statement was T. F. Darby,
an automobile mechanic employed by
Thc Central Garage, Anderson, who
resides at 127 North McDuffle St. Mr.
Darby was for a year foreman of the
Gibbes Machinery Co., of . Columbia,
ono of the largest firms of the kind in
the Soi".:-, but, he explained, ill health
forced i m removal from Columbia In
search of a satisfactory chango in cli
mate. But, it was not the climate,
he found, that caused his Buffering.
Regarding MB suffering and the re
lief Tanlac quickly gave him, Mr.
Darby said: *
"I sufiered with nervous "indigestion
for almost a year. I lost a great deal
of weight, my stomach left me, and I
got to where I could not work. I
would suffer awful agony after eat
ing, and neither sweet milk nor water
weald stay on- my atomach long
enough to get warm. I would get BO
nervous I could not control myself.
I'll tell you the truth, I was in an
awful condition.
"One lime at Atlanta, where I bad
been to consult a specialist, I got on
a train and when I realized where I
was I was at Gainesville. I had beon
suffering so I had lost interest in ev
erything. My wife got to where she
wQB afraid for me to come up town
by myself, for fear -I could not get
home if one of those attacks hit me,
which came every time I ate anything.
"My heart began to go bad under
the strain. One night it felt as if it
would burst and I perspired so I felt
as If I had been rained on. I tried
every way and everything I knew of
or waB told of to get relief, but fail
ed. But, duw? at Columbia one day
a friend of mine told me to take Tan
lac. I bought a bottle.
"Six bottles banished every bit of
that nervous indigestion. I gained
twenty pounds while taking it, and
am in Ano shape now. I can eat a
hearty meal, without suffering after
wards. I am strong, lively and happy,
and my nerves are in fine condition.
My kidneys, which gave me a great
deal of trouble, are In good condition
now, thanks to aTnlac. I can't get
enough to eat, and have to fight
against eating too much. I sure can
recommend Tani?c. It ls a wonderful
medicine."

Tanlac gained instant favor in

Regarding the great and Increasing

Father of Anderson Worn
Dead 200 Times-Af?
Mrs. Mary Kernels Re
Tanlac.
Tb'J scene, as pictured, was one
to stir the soul to its depths with
commingled sorrow and-pity.
Tho mother, father, husband and
children and several neighbors anx
iously gathered around tho sufferer,
whose agony apparently was beyond
understanding or description. The
suffering mother, her usually sweet
and handsome face drawn and ghasT
ly, was writhing in the throes of
agony that amounted almost to con
vulsions. The doctors had been call
ed, but had not arrived. They had
called many times before, anl had
said these otten repeated attack?
were due to a stomach trouble. Dui
their knowledge and skill were in
competent to combat this working of
Nature.
This sufferror was Mrs. Mary Ken
nels, of 16 Hammett St., Anderson,
the wife of ?. W. Kernels. She 's
a woman widely known in the Pied
mont Section of South Carolina, b^
ing promintntly connected by blo.-?u
and marriage to a number of tho
best known families of Anderson,
Greenville, Plckens and Oconee coun
ties.
But Tanlac, the master medicine,
did what nothing else on earth
seemed able to do to bring her re
lief from these terrible attacks, whicn
often came as frequently aB four
times a .day. In less than three
weeks after she began taking thi?
wonderful preparation, she had gain
ed ten (10) pounds in weight; and
her ailment, which had kept 'her in
bed or in a greatly weakened condi
tion for eleven (ll) consecutive
mouths, during which time she bad
suffered at least two hundred (200)
of these convulsions, had been ban
ished. Ten days after she, a bed
ridden sufferer, began taking Tanlac.
she 'had recovered her health and
strength sufficiently to do her* house
work and to go visiting, she said.
It was a wonderful story she told
or her suffering and recovery, and
equally as wonderful were the de
tails supplied by her father, who,
with her husband, and mother were
in the room during the Interview.
Mrs. Kernel's father, G. W. Hale,
of 16 Hammett St., said:
"Her Buffering was so terrible and
so intense that we had laid her out,
thinking her dead, at ?SRSt two hun
dred (200) times during the last
eleven (ll) mbnths. Scores of
times when she was laid out, I hop
ed she really was dead so she could
not have to longer eudure that awful
agony. But she was relieved in ju?t
two weeks by Tanlac, and now, fif
teen days after she began taking lt,
she is up and goos out visiting. -For
.five yearu she suffered these at
tacks after eating, and we had done
everything possible for her. During
the past year we spent at least $GQU
for doctors' hills for her. But the
only relief she obtained was in Tan
lac. It is the* greatest medicine on
earth today."
Regarding her suffering, snd the
great relief Tanlac gave her, Hrs.
Kernels said:
"I suffered from chronic stomach
trouble and indigestion for Ave
years. I steadily became worse de
spite all treatment.' I would 'have
spells just after eating that would
resemble convulsions, so great was
the agony. I would often he in bed

ian Had Laid Her Out for
er Suffering Five Years,
stored in Two Weeks By
attucks. Beginning eleven montli?l
ago, I '.ad been, until about twj
weeks ago, ' too sick to do anything
around the house, and was in the bed
or in a chair the greater part or the
time.
"La.it Summer I was ?trwiv?) operat
ed on at a hospital here, but these
operations gave me no relief nor re
spite from my suffering. When they
carried me td" a hospital last Au
gust on a Thursday, I did not' know
until the following Sunday where I
was, so intense' was the agony I suf
fered. I was unconscious' in a way.
"T'ue Monday before I began tan
ing Tanlac on Tuesday afternoon, i
had an attack of this trouble and
bad two doctors to see me. They
said my case was hopeless, and that
-they knew of nothing which would
give mo relief. They said, though,
that an operation might possibly help
me some-a remote possibility, they
plainly stated. It wa3 my stomach
which would have been operated on.
"I had been In bed six weeks', and
I was told that my trouble was not.
like any case they had seeen repo't
ed, but lt was known I had stomach
trouble. My kidneys also were la
bad shape. ' I had rehumatism a
great deal. Everything I ate would
sour on my stomach.
"We had done everything we cou'.d
think of to give me relief, but to no
avail. My ?msband had bouzht a
bottle of Tanlac for my dasughtdr,
who bad a form of stomach trouble,
mild as compared with mine, ho *.
ever, and it was greatly helping her.
HQ said: 'Try Tanlac, Mary." So,
I began takirjg Tanlac.
"I have now taken a little over two
bottles of Tanlac, and I have gained
at least ten (10) pounds in weight.
I am doing my housework now, and I
began taking Tanlac just fifteen (15)
days ago. My little girl helps' me
some, I feel fine ia every way,
though I am, of course, a little weak
after a year of continuous suffer
ing.
"The very first dose of Tanlac
made the convulsion, or spell, which
followed my meal much less painful,
and the attacks after each subse
quent meal gradually became less un
til, within a week, they were gone
entirely. Just think! Tanlac put a
rjtnn in those terrible attacks in a
! week. It ls wonderful, and no one
I who does not know how I suffered,
or'y those who watched over me as I
writhed in agony can fully appreciate
and understand just what wonderful '
relief Tanlac gave me. I will never
quit praising Tanlac.
"When I told my doctor of what I
was taking, when he asked me what
was giving mo so much relief, he said
he certainly was glsd of it, so great
was thc? relief Tanlac was giving me.
Ho had said my case was hope
less.
"I stay hungry all the time now,
and what I eat- does not hurt me at
all, -but my food digests well and ls
nourlouiug me. It is wonderful, real
ly, how Tanlac has relieved my suf
fering and has restored, my health.
I have written all my relatives about
it, and some of them are now taking
it, too. I sure can recommend Tan
lac, and do praise lt to the skies."
