Part Of Income Each Year to
Charity.
Nov III recent years, perhaps, mas
the coming of any public character
aroused such widespread interest as
did the visit Of L. 7. Cooper, the mil
lionaire philanthropist, to Atlanta.
Mr.. Cooper is described as one of
Americas foremost leaders of ad-
vanced thought, and sprang into fame
and fortune through his new health
theories based on what is known as
the Tanlac treatment. He never ceas-
es to surprise you with the infinite
variety of his knowledge, and its abb
solute correctness and thoroughness.
In several of the larger cities, espe-
cially throughout the South, he has
done great deal Of relief work
among the poor.
Mr.. Cooper is a firm believer in
practical philanthropy, and his relief
work in Atlanta is already familiar to
the charity workers of that city.
During his recent visit there he dis
tributed at the Piedmont Hotel, under
the personal direction of the leading
charity workers, eleven hundred
ready-made dresses of excellent quail
ity to the poor women and children.
Ladies prominent in Atlanta social
life and many prominent citizens were
on hand early in the afternoon to as
sist in cooperating with Mr.. Cooper
in this worthy cause.
A few weeks previous to this he
performed similar service in Bir-
mingham and donated one thousand
dresses to the poor of that city.
Similar donations were also made in
Jackson. Vicksburg, Memphis, Sayan-
nah, Montgomery, Macon, Augusta,
Nashville, Chattanooga and Knox
vile. And his establishment of the
now famous free bread line" in
Louisville, where he distributed fifty
thousand loaves of bread absolutely
free and without question to those in
want, proved revelation to charity
workers there. In fact. in practical
ly every city Mr.. Cooper has visited
he has always shown his great sym
pathy for the poor and unfortunate
by performing some unique act of
charity.
Mr.. Cooper contends that nine
tenths of the diseases and i'll health
of the present-day American is due to
faulty digestion and improper assimi-
ation Of the food, which finally pro-
duces stuffed up condition of the
vital organs.
1t has been said that Tanlac, his
celebrated medicine which is now &C.
comprising such remarkable results
throughout the country, not only
overcomes all catarrhal inaamations
Of the mucous membrane. but acts
directly in the correction of the stom-
ach, liver, kidney and intestinal disor-
ders.
Tanlac has been so convincingly
proven by the thousands who have
endorsed it, it is also reconstructive
tonic of great power, and has been
known to entirely relieve the most.
obstinate cases of rheumatism and
blood disorders, in a very short time.
1t is, indeed, doubtful if anything
ever placed on the market in the way
of medicine has sprung into such
popular favor in so short a time.
People everywhere have been quick to
recognize its wonderful merit. The
demand for it has been nothing short
of phenomenal.
In Atlanta, where Tanlac was placed
on sale seven months ago over 46, 600
bottles have been sold, which, accord
ing to the Jacobs Pharmacy Co., Of
that city, has established a new re-
cord and is unprecedented in the
history Of the drug business in At
lanta. In the city Of Knoxville the
Kuhlman-C hambiiss Co. sold and dis
tributed 1916 bottles in nine months.
