IiNLAC LEAPS
TO GREAT FAME
IN THE NATION
Nothing Yet Has Ever Approached
The New Tonic IN Merit
or Popularity

h A little more than two years
ago the first bottle of Tanlac,
the modern medicine, which has
been building up countless thous-
ands of run down men and
women throughout the country,
was sold in a drug store in Lex
ington, Ky.
From that sale grew a romance
of the business world in which a
million people now have a per-
soEal interest an interest SUI
preme, because it is based on
health.
Today this aikable prepa-
ration is being distributed by
the carload. In the annals of
proprietary medicines nothing
has ever remotely approached
Tanlac's instant and tremendous
leap into popularity.
The original company which
put Tanlac on the market was
completely swamped with orders
in six months and found itself
unable to introduce Tanlac in
sufficient quantity to meet the
monster demand.
Overwhelmed with the colos'
sal demand il became necessary
for the original company to in
crease the capacity of its labato.
ries, but now, the thousands OF
people who have been waiting
for Tanlac may share in the ben
efts OF relief experienced through
its influence in stomach, kidney,
liver and catarrhal ailments anC
symptoms which arise from
these disorders, such as nervous
ness, dyspepsia. dizziness. sleep
lessness. loss of flesh, waning
strength. distress after eating
constipation, blotchy complexion
and those offensive and annoy
