RENOWNED MAN
VISITS ATLANTA
L. T. COOPER GIVES LARGE PART
OF INCOME EACH YEAR TO
CHARITY.

CHARITY.
Not in recent years. perhaps, has the
looming of any public character aroused
such widespread interest as did the
visit Of L. T. Cooper. the millionaire
philanthropist, to Atlanta recently.
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 Al
the Tanlac treatment. He is a man OF
rare talents, magnetic force and charm
of manner. He never ceases to sur.
prise you with the infinite variety OF
his knowledge, and its absolute cor
rectness and thoroughness. In several
of the larger cities, especially throgh-
out the South, he has done a great deal
Of relief work among the poor.
Mr.. Cooper is a Erm believer in prac-
teal philanthropy, and his relief work
in Atlanta is already familiar to the
charity workers of that city. During
his recent visit there he distributed at
the Piedmont Hotel, under the personal
direction of leading charity workers,
eleven hundred ready-made dresses of
excellent quality to the poor women
and children. Ladies prominent in At
lanta social life and many prominent
citizens were on hand early in the
afternoon to assist in cooperating
with Mr.. Cooper in this worthy
A few weeks previous to this he per-
formed a similar service in Birming-
ham and donated one thousand dresses
to the poor of that city. Similar
donations were also made in Nashville,
Chattanooga and Knoxville, and his
establishment of the now famous free
bread line" in Louisville during the
past winter, where he distributed fifty
thousand loaves of bread absolutely
free and without question to those in
want, proved a revelation to charity
workers there. In fact, in practically
every city Mr.. Cooper had visited he
has always shown his great sympathy
for the poor and unfortunate by per-
forming some unique act of charity.
Mr.. Cooper contends that nine-tenths
of the diseases and ill-health of the
p~resent-day American is due to faulty
digestion and improper assimilation of
the food which finally produces q
condition of the vital organs.
1t has been said that Tanlac, his Gel
brated medicine, which is now accom-
plishing such remarkable results
throughout the country, not. only
all catarrhal inf1ammations
of the mucous membrane, but acts
directly in the CORRECTIONS of the stom-
ach, liver, kidney and intestinal dis
orders. .- -s~z
Tanlac, IS has been SO convincingly
proven by the thousands upon thou
sands who have indcrsed it, is also a
reconstructive tohsc Of great power,
and has been known to 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 a medicine has sprung into such pop
ular favor in so short time. People
everywhere have been quick to recog-
nize it's wonderful merit. The demand
for it has been. nothing short of
phenomenal.
In Atlanta, where Tan1ac was placed
on sale only about q month ago, over
1000 bottles have been sold, which,
according to the Jacobs Pharmacy
Co., of that city, has established a
new record and is unprecedented in the
history of the drug business of Atlanta.
In the city of Knoxville the Kuhlman-
Chambliss Co.. have sold and distrib-
uted as, 1876 bottles since the 9th day
of February, 1915. In Louisville, KY,
the Taylor-Isaac Drug Co., who oper-
ate eight retail stores in that city.
sold 80, 600 bottles in less than 80 days.
Through the Nashville Office alone
nearly 1OO, 600 bottles have been sold in
six months time. The demand for
Tanlac in Birmingham, Chattanooga,
and, in fact, every where it has been
introduced has likewise been phenome-
nal, and the demand for it is constantly
increasing. A total of I've n mil
lion bottles of the medicine has been
sold in nine months time, and it is,
without doubt, the most widely talked
of medicine in the world today.
When asked to explain this record
breaking demand for Tanlac, G. F.
Willis, Mr.. Cooper's Southern repre-
sentative, said: There can be only
one possible explanation, and it a be
told in one word, merit That tells
the whole story. No preparation. no
matter how extensively advertised, can
possibly meet with such phenomenal
success, unless it possesses extraordi-
nary curative powers"
Thousands upon thousands are testi-
flying daily that they, haye been
relieved of diseases after years of suf.
fering by its use.
