BETTER HEALTH FOR PEOPLE EVERY
WHERE TRIUMPH OF TANLAC
Druggists Say Success in Ac-
tual Tests Backs Its Sue
cess In the Trade.

Tanlac's triumphs have been both
swift and steady. The quickness with
which ailing men and women. ac-
cepted it at its introduction to the
public less than two years ago is
equaled by the steady demand with
which 1t is welcomed today.
SO great is this demand, based upon
the proven merits of the great re-
constructive tonic and upon the IN
stinted praise and unqualified endorse
ment given by thankful men and
women. that the big world Of business
has taken heed OF Tanlac
Druggists who had handled propri-
etary medicines fot years were star
tied with the rec/rd. Accustomed to
sales hitherto cSnsidered large, thew
could find no precedent, not even a
basis of comparison for the success
Of Tanlac.
The druggists soon discovered the
reason of Tanlac's triumph in the
store-it was Tanlac's triumph in the
home.
Tanlac has brought prosperity to
many because 1t has made them equal
to their tasks-ht for their Jobs
eager to do their work, whether it is
the work of a housewife, the teacher,
the clerk. the preacher. or profess
stonal man, baker, merchant and man
ufacturer, mechanic. laborer and
farmer.
As you read the recommendations
Of Tanlac you will be impressed with
the frequency of some expressions:
TT has made a new man of me-" ut
has made me feel like a girl" TT has
made me feel like new" II am gain
ing weight" "Tanlac has put dollars
in my pocket" u can do more work
than ever before"
As tonic for rundown men and
more strength, more flesh, regulated
circulation and a revitalizing of the
nervous system, Tanlac, The Tonic
Supreme, has no equal
