OVER SEVEN MILLION BOTTLES
SOLD AND DISTRIBUTED
IN LESS THAN TWO
YEARS TIME.
SUCCESS PHENOMENAL
Fame Of the Medicine Spreads over
Whole Nation-Now Sold From
Coast to Coast.

NEVER before, perhaps, in all his
1 tory has the demand FOR a pro-
prletary medicine ever approached the
wonderful record that is now being
made by Tanlac, the celebrated medi-
cine which has been accomplishing
such remarkable results In all parts
Of the country.
From Coast to Coast and from the
Gulf to the Great Lakes, Tanlac is
known and honored. Millions have
taken It and have pronounced It the
greatest medicine ever given to the
people, and the only explanation Of
Tanlac's triumph I'm the medical world
is Tanlac's true worth. Back Of Tan
laos triumph in the drug stores Is
Tanlac's triumph In the homes. II IS
the peoples medicine and the people
themselves have made Tanlac what
1t Is. .
No matter where you 60, Tanlac is
a household word and 1t is unques-
tiOnably the most widely talked-Of
medicine in the world today. One per-
son invariably tells another about n
medicine that helps him and in this
way scores or ever hundreds may hear
OF Tanlac as a direct result Of one
bottle in a single home.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just a little over
two years ago in the thriving little
city of Lexington, KY, where 10000
bottles of the medicine were sold in
only n few months. Since that time
there have been sold throughout the
United States something over seven
and a quarter million bottles, and a
man which has no parallel In the
modern business world has begun.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won in Lexington has
been duplicated in practically every
large town, small town. village and
hamlet in North America, Hawaii,
Alaska, Cuba. Porto Rico and other
American possessions have clamored
Tor Tanlac.
Just a few months ago, 1t was an
nounced in the Atlanta papers that
twenty-five carloads, 265,476 bottles of
Tanlac had been sold through the At
lanta Office alone. Since that time,
1,406,44S bottles have been sold, and
the grand total now stands Mt over a
million and a half, or to be exact,
1,695,204 bottles.
These are actual figures, and the
fact that one hundred and ffty-eight
carloads of Tanlac have been sold and
shipped into the South and West since
the first day of October, 1915, is n
matter of record and can easily be
verified.
One retail firm alone, the Jacobs
Pharmacy Co., of Atlanta, have sold
the astonishing total of $4,000 bottles
within the past twelve months. What
Is true of Atlanta, is also true of prac-
tlcally every large city of the South
and West, where the sales have been
cOrrespondingly large.
The greatest drug firms of the cOun-
try have voluntarily come forward and

u. S. Faces Stupendous
Task of Raising IA Billions
For War Before June 80

Cleveland, oct. Secretary of
the Treasury William G. McAdoo Of
fcially opened the second Liberty
Loan Campaign in Cleveland to-day.
Speaking of the financial problem
of the nation, Mr.. McAdoo said:
After allowing for the revenue
from taxation for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1918, we shall have
to raise by additional bond issues
between thirteen and fourteen bill
lions of dollars. 1t is estimated that
$1,000, 10000 will represent additio-
nal loans to the allied governments,
which, in turn, will give us their
obligations bearing interest.
ITO raise thirteen to fourteen bill
lions of dollars on or before the 30th
of June, 1918, by the sale of bonds
in recurring instalments, seems to
some people an impossible task. 1t is
stupendous undertaking but it is
not impossible for America. 1t is not
easy, but it can be done. Our re-
sources are adequate; our will is per-
feet; our spirit is indomitable and
our success is certain. We have
only to pull together and we can do
the Job. Already we have demon
strated what a united people can do
when partisanship is subordinated to
patriotism; when love OF country be-
comes supreme. l look forward,
therefore, with confidence to the
success to the recurring campaigns
we must make for the sale of Liberty
Bonds"

Hopkins Tells ROtarians
Shows Will Be Clean; Says
His Critics Are Insincere

c. Floyd Hopkins, manager of the
Wilmer and Vincent Theaters in Har-
risburg, appeared before the Harris
burg Rotary Club to-day to defend
himself and his firm from what he re-
garded as unfair newspaper attack
with regard to burlesque shows ap-
pearing at the .orpheum Theater
Mr.. Hopkins said that conditions
had been misrepresented. The re-
porter who wrote the first of the
criticisms of the burlesque shows had
tcld him the day after the article APP
peared that he could find no fault
with the show, but that he had roast
ed the show because he had been told
to write his story that way.
Mr.. Hopkins also pointed out that
the newspaper in question had print
ed the pictures of young men attend
ing these shows as mental weak
lings" and worse, and he called atten-
tion to the fact that twenty-four en-
ployes of the Patriot and its evening
edition had been attending each o.,
these shows on twenty-four passes
provided as part pay for advertising
the burlesques.
He also pointed out what he said
was inconsistency because the paper
complained that women in the bur
lesque shows wore little clothing,
while in the same issue on an inside
page it published the picture of an
almost nude woman, clad after a
manner that would cause my arrest
if l attempted to have her give her
dance here"
He pledged his support to the au-
thorities to have nothing but clean
shows in Harrisburg. and said that
be- makes weekly trips to Philadel-
rhia, New York. Altoona and other
cities to make sure that nothing OBJ
jectionable comes here. "If the shows
are not what they ought to be. let
the management be arrested, - he said.
