SUCCESS PHENOMENAL
tame Of the Medicine Spreads Over
Whole Nation-Now Sold From
Coast to Coast,

NEVER before, pei 1,aps, In all his
~ tory has the demand for pro-
prietary 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 oil parts
of the country.
From Coast to Coast and from the
Gulf to the Great Lakes, Tanlac Is
known and honOred. Millions have
taken 1t and have pronounced 1t the
greatest medicine ever given to the
people. and the only explanation of
Tanlac's triumph In the medical world
Is Tanlac's true worth. Back of Tan
lacs triumph In the drug stores Is
Tanlac's triumph In the homes. 1t Is
the peoples medicine and the people
themselves have made Tanlac what
It Is.
No matter where you go, Tanlac Is
q household word and 1t is unques-
donably the most widely talked-of
medicine in the world today. One per-
son invariably tells another about a
medicine that helps him and In this
way scores or even hundreds may hear
Of Tanlac as a direct result of one
bottle in 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 few months. Since that time
there have been sold throughout the
United States something over seven
and quarter million bottles, and a
romance 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
for Tanlac.
Just few months ago, It 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.
1,408,448 bottles have been sold, and
the grand total now stands at over a
million and half, or to be exact,
1896. .204 bottles.
These are actual figures, and the
fact that one hundred and fifty-eight
carloads of Tanlac have been sold and
shipped into the South and West since
the first day Of October, 1915, is a
matter of record and can easily be
verified.
One retail firm alone, the Jacobs
Pharmacy Co., Of Atlanta, have sold
the astonishing total of 84,0O0 bottles
within the past twelve months. What
Is true Of Atlanta, is also true of prac-
tically 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
stated In plain, cold figures, the rec
ord breaking sales everywhere, as is

In June of this year. Under this pro-
vision those who already have paid
their income taxes for the year ending
December 81. 1915, will have to pay
another One-third Of their taxes again,
and those who have not paid will have

amusement theater, and baseball tick
cts.
A new tax of per cent on heat.

in the bill. Under this section when
the householder goes to pay his month
ly bills for these articles he will have
to pay an additional 5 per cent of the
amount of the bills for the support of
the government.
The stamp tax on telephone and
telegraph messages was fixed at 8
cents on each message the toll of which
Is more than 10 cents.
Commuters tickets were exempt
from the passenger ticket tax of 10 per
cent tax where the one way fare Is
less than 25 cents.

mail In first and second zones.
Three cents pound on second.class
mail In the third and fourth zones.
