uTHE wholesale distributing agency

the Southern and Western distributor
of Tanlac, few days ago. "This
firm" continued Mr.. Harris, gave
their order for an entire carload of
Tanlac several weeks ago and have
just received same. This car COM
prises 1000 dozen, 1920 bottles, and
is without doubt, the largest order ever
given by a Denver dealer for new
preparation, but having heard through
absolutely reliable sources of the re-
markable and rapidly growing demand
for Tanlac in other cities, this firm
did not hesitate to place an order for
the above amount.
"In only a few weeks time Tanlac
will be placed on sale in practically
every large city, town, village and ham,

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
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 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 1t and have pronounced it the
greatest medicine ever given to the
people, and the only explanation Of
Tanlac's triumph in the medical world
is Tanlacs true worth Back of Tan
lacs triumph in the drug stores is
tTanlac'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 it is unques-
tionably 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
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 a 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 a 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,
1,406,448 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 $4,000 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

CORNS LIFT OUT

This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM

aching corn relieves the soreness in

callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of

a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.

thorized to make regulations govern
ing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors
"in or near" military camps. Not
only can liquor not be sold or sup
piled but it will be illegal for any
person to have in his possession any
Intoxicating or spirituous liquors at
any military station, cantOnment,
camp, fort, post or officers or enlisted
mems club.
1t will be unlawful for anyone to
sell intoxicating liquor, including
beer, to any officer or member Of the
military forces while in uniform.
Likewise, the social evil is guarded
against through the suppression and
prevention of the setting up of any
houses used for immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
of congress the president is author
lied to call II, 100000 men to the colors
is expected to have a great moral eff

England to date has raised some
100000 men. With the exception Of a
couple of million these men are at
the front in France, Belgium, Egypt,
the Balkans and MesopOtamia.
What the president and Secretary
Baker desire first and above all is to
train the officers and men. When they
are ready to fight the drilled troops Of
Germany, then probably they will be
sent abroad, and not before.
But Germany doubtless will watch
with increasing anxiety the prepared

realize that peace will be most desir-
able and necessary, before they are
ready for service in France.
