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 a 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 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
lac's 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
1t is.
No matter where you 20. Tanlac Is
q 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 even hundreds may hear
Of Tanlac as direct result of one
bottle in single home.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just little over
two years ago in the thriving little
city Of Lexington. KY. where 10000
bottles of the medicine were sold in
only a few months. Since that time
there have been sold throughout the
United States something over seven
and n quarter million bottles. and n
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.
1,4O6, ,44S bottles have been sold. and
u
million and n half, or to be exact,
1896. .2O4 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.

try have voluntarily come forward and

raods. When public roads are kept in
good order property generally demands
Il good price. And besides adding to
the value of property. it is saving
and an incalculable convenience to the
lublic. Tell me what kind of roads
they have and will tell you the char
acter of the people. for one is indica-
tive of the other said a noted traveller.
Bad roads injure horses, break up We
hicles. and really cost the travelling
public more than the cost Of keeping
the reads in good repair would be.
Last winter and spring many of the
public roads Of this parish We're not hit
for either man or beast to travel over
roads over which it took Il four-horse
or OK team to draw load that Il sin
gle horse could have drawn had they
been in good repair. Now is very

beseech the overseers to enforce the
law. We sincerely hope our parochial
fathers will give the subject their seri-
GUS and earnest consideration ut their
