PUBLIC NOW TOLD ALL ABOUT TANLAC Authorities Now Show Just What This Medicine
 Really Is

In recent issue of this paper an- nouncement was made that Tanlac now has the largest sale of any medicine of US Kind in the world, and that more than twelve million bottles had been sold during the past four years.
 These are unusual figures, and the question naturally arises in the mind of the reader why this phenomenal success and why has this preparation so far outstripped all other medicines of It's klnd. It is only natural, therefore, that the manufacturers should offer some ex = plantion to satisfy public interest.
 Tn the first place, Tanlac is manu- factured in one of the largest and most modernly equipped laborat tories in this country Its formula is purely ethical and complies with all national and state~ pure food and drug laws. Alto gether there are 10 ingredients in Tan lac, each of which is of recognized therapeutic value
 Many of these ingredients have been individually known and used since civ uization first began, and some of them have been used and prescribed by lead ing physicians everywhere, but until they were brought together in proper proportion and. association as in the Tanlac formula, humanity had not here tofore realized their full value and ef- feet.
 In referring to one of the more inn portant ingredients of Tanlac, the En- cyclopedia Brftanica says: Tt has long been the source of the most valuable tonic medicines that have ever been discovered" In referring to others of the general tonic drugs contained in Tanlac the thirteenth edition of Pot ter's Therapeutics, a standard medical text book, states that they impart general tone and strength to the en- tire system, including all organs and tissues"
 This same well known authority in describing the physiological action of still another of the ingredients of Tan lac which is of value in treating what. ls> co\monly known as "a rundown condition, uses the following express sion: Ut is highly esteemed in loss of appetite during convalescense from acute diseases"
 There are certain other elements in Tanlac which because of their influ- ence upon the appetite, digestion, as- slmilation and elimination improve the nutrition and vital activity of all the tissues and organs of the body. and produce that state of general tonicity which is called health.
 In discussing another ingredient the Encyclopedia Britannica says: Ut is one or the most efficient of that class of substances which act upon the stomach So as to invigorate digestion. and there Q II. l IS used in dyspepsia, chlorosis anemia and various other diseases in which the tone of the stomach and alimentarv canal is deficient" Concerning still an- thority says: Tt causes dilation of the gastric blood vessels, increases secre- tion of the gastric juice, and causes greater activity in the movements of the muscular layers in the walls of the stomach. It also tends to lessen the sen slbility of the stomach, and so may relieve gastric pain"
 The United States Dispensatory makes the following comment regard Ing another ingredient: Ut may be used In all cases of pure debility of the di- gestive organs or where a general tonic impression is required. Dyspepsia, atonlc gout, hysteria, and intermittent l iever are among the many affections In which 1t has proven useful"
 There are certain other ingredients 1 described in the Dispensatory and in | other standard medical text books as ] havlng beneficial action upon the or l gans or secretion, whose proper func- tionlns results in the purification of | the blood streams passing through | them. In this manner objectionable and | poisonous lngredients of the blood are removed, and the entire system is in- vigorated and vitalized
 Ianlac was designed primarily for the | correction of disorders>of the stomach 1 liver and bowels. At the same time. however, it is powerful reconstructive tonic and body builder, for it naturallv follows that any medicine that brings | about proper assimilation of the food | and the thorough elimination of the paste products must therefore have a l far-reaching and most beneficial ef- | feet upon the entire system
 Although Tanlac's claims for sn premacy are abundantly supported by | the worlds leading authorities, it is the | people themselves who have really | made Tanlac what it is. Millions upon millions have used it. and have told | other millions what it has done for chem. That is why Tanlac has become the real sensation of the drug trade in this country, and that is also why it Is the most widely talked-of medicine In the world today.
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by En- gene Jacobs drug store and Patton Pope Drug company, and by the lead ing druggists in practically every city, sAwn and village in America.--Adv.
