WORLDS RECORD is
BROKEN BY TANLAC

Tanlac has brought a new romance
to the commercial world 1t is the
story of an acceptance and apprecia-
ton of merit never before attained by
a proprietary medicine. Staid busi-
ness men to whom the actual figures
of the production of Tanlac have been
presented have secuted them until the
proof was shown. The production of
Tanlac now stands at the rate of al
most four million bottles per yer. The
exact figures are 1892 800. The sale
of million bottles in the first nine
months, which far exceeded any rec
ord ever made by proprietary medl-
cine, now seems insignificant.
"One firm alone" said Mr.. G. F. Will
lis, the international distributor of
Tanlac, has given orders for total
of 156, 900 bottles within eighteen
months time The firm l refer to is
the Spurlock-Neal Co, Of Nashville,
Tenn. Mr.. c. S. Martin, president
of this great firm, who is also presi-
dent of the Southern Drug Jobbers' as
sociation, will verify this statement.
"Tanlac is the result of many years
! of arduous study by Mr.. Cooper and
his principal chemist, in fact, the two
of them have carefully watched its de-
yelopment from the beginning of the
experimental stage to its present state
of efficiency. So remarkable have been
the results obtained from this medi-
cine that 1 doubt seriously il either
of these men realize the immensity of
their success. Like many other great
prove its far-reaching effects.-Adv.

Denver, Colo.

Denver, Colo.
I find upon reference to our re-
cords that since we became dis
tributors for Tanlac in this territory
last April, we have sold to the agents
75.648 bottles of Tanlac, and this is
in a section long on territory and short
on population.
l must confess that the story OF the
success with Tanlac in other fields,
when it first came to US, would have
sounded something like fairy tale
but for the fact that we had some ad-
vance information about what had
been done in other territory and we
otherwise would have been exceed
ingly skeptical.
Mr.. Willis has made good on all he
promised to do in this territory and
them some. At all times he has been
reasonable and fair in his methods and
can be depended upon to carry out any
verbal or written contract he may
make.
/ consider that no dealer will make
a mistake n taking on the Tanlac ag-
ency this territory.
Yours very sincerely,

Tanlac is Producing Re-
markable Results.

The following letter from DR.. VIM.
F. Bingham, president of the state
board of pharmacy of Alabama, is
probably the first Endorsement ever
given proprietary medicine by an
official of this department of a state

high esteem in which Tanlac is held by
leading druggists everywhere Dr.

Dear Mr.. Willis: In reply to yours
OF recent date l am pleased to advise
the the Bingham Drug Company has
never handled any thing that even ap-
preached Tanlac in popularity. We
have sold 1,100 bottles since securing
the agency, and 1t is going here at the
rate of 800 bottles per month.
Everyone here who has used Taniac
speaks of it in the very highest terms
and the repeat orders from those who
have used it are remarkably numerous
and show conclusively that it is giving
great satisfaction. 1t is the talk of
the town, and everybody seems anx-
ious to recommend it to his neigh
bors
| 1 have been interested in 1t as a
medicine and have observed the salts
| factory use of Tanlac in a number of
| local cases Of chronic disorders. You
| could get some excellent testimonials
here, for it has produced remarkable
results in a number of cases.
We value our agency highly, and can
| say that we have never handled any
thing that gives as much general salts

Our sales are increasing continually
and l desire to thank you for the
splendid cooperation you have ac-
| corded us. Very truly yours,

One of the most striking and note
the Introduction of Tanlac throughout

UNCLE DIGS DOWN IN HIS
POCKETS

n INFORMAL war contracts involving
more than technical defect in sig
nature apparently contain many hard
problems for the war department.
There are about 1900 claims Of this
sort. This figure. of course. 10 for
principal claims and does not include
the four or five princi-
pal claims in tho famous castor-bean
case, for example, interest something
like $4,000 subcontractors.
Out of the 1900 claims, one hundred
sixtg-five have SO far had favorable
action from the war department, and
lit have been rejected. Officials hope
that the progress they have been max
ing with the necessary preliminary in
vestigations will soon become appar-
emit through increased numbers Of de-
cisions.
The informal contracts are not the
only ones the war department has IN
it's hands. To the end of September
1t had liquidated 22,6o0 contracts that
were cancelled or suspended. paying to
the contractors, sao9, 100000. Liquida-
ton was then proceeding at rate ap-
proximating $50 contracts week
About $500 contracts remained to be
liquidatcd, and It was estimated that
their settlement would involve pay
ments amounting to $500. 900. 900.
