WORLDS RECORD IS BROKEN BY
 TANtAC

Four years ago very few people had ever heard of Tanlac- Today it un- oueStonably has the largest sale of any medicine in the world and IS as we'll known in Canada as in this coun- try. In the brief period of only four years time this now famous remedy has leapcd from obscurity to the very pinnacle of success. Its fame in fact, has long since spread beyond the linn it's of the continent, and numerous in- uuiries regarding it are now being re- ceived from many foreign countries.
 Very few people, however. fully realize what a really wonderful recorp Tanlac has made. Indeed. if it were not for the nquCStonablc facts and figures given out by the largest and best known drug firms of the country the story of it's success would be hard 70 believe.
 Up to January first the total sales of Tanac amounted to approximately twelve million bottles. The demand. however. is increasing. for during the first ten weeks of this year over one million bottles were sold and diStribut- eel in the. United States and Canada exact figures being 1'&0GlS6 in thrc' months.
 At this rate. therefore. the sale , for the present year will amount to more than five million bottles. This will mean that, 1000 bottles of Tan lac will be sold during every day ot the year or 2lOO bottles for cycry hour of the average working day.
 These figures are too stupcndou@ for the average mind to grasp. but one may visualize what twelve million bo.~ ties mean by imaginiEG them laid out in single file end to end Thus laid they would make a tracI of Tanlar from New York through Chicago, anI on to Denver Colorado: or they would form double track of Tanac from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico Piled end on end they would tower l@o times aS high aS PikcS Peak or rise l&.%%& times higher than the Wool worth Building in New York the tai lest building in the world.
 The demand. for Tanlac has become so great that it's sale instead of being measured by the gross as other pre- parationS have been is now rCckoued by the car load. and even by the train load. Tn proof of this it iS notewor- thy fact the leading drug jobbcrs ev- erywhcrc now buy Tanlac almost eX- cluSivcly ia car load lots. To supply the Pacific Coast trade alone requires from forty to fifty car loads per year. JobberS of the Middle West are selling from seventy to eighty cars per year.
 The well known drug firm of Hes sig-ElliS Drug Company of Memphis Tenn. has sold over forty car loads since the introduction of Tanlac iH that state four years ago.
 Within the past ninety days, ten car loads of Tanac have gone to sup ply the demand of British Columbia Saskatchewan. Alberta and Manitoba Canada.
 The Owl Drug Company of San Francisco, the largest retail druggists on the Pacific Coast. state that they have sold more than 1S0000 bottles at retail, which SurpaSscS the remark able record of the Jacobs Pharmacy Company of Atlanta who have sold approximately SO00O bottles at retail.
 Tanlac is composed of the most beneficial roots and herbs known to science. The formula complies with all national and state pure food and health laws of both the United States and Canada; and absolute merit ana merit alone is responsible for it's phe- nominal and unprecedented success.
 Tanlac is sold in Seward by the  Seward Drug Company. (adv)
