WORLDS RECORD is
BROKEN BY TANLAC
Bottles Sold in Four Years Would
Reach From New York to
Denver, Colo.

Four years ago very few people
had ever heard of Tanlac. Today it
unquestionably has the largest sale
OF any medicine in the world, and is as
well known in Canada as in this coun-
try. In the brief period Of only four
years time this now famous remedy
has leaped from obscurity to the very
pinnacle of success. It's fame in fact,
has long since spread beyond the linn
it's of the continent, and numerous in
quiries regarding it are now being re-
ceived from many foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully
realize what a really wonderful record
Tanlac has made. Indeed, if it were
not for the unquestionable facts and
figures given out by the largest and
best known drug firms of the country
the story Of its success would be hard
to believe.
Up to January LIST, the total sales
OF Tanlac 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 distrib-
uted in the United States and Cam
ada, the exact figure being / 800, 1861
In three months.
At this rate, therefore, the sales for
the present year will amount to more
than five million bottles. This will
mean that 1900 bottles of Tanlac will
be sold every day of the year, or 2,10OI
bottles for every hour of the average
working day.
These figures are too stupendous
for the average mind to grasp, but one
may visualize what twelve million bot !
ties mean by imagining them laid out
in single file, end to end Thus laid
they would make track of Tanlac
from New York through Chicago, and
on to Denver, Colorado; or they would
form double track of Tanlac from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf Of Mex
leo. Piled end on end they would
tower 1876 times as high as Pixies
Peak or rise 1888 times higher
than the Woolworth Building in New
York, the highest building in the
world
The demand for Tanlac has become
so great than it's sale instead of be-
ing measured by the gross as other
preparations have been, is now reck-
oned by the carload, and even by the
trainload. In proof of this it is
noteworthy fact that the leading drug
glst !obbers everywhere now buy Tan
lac almost exclusively in carload lots.
To supply the Pacific Coast trade
alone requires from forty to fifty car
loads a year-jobbers of the Middle
West are selling from seventy to
eighty carloads year.
The well known drug firm of Hes
sig-Ellis Drug Company Of Memphis,
Tennessee, has sold over forty car
loads since the introduction of Tanlac
IN that state four years ago.
Within the past ninety days, ten
carloads of Tanlac 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 10000 bottles at
retail, which surpasses the remarkable
record of the Jacobs Pharmacy Com
pany. of Atlanta. who have sold APP
proximately 10000 bottles at retail
Tanlac is composed Of the most ben
eficial 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 and
merit alone is responsible for it's phe-i
nomenal and unprecedented success.
Tanlac is sold in Minot by the
Taylor Drug Co.; in Kenmare by John
T.. Wemark; in Ryder by Geo. c.
Couch, and in Douglas by J. ]. Dona-
