PUBLIC NOW TOLD
ALL ABOUT TAN[AC
Auth critics Now Show Just What This
Medicine Really is

In a recent issue Of this paper an
nouncement was made that Tanla'
now has the largest sale OF any med
icine Of its kind in the world, anC
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 out-stripped all other medicines
Of its kind 1t is only natural there
fore that the manufacturers should Of
fer some explanation to satisfy pub
lie interest
In the first place, Tanlac is manu-
featured in one Of the largest and
most modernly equipped laboratories
in this country It's formula is purely
ethical and complies with all nation
al and state pure food and drug laws
Altogether there are ten ingredients
in Tanlac, each Of which is of recog-
nized therapeutic value.
Many of these ingredients have been
individually known and used since
civilization first began, and some Of
them have been used and prescribed
by leading physicians everywhere, but
until they were brought together in
proper proportion and association rs
in the TanIac formula, humanity had
not heretofore realized their full value
and effect.
In referring TO one of the more I'M
portant ingredients of Tanlac the
Encyclopedia Britannica says: 1T has
long been the source OF the most val
liable tonic medicines that have ever
been discovered" In referring to
Others of the general tonic drugs con-
tanned in Tanlac the 18th Edition of
Potter's Therapeutics, standard med
ical text book. states that. they inn
part general tone and strength TO the
entire system, including all organs
and tissues"
This same well known authority in
describing the physiological action CT
still another of the ingredients of
Tanlac which is of value in treating
what Is commonly known as "a run
down condition uses the following
expression: 1T Is highly esteemed in
loss of appetite during convalescense !
from acute diseases"
There are certain other elements in (
Tanlac which because of their infiu-
ence upon the appetite, digestion, as
simiIation and elimination improve J
the nutrition and vital activity OF all |
the tissues and organs of the body, |
and produce that state of general ton
icity which Is called health.
In discussing another ingredient
the Encyclopedia Britannica says: 1T
Is one OF the most efficient of that
class of substances which act upon
the stomach so as to invigorate diges-
ton and thereby increase the general
nutrition. II Is used in dyspepsia,
chlorosis, anemia and various other
diseases In which the tone of the
stomach and alimentary canal is de-
ficient." Concerning still another In
gredient this same standard authority /,
says: ut causes dilation of the gas
trio blood vessels, increases secretion
of the gastric juice, and causes great
er activity in the movements of the
muscular layers in the walls of the
stomach. II also tends to lessen the
sensibility OF the stomach, and so may
relieve gastric pain"
