WORLDS RECORD is
BROKEN BY TANLkC
Bottles Sold in Four Years Would
Reach From New York to
Danved ColO

Four years ago very few people
had ever heard of Tanlac. Today 1T
unquestonably has the largest sale of
any medicine in the world, and is as
we'll known in Canada as in this
country. In the brief period of only
four years time this now famous
remedy has leaped from obscurity to
the very pinnacle of success. Its
fame, in fact, has long since spread
beyond the limits of the continent,
and numerous inquiries regarding it
are now being received from many
foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully
realize what a really wonderful re-
cord 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 it's success
would he hard to believe.
Up to January first, 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 distrbu-
ted in the United States and Canada,
the exact figure being 1,306,1S6 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 10000 bottles of Tanlac
will be sold during evexy day of the
year, or 2100 bottles for every hour
of the average working day.
Thnco fin11roc cf11ropI
for the average mind to grasp, but
one may visualize what twelve mil
/ lion bottles mean by imagining them
laid out in1a 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 a double track
of Tanlac from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf of Mexico. piled end on
end they would tower 1876 times as
high as Pixies Peak, or rise 1888
times higher than the Woodwork
Building in New York, the tallest
building in the world.
The demand for Tanlac has become
so great that it's sale instead of be-
ing measured by the gross as other
preparations have been, is now
reckoned by the carload, and even by
the train load. In proof of this it is
a noteworthy fact that the leading
druggist jobbers everywhere now buy
lots. To supply the Pacific Coast
Tanlac almost exclusively in carload
trade alone requires from forty to
fifty carloads per years. Jobbers
of the Middle West are selling from
seventy to eighty cars per year.
The we'll known drug firm of Hes
sig-Ellis Drug Company of Memphis,
Tennessee, has fold over forty car
loads since the introduction of Tan
lac 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 druggist
of the Pacific Coast, state that they
have sold more than $1,000 bottles
at retail, which surpasses the re-
markable record of the Jacobs Phar-
macy Company of Atlanta, who have
sold approximately $4,000 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 and
merit alone is responsible for it's
phenomenal and unprecedented sue
cess.
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
everywhere. For sale by Central
Pharmacy. (Adv.)
