pSSNA~
had ever heard of Tanlac-Today it
unqestionably 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 leaped from obscurity to the very
pinnacle Of success. It's fame in fact,
has long since spread beyond the linn
its of the continent, and numerous in
quiries regarding it are now being re-
ceived from many foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully re-
alize what q really wonderful record
Tanlac has made. Indeed, if it were
not for the questionable 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
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 distrib-
uted in the United States and Canada,
the exact figure being 1,3O6,186 in
three months.
At this rate, then the sales for the
present year will amount to more than
five million bottles. This will mean
that $4,000 bottles of Tanlac will be
sold during every day Of the year, or
2100 bottles for every hour Of the av-
erage 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 a single file end to end. Thus laid
they would make a 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 Mexi-
co. 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
tallest building in the world.
The demand for Tanlac has become
so great that it's sales instead Of being
measured by the gross as other prep
arations have been, is now measured
by the carload, and even by the train
load, in proof of this it is q note
worthy fact that the leading druggist
jobbers everywhere now buy Tan:ac
exclusively in carload lots. To supply
the Pacific Coast trade alone requires
from forty to fifty a loads per year.
Jobbers from the Middle West are
selling from forty to fifty cars per
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. y,
Within the past ninety days, ten car
loads of Tanlac have gone to SUPPLY
the demand of British Columbia, Sas-
kachewan, Alberta and Mloit,ha, E.sn-
ada.

Tanlac is composed of the most pen-
eficial roots and ne.5s known to sci
ence. 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 1ts phen-
omenal and unprecedented success. s.ss
Tanlac is sold in Bottineau by s,

Drug Co. and in Gardena by Ben
