it unquesionably 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
record Tanlac has made. Indeed il
1t were not for the unQuestionable
facts and figues given out by the
largest and best known drug firms
Of the country the story Of its sue
cess would be hard TO believe.
Up to January first, the total
sales Of Tanlac amounted to approx
imately twelve million bottles. The
demand however is increasing. for
during the first ten weeks OF this
year over one million bottles were
sold and distributed in the United
States and Canada, the exact figure
being 1906, 1855 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
Tai l.c will be sold during every
day OF the year, or 2100 bottles
for every hour of the average work
ing day.
These figures are two stupendous
for the average mind to grasp, but
one may visualize what twelve
million bottles 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
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
Woolworth Building in New York,
the tallest building in the world.
The demand for Tanlac has be-
come 80 great that its sale instead
of being measured by the gross az
other preparations have been, is
now reckoned by the carload, and
even by the train load. In proof of
this it is noteworthy fact that the
leading druggist iobbers everywhere
now buy Tanlac almost exclusively
in car load lots. To supply the
Pasific Coast trade alone requires
from forty to fifty carloads per
year. Jobbers of the Middle West
are selling seventy to eighty cars
per year.
The we'll known drug firm OF
Hessig. Ellis Drug Company, of
Memphis Tennessee, has sold over
forty carloads since the introduction
of Tanlac in that state four years
ago.
Within the past ninety days, ten
cTrloads Of Tanlac have gone to
supply the demand of British
Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta
and Manitoba, Canada.
The Owl Drug Company of San
Francisco, the largest retail drug
gists on the Pacific Coast, state that
they have sold more than 10000
bottles at retail, which surpasses
the remarkable record of the Jacobs
Pharmacy 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 alb
solute merit and merit alone is re-
sponsibile for its phenomenal and
unprecedented success.
Tanlac is sold by leading drug
gists everywhere.
