PUBLIC IS TOLD
ABOUT TANLAC
Authorities Vow Show Just What
This Medicine Really Is.

d
announcement was made that Tan
lac now has the largest sale of any
medicine of it's kind in the world.
and 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 phen-
omenal success and why has this
preparation so far out-stripped all
other medicines Of it's kind. 1t Is
only natural therefore that the
manufacturers should offer some
explanation to satisfy public inter
est.
In the first place, Tanlac is man
ufactured in one of the largest and
most modernly equipped labora-
tories in this country. Its formula
is purely ethical and complies with
all national and state pure food
and drug laws. Altogether there
are ten ingredients in Tanlac, each
of which is of recognized Their
apeutic value.
Many of these ingredients have
been individually known and used
since civilization first began. and
some of them have ben used and
prescribed by leading physicians
everywhere, but until they were
brought together in proper proper
ton and association as in the Tan
lac formula, humanity had not
heretofore realized their full value
and effect.
In referring to one of the more
important ingredients OF Tanlac,
the Encyclopedia Britannica says:
1T has long been the source of the
most valuable tonic medicines that
have ever been discovered" In re-
ferring to others of the general
tonic drugs contained in Tanlac the
18th edition of Pottar's Therapeu
tics. a standard medical text book,
states that they impart gener |
tone and strength to the entire sys-
TEN, including all organs and It's
sues"
This same we'll known authority
in describing the physiological &C
ton of still another of the ingredi-
ents of TanIae which is of value
in treating what is commonly
known as "a rundown condition
uses the following expression: 1T
is highly esteemed in loss of ap-
petite during convalescense from
acute diseases
There are certain other elements
in TanaC which because of their
influence upon the appetite, diges-
ton, assimilation and elimination
improve the nutrition and vital &C
t:vity of all the tissues and organs
of the body, and produce that state
of general tonicity 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 inVigor-
ate digestion and thereby increase
the general nutrition. 1t is used in
dyspepsia, chlorosis. anemia and
various other diseases in which the
tone of the stomach aid alimentary
canal is deficient" Concerning
still another ingredient this same
standard authority says: 1T causes
dilation of the gastric blood YES
sells, increases secretion of the gas
trio juice, and causes greater &C
tivity in the movements of the
muscular layers in the walls of the
stomach 1t also tends to lessen
the sensibilitv of the stomach, and
so may relieve gastric pain"
The United States dispensatory
makes the following comment re-
garding another ingredient: 1T
may be uced in all cases of pure
debility of the digestive organs or
where a general tonic impression is
required. Dyspepsia, atomic govt
hysteria. and intermittent fever are
among the many affections n which
it has proven useful"
There are certain ether ingredi-
ents described in the dispensatory
and in other standard medical text
books as having a beneficial &C
ton upon the organs of secretion,
whose proper functioning results
in the publication of the blood
streams passing through them. In
this manner Objectionable and
poisonous ingredients of the blood
are removed, and the entire system
is invigorated and vitalized.
Tanlac was designed primarily
for the correction of disorders of
the stomach, liver and bowels. At
the same time, however, it is
powerful reconstFuctive tonic and
body builder, for it naturally fol-
lows that any medicine that brings
about proper assimilation of the
food and the thorough elimination
of the waste products must there
fore have a far-reaching and most
beneficial effect upon the entire
system.
Although Tanlac's claims for SUI
pTemacy are abundantly supported
by the worlds leading authorities
it is the people themselves who
have really Hode Tanlcc what it
is. Millions upon millions have
used it. and have told other mil
lions what it has done for them.
That is why Tanlac has become the
real sensation of the drug trade in
this country, and that is also why
it is the most widely talked-of
medicine in the world today.
