WORLDS RECORD Is
BROKEN BY TANLAC
Bottles Sold in -Four Years
Would Reach From New
York to Denver, Colo.

/ Four years ago very few peopl,
had ever heard OF Tanlac, Today
1t unQuestionably has the largest
sac of any medicine In the world
and is as we'll known In Canada al
in this country. In the brief period
of only four years time this nov
famous remedy has leaped from OBJ.
security to the very pinnacle OF sue
cess. Its fame In fact, has long
since spread beyond the limits Of the
continent, and numerous INQUIRIES
regarding | are now being received
from many foreign countries.
Very few people. however. fully
realize what q really wonderful rec
ord Tanlac has made. Indeed, II Il
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
be hard to believe.
Up to January first the total sales
OF Tanlac amounted to approximate
ly twelve million bottles. The de-
mand, however, ia 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 figures
being l,30S,lS6 In three monhs.
At this rate. therefore, the sales
for the present year will amount to
more than five million bottles. This
VIII mean that 1900 bottles OF Tan
lac win be sold during every day of
the year, or 2100 bottles for every
hour OF the average working day.
These figures are too stupendous
for the average mind to grasp, but
one may visualize what twelve mil
lion bottles mean by imagining them
laid out In a single file end to end.
Thus laid they would make q track
OF Tanlac from New York through
Chicago. and on to Denver. Colorado;
or they would form q double track
of Tanlac' from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf OF Mexico. Piled end on
end they would tower 1876 times an
high as Pixies Peak, or rise 1888
times higher than the Woolworth
building In New York, the Gallest
building in the world.
The demand for Tanlac has become
so great that its sale instead of be-
ing measured by the gross as other
have been, is now reck-
oned by the carload, and even by the
In proof Of this Il Ia a
noteworthy fact that the leading
drug jobbers everywhere now buy
Tanlac almost exclusively In carload
lots. To supply the Pacific Coast
trade alone requires from forty to |
ftfty carloads per year. 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, |
Tenn, has sold over forty carloads |
since the introduction OF Tanlac in |
that state four years ago.
Within the past ninety days, ten
carloads Of Tanlac have gone to sup
ply the demand of British Cohlm- |
bia. Saskatchewan. Alberta and Mani
Loba. Canada.
The Owl Drug Company of San
the largest retail drug
sists on the Pacific Coast, state that |
they have sold more than 10000 |
bottles at retail. which surpasses
he remarkable record Of the Jacobs
Pharmacy Company OF Atlanta, who |
have sold approximately 10000 bot
les at retail.

Ill national and state pure food and |
health laws OF both the United
states and Canada; and absolute
merit and merit alone 10 responsible
