WORLDS RECORD
BROKEN BY TANlAC
Over One Million Bottles
Sold First Ten Weeks
of This Year.

Tanlac has brought new romance
to the commercial world. It is the
story of an acceptance and apprecia-
ton of merit never before attained
by a proprietary medicine. Staid
business men to whom the actual
figures of the production of Tanlac
have been presented have secuted
them until the proof was shown. The
production Of Tanlac now stands at
the rate of almost four million bottles
per year. The exact figures are $685.
800. The sale of a million bottles in
the first nine months, which far ex-
ceeded any record ever made by a
proprietary medicine, now seems in
significant. ...s.
OVER $1,000 BOTTLES A DAY.
Sales this year bid fair to smash
all previous records, as the sale for the
first ten weeks Of this year amounted
to over one million bottles, an average
OF over one hundred thousand bottles
per week, which is at the rate of more
than seventeen thousand bottles per
day. 1t seems almost incredible, but
these are actual figures and such is
the record established by this wonder
full medicine.
zone firm alone" said Mr.. G. F..
Willis, the international distributor
of Tanlac, "has given orders for a
total of 100000 bottles within eighteen
months time. The firm I refer to is
the Spurlock-Neal Co., of Nashville,
Tenn. Mr.. C. S. Martin, president of
this great firm, who is also president
of the Southern Drug Jobbers' asso-
citation, will verify thas statement.
"Tanlac is the result of many years
of arduous study by Mr.. Cooper and
his principal chemist. In fact, the two
of them have carefully watched it's de-
velopment from the beginning of the
experimental stage to it's present state
: OF efficiency. So remarkable have
been the results obtained from this
: medicine that I doubt seriously if
either of these men realize the i'm
mensity of their success. Like many
- other great discoveries, it has required
! time to prove it's far-reaching effects"

Hurdles for the Realist

In your book column this morning
you have devoted some space, notice,
to discussion of realistic dialogue
In reading it the point occurred to me
whether it is possible for any writer
to stick to realistic dialogue continu-
ally. 1t seems to me that any novelist
must of necessity do two things in his
conversation. He must make the
reader understand what the character
speaking means, which he accom-
plishes by putting clear, well-formed
sentences in his mouth, and he must
keep any discussion between the char
actcrs close enough to the main track
50 that the reader can understand
whatever result it brings. Now. in
real life most of US have not the art
OF using clear, well-formed sentences
in our conversation. We use express
sions like II mean to say" that is,"
81 can't just think of the right word" !"
etc, continually, more often than we
frequently ourselves realize. And in
any discussion between ordinary NOR
tails the subject jumps from the main
track and back. in way that is be-
wldering enough in real life and would
be also boring in novel. How is the
novelist to overcome this difficulty ?
Possibly by saying that such people
as most of us are not worthy Of a
place in a novel. But if so what be-
comes Of realism in literature7
