ABSOLUTE MERIT RESPONSIBLE FUR
 TANLAC'S SUCCESS
Tt Pays to Advertise" But Success Is Impossible
 Without Merit

This is an age of advertising, ana every one is familiar with the popular saying. "It paystto advertiser
 Advertising is a business force. So potent is the charm cast by it's spell 1t has been known to perform marvellous feats and to accomplish phenomenal results.
 It cannot be truly said, however,
 that every one who advertises suc- ceeds. for unless full value underlays
 the article advertised the advertising
 would ultimately fall of it's own
 weight. In this connection we must
 not forget the words of the immortal Lincoln. who said: You can fool some
 of the people all of the time; you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." So if there is not be-
 hind every advertisement dollars and cents value to the article advertised no amount of advertising will stimu- late the sale on such an article beyond a certain point. This applies to every line of business. and the modern busi-
 ness man or firm can only succeed through honest advertising and fair ueallnS.
 Hot air will put up a balloon, but 1t won't keep it there. So, when the man. ufacturers of Tanlac placed it on the market something less than four years ago they did so with the firm conviction that they were offering to
 the people the best and purest product of it's kind on the American market today They did not hesitate. there fore, to expend vast sums for advertis ing. because they knew that the more
 the people heard about Tanlac tho
 more they would buy it. The success the preparation achieved was immediate and people everywhere were quick to recognize it's genuiue merit.
 Tanlac has never been advertised as | a ''cure-a11 or that it would perform
 unheard of wonders. The advertising has been clean, straightforward and
 constructive. Actual facts and figures
 have been stated and stated in a bus- ness-like way in a manner that has commanded confidence in the conserv- | ative claims set forth.
 Underlying these claims there has been real value. not from a dollars and
 cents point alone. but from health as we'll

 Dear Sir: It would be very hard matter for us to write letter express ing just our feelings and experience in regard to Tanlac. We know that the day of miracles Is past, and we all know that there are no unfathomable mysteries in the drug business, and yet this Tanlac proposition smacks of both For one firm to be able to sell at the rate of one carload every two weeks. and for this record to keep up until now we have sold more than thirty carloads. and have three more coming. it is just the least you can say. phenomenal and bewildering.
 Tanlac is giving entire satisfaction to our trade. and it is a constant and regular repeater from the same sources, and our customers write us that their demands are persistent in the way of repeat orders as well as from new users. Yours very truly.

DEMAND FOR TANLAC
 GREATEST IN HISTORY
But Few People Realize the Remarkable Record Medi-
 cine Has Made Success Unprecedented Nothing Like It Has Ever Been Seen Here Before,
 Say Local Dealers

The fame of Tanlac and the remark
 able results 1t has accomplished have
 become a subpect of wide discussion In
 this city and section. In fact. this cell
 ebrated medicine has bfome the sem
 sation of the drug trade throughout
 the entire United States.
 But few people realize what a really made. Indeed, if it were not for the unquestionable facts and figures given out by the best known firms of the country whose statements cannot be doubted, to say nothing of the thou sands of testimonials from we'll known
 men and women which has appeared in the daily press, the story of the suc- cess of Tanlac would be hard to be- lieve
 In referring to the unprecedented de- ! mand for Tanlac well known local dealer said:
 | q have been closely identified with ! the drug trade in this city for num-
 Der of years. and in all of our ex- perience we have never handled any
 thing in the way of a proprietary medi- cine that even approaches Tanlac as a seller. Since its introduction here we have sold at retail right here in our store 2s.676 bottles. and I believe I will | be entirely safe in saying that this | amount of business in so short time l establishes a new sales record for the
 sale of a medicine in this city. Judg-
 ing from the repeat sales and the
 many expressions of satisfaction from
 those who have actually used the medi- 1 cine and who state that they have | been benefited by it, Tanlac must un-
 occasionally be a medicine of unusual
 merit.
 ''The people who buy Tanlac repre- | sent all walks of life, many of them
 being among the best people of our | city, and they nearly always come
 back and buy more and tell of the good | results they have obtained from it's
 use. Tanlac is now a household word
 in this city and section, and the tre
 mendous demand for it seems to con-
 tinue year after year. We are only
 too glad to recommend medicine that | gives such universal satisfaction"

PROMINENT MEN
 OUT FOR TANLAC
Mayors, Judges, Lawyers, Doctors, Editors, Educa-
 tors, Ministers Indorse It

One of the most striking and note- worthy features in connection with the introduction of Tanlac in the south has been the large number of prominent men who have unhesitatngly and vol- untarily come forward and given Tam lac their unqualified indorsement.
 These well known men of affairs represent practically every branch of professional and commercial life, and included in the list appear the names of distinguished supreme court judges. mayors of our leading cities, prominent state and county officials, bankers. lawyers. doctors. editors leading edu- cators, government officials and even ministers of the gospel.
 These men have deemed it their duty to come forward and tell the people what this medicine has done for them, for they have recognized in Tanlac a new discovery and a scientific triumph in the medical world, It is a we'll known fact that these splendid in- dorsements have been given Tanlac time and time again, and they will con- tinue to be given just as often as new tests of it's powers are made. It must be borne in mind. however, that the published testimonials represent only one in a thousand of those who haya been benefited by it's use.
 Among the large number of promi- Hcht IHcH WnOSc nave appeared in the public press within the past few months are the names of such well known and distinguished men as the following:
 Hon. Moses R. Glenn. state superin- tendent of printing. Frankfort, Ky
 pr. c. w De. La Perriere of Win der. Ga. one of the best known phy- sicians and capitalists in the state of Georgia.

HUGE ORDER FOR TANLAC IS GIVEN Big Plant Doubles Capacity. Now Has Daily Output of
 30,000 Bottles

What is probably the largest single order ever given for a proprietary medicine was one for twenty carloads of Tanlac received a few days ago for immediate delivery by the Cooper Ned icine company. from the international distributor in Atlanta.
 Ask the manager of the Cooper Med- icine company at Dayton. O., and he will tell you that there are 1060 dozen of Tanlac to the carload, or 12,720 bot tles This means. therefore, that 254,- 400 bottles will be shipped within the
 next few days to supply the tremend- ous demand. This is in addition to numerous single carload orders re- ceived from the same source during the past thirty days. Although the big Cooper laboratories at Dayton were capable of turning out 15,000 bottles daily, the rapidly in- creasing demand has made it neces- sary to double their capacity and they now have a daily output of 30,000 bot ties. which is probably the largest in this country.

 Gains 15 Pounds

Dr. J. L. F. Brantley, a prominent practicing Atlanta physician, residing at 605 South Pryor street. recently made the following statement regard ing the benefits his wife had derived from Tanlac:
 I'm obliged to think well of medi- cine that accomplished what Tanlac has in my wife's case. She has gained all of fifteen pounds on three bottles. and is now a well woman in every respect.
 She has suffered from indigestion and nervousness since 1909. but she eats anything she wants now and her stomach is all right. Gas has stopped forming and she retains and digests her food properly and has built up wonderfully. The headaches and pains in her back are broken up and she sleeps well every night. I consider her improvement most remarkable, and I can now recommend Tanlac for what it has done for her"

MILLION BOTTLES SOLD IN
 ONLYFOUR YEARS
Birmingham Wholesale and Retail Agents Alone Have
 Sold 1S9,14 Bottles

More like tale from the Arabian Nights of old than the record of a modern business reads the story of the truly marvellous growth and devel- opment of Tanlac. the celebrated medi- cine which has been accomplishing such remarkable results in all parts of the country.
 The first bottle of Tanlac to reach the public was sold just a little over four years ago in the thriving little city of Lexington. Ky. Since that time, there have been sold and distributed
 throughout the United States and Can ada over twelve million bottles, and a romance which perhaps has no parallel in the modern business world was be- gun
 The instant and phenomenal success which Tanlac won in Lexington has been duplicated in practically every largo city, small town. village and | hamlet in North America. The Prov ince of Ontario. Quebec, Alberta, Sas- katchewan and British Columbia have shown due appreciation of Tanlac.
 Hawaii, Alaska, Cuba, Porto Rico and | other foreign countries are clamoring for it. No matter where you go Tan
 lac is household word, and it is now unquestionably the most widely talked of medicine in the world today. Since it's introduction here only three years ago the Doster- No trhington Drug company. exclusive wholesale distributors; Eugene Jacobs Drug Stone and the Patton-Pope Drug com pany, the local retail agents, have sold the astonishing total in this city and | section alone of 1S9,14S bottles. The most noteworthy feature in connec- tion with the wonderful success which | the preparation has achieved lies in | the fact that the local jobbers are st:ll | buying it in solid carload lots, each car containing approximately twelve l to fifteen thousand bottles
