ALL ABOUT 7ANLAC
Auth critics Now Show Just What
This Medicine
Really Is.

In recent issue of this paper an
nouncement was made that Tanlac
now has the largest sale of any meui-
cine of its 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 mlnu
of the reader why this phenomenal
success and why has this preparation
so far out.stripped all other medl-
cines Of its kind. 1t is only natural
therefore that the manufacturers
should offer some explanation to satls-
fly public interest.
In the first place, Tanlac is manu-
featured in one Of the largest ana
most modernly equipped laboratories
in this country. It's formula is purely
ethical and complies with all ma
tional and state pure food and drug
laws. Altogether there are ten IN
gradients IN Tanlac, each OF which Is
OF recognized therapeutic value.
Many Of these ingredients have been
individually known and used since
civilization first began, and some OF
them lave been used and prescribed
by leading physicians everywhere
but until they were brought together
in proper proportion and association
as in the Tanlac formula, humanity
had not heretofore realized their fun
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 refer
ing to others of the general tonic
drugs contained in Tanlac the loth
Edition of Potters Therapeutics,
standard medical text book, states that
they impart general tone anu
strength to the entire system, 1nciuo-
ing all organs and tissues.
This same well-known authority IN
describing the physiological action Oh
still another of the ingredients OF ran
lac which is Of value in treating what
is commonly known as "a rundown
condition uses the following expires.
sion: 1T is highly esteemed In loss Oh
appetite during conyalescense from
acute diseases"
There are certain other elements IN
Tanlac which because of their In
fluence upon the appetite, digestion,
assimilation and elimination improve
the nutrition and vital activity or 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 invigorate digestion
and thereby increase the general nu-
triton. 1t is used in dyspepsia,
chlorosis. anemia and various other
diseases in which the tone OF the
stomach and alimentary canal is de-
ficient.' Concerning still another IN
gredient this same standard authority
saws. at causes dilation of the gastric
blood vessels, increases secretion OF
the gastric juice, and causes greater
activity in the movements OF the
muscular layers in the walls OF the
stomach. It also tends to lessen the
sensibility of the stomach, and so may
relieve gastric pain.
The United States dispensatory
makes the following comment regard
ing another ingredient: ut may be
used in all cases of pure debility OF
the digestive organs or where gen
eraI tonic impression is required Dys-
pepsia. atomic govt, hysteria, and in
termittent fever are among the many
affections in which it has proven use
full"
There are certain other ingredients
described in the Dispensatory and in
other standard medical text books as
having a beneficial action upon the
organs of secretion, whose proper
fInctioning 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 sys-
tenn is invigorated and vitalized.
Tanlac was designed primarily for
the correction of disorders or the stem
ach, liver, and bowels. AT the same
time. however, it Is a powerful re-
constructive tonic and body builder.
for it naturally follows that any medi-
cine that brings about proper assfmi-
Iation of the food and the thorough
elimination of the waste products
must therefore have far-reachfng and
most beneficial effect upon the entire
system.
Although Tanlac's claims for supre-
macy are abundantly supported by the
worlds leading authorities, 1t is the
people themselves who have really
made Tanlac what it is. Millions upon
millions have used it. and have told
other millions what it has done for
them. That is why Tanlac has be-
come the real sensation of the drug
trade in this country, and that is also
why 1t is the most widely talked-of
medicine in the world today.
