Bottles Sold in Four Years Would

| rOuT years ago very lew peOpib
had ever heard of Tanlac-today It
unquestionably has the largest sale
of any medicine in the world, and Is
as well known in Canada as in this
country. In the brief period of only
four years time this now famous
remedy has leaped from obscurity to
the very pinnacle of success. Its
fame in fact, has long since spread
beyond the limits of the continent,
and numerous, inquiries regarding 1t
are now being received from many
foreign countrien.
Very few people, however, fully
realize what 4 really wonderful rec
ord Tanlac has made. Indeed, II it
were not for the unquestionable
facts and figures given out by the
largest and best known drug firms
OF the country the story of its sue
cess would be hard to believa
Up to January first the total sales
of Tanlac amounted to approximate
ly twelve million bottles. The de-
mand, however, is 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 figure
being 1.S06.1S6 in three months.
At this rate, therefore, the sales
for the present year will amount to
more than five million bottles. This
will mean that 1900 bottles Of
Tanlac Will be sold during every
day of the year. or 210o 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 track
Of Tanlac from New York thru Chi
cago, and on to Denver, Colorado;
or they would form double track
Of Tanlac from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf of Mexico. Piled end oil
end they would tower 1876 times as
high as Pixies Peak, or rise 1888
times higher that the Woolworth
Building in New York, the tallest
building in the world.
The demand for Tanlac has be-
come so great that its sales instead
of being measured by the gross as
other preparations have been is now
reckoned by the car load, and even
by the train load. In proof of this
1t is a noteworthy fact that leading
drug jobbers everywhere now buy
Tanlac almost exclusively in car load
lots. To supply the Pacific coast
trade alone requires from forty to
fifty car loads per year. Jobbers of
the Middle West are selling from
seventy to eighty cars per Year.
The well known drug firm of Hes
sig-Ellis Drug Company of Memphis,
Tenn, has sold over forty car loads
since the introduction of Tanlac in
that state four years ago.
Within the past ninety days, ten
car loads of Tanlac have gone to sup
ply the demand of British Columbia,
Saskatchewan, Alberta and Mani
toba, Canada.
The Owl Drug Company Of San
Francisco, the largest retail drug
gists on the Pacific Coast, state that
they have sold more than 100000
bottles at retail, which surpasses the
remarkable record of the Jacobs
Pharmacy Company Of Atlanta, who
have sold approximately $4,000 bot
ties at retail.
Tanlac is composed of the most
beneficial roots and herbs known to
science. The formula complies with
all national and state pure food and
health laws of both the United States
and Canada; and absolute merit and
merit alone is responsible for its
phenomenal and unprecedented suc-i
cess.
