Reach From. New York to

Four years ago very few people
had ever heard of Tanlac. Today It
unquestionably has the largest sale
of any medicine in the world, and il
; 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. It's fame
in fact, has long since spread beyond
the limits of the continent. and num-
erous inquiries regarding it are now
being received from many foreign
countries.
: Very few people, however, fully
realize what really wonderful re-
cord Tanlac has made. Indeed, if it
were not for the UNREASONABLE facts
and figures given out by the largest
and best known drug films of the
country the story Of its 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 is increasing, for dur
ing the first ten weeks of this year
over one million bottles. were sold
and distributed in the United States
and Canada, the exSct figure being
1,306,186 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 $1,000 bottles of Tan
lac will 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 track
of Tanlac from New York through
Chicago, and on to Denver, Colorado;
or they would form double track
of Tanlac from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf of Mexico. Piled end on end
they would tower 1876 times as high
as Pixies Peak, or rise 1888 times
higher than the Woolworth Building
in New York, the tallest building in
the world.
The demand for Tanlac has become
so great that its sale instead of being
measured by the gross as other pre-
parations have bean, is now reckoned
bv the carload, and even by the train
load. In proof of this it is note
worthy fact that the leading drug
gist 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.
Tennessee, 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 Manito-
ba, Canada.
The Owl Drug Company of San
Francisco; the largest retail druggists
on the Pacific Coast, state that they
have sold more than 100000 bottles
at retail, which surpasses the remark
able record of the Jacobs Pharmacy
Company of Atlanta, who have sold
approximately 10000 bottles at re-
tail.
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 sue
tcess.
