DOESN'T NEED ANY
 LAXATIVES NOW
Mir. Becker says life is a joy without constipation or
 stomach trouble

q had catarrh of the stomach and head for three years. My stomach was so bad that every time l ate anything sweet, such as fruit or pastry, the burning hot water would run out of my mouth I took a laxative every night.
 Since taking Milks Emulsion, my bowels move regularly. l have now taken ten bottles and have gained 101s pounds. All my friends remark how fine am looking. and it seems pleas- ure to live again, without stomach trouble."-Bert Becker, Miami, Ohio.
 Physics usually make slaves out of their users, and weaken the bowels in- stead of correcting them. Stomach trouble in many cases is directly due to constipation.
 Milks Emulsion is Il pleasant, nutri- tive food and a corrective medicine. It restores healthy, natural bowel action, doing away with all need of pills and physics. It promotes appetite and quickly puts the digestive organs in shape to assimilate food. As builder of flesh and strength Milks Emulsion is strongly recommended to those whom sickness has weakened, and is a power full aid in resisting and repairing the effects of wasting diseases. Chronic stomach trouble and constipation are promptly relieved.
 HIS IS tue only SOiiu tUiulSlOu mdue, and so palatable that it is eaten with spoon like ice cream. Truly wonderful for weak, sickly children.
 No matter how severe your case. you are urged to try Milks Emulsion under this guarantee-Take six bottles home with you, use it accordir0to directions and if not satisfied with the results, your money will be promptly refunded Price 75c and s1.50 per bottle.

TANLAC SALES REACH
 TREMENDOUS TOTAL

as orders received during the first nine months of the present year reached a total of 6,200,000 bottles, showing an increase of almost 100 per cent over the corresponding period of last year.
 The enormous and ever-increasing popularity of Tanlac Is the one great outstanding proof of it's merits. The greatest drug firms of the country have voluntarily come forward and stated in plain, cold figures the record -br eaking sales everywhere. No medicine of 1tss than superlative quality could possibly attain such a huge sales record nor gain, as has Tanlac the unqualified in dorsement of thousands of well-known men and women from all parts of the country who stand for the best in their communities.
 The greatest test of any medicine is the repeat" sales it enjoys. Tanlac's phenomenal record has been possible because of the fact that the men and women who buy one bottle invariably roturn for the second and recommend it to others because it has helped them. Tanlac has been on the market nov a little over five years. It has stood the acid test of time. It is known and hon ored in every city, town, village and hamlet on the American continent from Key West Florida to the northern wlds of Canada, where even the In- dians and fur-traders have learned of it's wonderful powers as a medicine.
 Tanlac is composed of the most uene- ficial roots and herbs known to the sci entific world. The formula conforms with all national and state pure food and health laws of both the Jnited States and Canada. Although Tanlac's claims for superiority are abundantly supported by leading authorities, it is the people themselves who have made Tanlac what it is.
 Millions upon millions have used it and have told millions of others what it has done for them. That is why Tan lac has become the real sensation of the drug trade all over America.
 ,Tanlac is sold fin Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.,, in Eusley by Ezell Drug Co.,, in Bessemer by Pe- gram Patton Drug Co.,, and in Avondale by Robert w. .Murray.-Adv.

ALL RECORDS SMASHED SAY BIG DRUG FIRMS
Sales for Present Year Show Increase of Almost One Hundred Per Cent Over Corresponding Period of Last Year.

Announcement has just been made by the Doster -Northington Drug Co.,, the well-known wholesale druggists of Birmingham, that they have sold and distributed 217,152 bottles or app- oxi- mately 22 carloads of Tanlac since its introduction in this section about four years ago, breaking all records for the sale of proprietary medicines for the state of Alabama.
 Although placed on sale som Athtag over five years ago, the demand for this celebrated medicine has incr sased at 8 most phenomenal rate and am nouncement has just been made by the manufacturers that the total sales will reach approximately 20,000,000 bottles by the end of the present year.
 To say that Tanlac now has the largest sale of any medicine of it's kind in the world does not begin to tell the story, for no other preparation has ever even approached the marvellous record that has been made by Tanlac, and it is now conservatively estimated that the sales by the end of the coming year will reach the astonishing total of 29,- 900, 900 bottles.
 Tanlac sales last year amounted fo 4.097,94S bottles, establishing hew world record for the sale of proprietary medicines up to that time. This record now pales into insignificance, however,
