People All Over Georgia Want
To Know What Is Behind the
Phenomenal Success of This
Preparation That Makes 1t The
Worlds Greatest Tonic.

Day after day the great question
is being asked all over Georgia: What
is the reason for the phenomenal sue
cess of TanIac? Why do we hear so
much about it? and, Why do Tan
la csales keep increasing every year,
when other medicines seem to have a
short-lived popularity and are then
forgotten?
The answer is simple enough. The
test of time has proven to people all
over the American continent that
Tanlac always produces most graft
flying results and that the remarkable
relief it brings seems to be more per-
manent than ever before believed
possible.
Tens of thousands of persons, ev-
erywhere, who took it when it was
first introduced six years ago, report
that they are still enjoying excellent
health and millions of American
homes are now using Tanlac as the
Idnllly HfGulCluG NllGI 1lISC Trying
it out thoroughly and proclaim it the
Worlds Greatest Tonic.
Thousands of Georgia men and
women of all ages and in all walks
Of life afflicted with stomach, liver
and kidney disorders, some of them
Of long standing as well as thousands
Of weak, thin, nervous men and Wo-
men apparently on the verge of col

well, yet who suffered with indigcs-

constipation, bad complexion, loss OF

Public is Amazed at
Continued Enormous
Demand for anlac

pihess by taking Tanlac. And what
is true of Georgia is also true OF
every state in the Union and every
province of Canada.
Tanlac has never been advertis-
ed as a cure-all or that it would per
form unheard-of wonders. The ad-
vertising has been clean, straightfoi-
ward and conservative. Actual facts
and figures have been stated in
true, business-like way that. mas com
manded the confidence of al in the
conservative claims set forth.
\ The enormous demand for Taniac
is to merit alone, tor no amount Of
advertising would continue to sell
any article that does not possess veal
merit. Unless full value underlays
tlre article advertised, the advertising
will ultimately fall of its own weight.
You can fool some of the people
some Of The time, but you can't fool
ali of the people all of the time
Tanlac has been well advertised, it
is true, but such a large and rapidly
growing demand could not be brought
about by advertising alone. 1t is
what the people themselves say that
counts, One bottle of Tanlac is sold
in a neighborhood through advertis-
ing, but ten more are sold in that
same community as a result of the
sale Of that first bottle and that is
why Tanlac has succeeded. People
are always willing to talk about their
ailments, but they are more than glad
to tell others Of the medicine thai
helped them 1t is something they
could not keep to themselves if Nley
tried, for the impulse TO sympathize
WitL~your felloWman and want to
help him is one Of the strongest, as
we'll a. ono Of the biggest, things in
human nature.
This IS the 1asya- 81 !.y tae people
Of Georgia, as chose Of every other
section &c the United States and Can
ada, have become to speak Of Tanlac
as the Worlds Greatest Tonic. And
chat is the reason why the demand
for this remarkable medicine has
grown to such proportions that it is
almost impossible to keep dealers
supplied.

The present spot or group of spots on
the face of the sun. estimated by Naval
Observatory officials as $4,000 miles in
length and 81 900 wide, was nearest the
earth last night and to-day. through
rotation of the sun. was moving away
from the solar meridian. Naval Observa-
tory officials said that leaving out of
consideration the decreasing effect of
the spots on electrical currents on the
earth through the usual breaking up of
the spots the regular rotation of the sun
on its axis would within a few days
carry the spots so far from the earth
as to make their influence negligible.
The theory that the aurora borealis

currents" through telegraphic wires, in
terrupting communication. results from
sun spots was advanced by Or. John A.
Brashear. the late Pittsburgh astrono-
mer. The theory never has been def

clals asserted but the fact that spots on
the sun usually are accompanied by
electrical disturbances has resulted in
almost general acceptance of the theory.
