the greatest medicine of all time.
Tens of thousands of men and wom-

fiicted with stomach, liver and kidney
disorders, some of them of long stand
ing, as well as thousands Of weak, thin,
nervous men and women apparently on
the verge of collapse, have testified

their normal weight, health and
strength by its use.

detected depressed feelings, state that
they have been entirely relieved Of
these distressing symptoms and re-

use of Tanlac.
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
everywhere.

The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just little over
six years ago. It's success was imme-
date and people everywhere were
quick to recognize 1t as a medicine Of
extraordinary merit. Since that time
there have been sold throughout this
country and Canada something over
Twenty Million (20,0OO,OO0) bottles, es-
tablishing a record which has probably
never been equalled in the history of
the drug trade In America.
Fame Is International.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won when it was first
introduced has been extended to prac-
ideally every large city, small town,
village and hamlet in North America.
Its fame has become international In
its scope and England, Japan, Mexico,
Cuba, Hawaii, Alaska, Porto Rico and
many European countries are clamor-
ing for It.
From coast to coast and from Great
Lakes to the Gulf, Tanlac is known
and honored. Millions have taken 1t
