The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just little over
six years ago Its success was imme-
date and people everywhere were
quick to recognize it as medicine of
extraordinary merit. Since that time
there have been sold throughout this
country and Canada something over
Twenty Million (20,000,000) bottles,
establishing a record which has prob
ably never been equalled in the his
tory of the drug trade in America.
Fame Is international
The instant and phenomenal sue
cess which Tanlac won when it was
first introduced has been extended to
practically every large CITY, small
town, village and hamlet in North
America. Its fame has become in
ternational in its scope and England,
Japan, Mexico. Cuba, Hawaii, Alaska,
Porto Rico and many European coun-
tries are clamoring for it.
From coast to coast and from the
Great Lakes, Tanlac is known and
honored. Millions have taken it with

Opinion GrOlUs That

Speaking for himself and not as a
O'ROurke indicated that he personally
believes that Wilson is the champion e
HIS class until he is beaten regularly"
That is, until a referees decision, or the
decision Of a referee and two judges set
tie the differences between him and
DOwney.
In other words, the veteran boxing
official thinks the Cleveland commission
should have stood behind Referee Jimmy
Gardner, iDasmuch as they set aside
their rules to permit him to OfflciaJ2.
This opinion is growing among members
Of the boxing fraternity.
Meanwhile Jimmy Dunn, manager OF
Downey. has his fighter here seeking a
match with somebody, and is willing to
take on Wilson If the Charlestown battler
will agree.
Promoter Tex Richard wants to settle
the argument and he has reached terms
with Jim Dunn, the Columbus boy S
manager. Today Richard was trying to
reach Wilson.
Dunn and Downey. who came here
seeking the moral support Of the New
