The Preface

Is preface exquisitely written
No literary morsel is more delicious.
Is the author inveterately dull? 1t is
a kind of preparatory information,
which may be very useful 1t argues

elaborate preface unread for 1t is the
altar of the authors roses, every drop
distilled at an immense cost. 1t Is

folly of the foolish.-Isaac D'Israeli.

hunting with very little knowledge of

rented it because there were two limou-

that the street was all right. one of
those limousines belongs to n broker

The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just a little over
six years ago. Its success was imme-
date and people everywhere were
quick TO recognize 1t as a medicine of
extraordinary merit. Since hat time
there have been sold throughout this
country and Canada something over
Twenty Million 10000 ,OOO) 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-
tically 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 1t.
From coast to and from Great
Lakes to the Gulf. Tanlac is known
and honored. Millions have taken it
with the most gratifying and astonish-

the greatest medicine of all time.
Tens of thousands of men and wom-
en- of all ages in all walks of life, af-
hicted 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
thai they have been fully restored to
their normal weight, health and
strength by its use.
Restored to Health.
Still others, who seemed fairly well,

spells, sour, gassy stomachs, coated
tongues, foulness of breath, constipa-

sleeplessness at night and of terribly
detected, depressed feelings, state thar
they have been entirely relieved Of
these distressing symptoms and re-
stored to health and happiness by the
use of Tanlac.
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
