Physiological Action of
Principal Ingredients of
Celebrated Medicine on
the Human System Is
Explained
SUPREMACY CLAIMS
WELL SUPPORTED
Many of the Medicinal Ele-
ments Have Been Known
and Used Since Civiliza-
ton First Began

Tanlac. the celebrated medicine
which has been accomplishing such
remarkable results throughout this
country and Canada. is composed OF
the most beneficial roots and herbs
known TO science. The formula Is
purely ethical and complies with all
National and State Pure Food and
Drug Laws. Altogether, there are ten
ingredients in Tanlac, each of which
is OF recognized therapeutic value.
Many OF these ingredients have
been individually known and used
since civilization first began, and
some OF them have been used and
prescribed by leading physicians
everywhere. but until they were
brought together in proper propor-
ton and association, as in the Tanlac
formula. humanity had not hereto
fore realized their full value and
effect.
In referring to ono of the moro i'm
portant ingredients OF Tanlac. the
Encyclopedia Brittnnica says: "It has
been tho source of the most valuable
tonic medicines that have ever been
discovered" In referring to others of
the general tonic drugs contained In
Tanlac, the 18th Edition Of potter's
Therapeutics, standard medical tcyt
book, states that "Thcy import gen
eral tone and strength to the entire

LEADING AUTHORITIES
now SHOW JUST What
TANLAC REALLY is

Tanlac. which is of value in treating
what is commonly known as "a rum
down condition." uses the following
expression: ut is highly esteemed in
loss of appetite during convalescence
from acute Diseases"
There are certain other elements
in Tanlac which, because of their in
fiuence upon the appetite, digestion
assimilation and elimination, improve
| the nutrition and vital activity of the
tissues and more important organs of
the body and produce that state of
general tonicity which is called
Health.
The United States Dispensatory
makes the following comment re-
GardinG another Ingredient: 1T may
be used in all cases of pure debility
of the digestive organs or whore a
general tonic impression is required.
Dyspepsia, atomic govt, hystcria and
| intermittent fever are among the
many affections in which it has
proven useful"
There arc certain other ingredients
described in the Dispensatory and in
other standard medical text books. as
having beneficial action upon the Or
gans of secretion, whose proper func-
| tioning results in the publication of
the blood streams passing through
them. In this manner Objectionable
and poisonous ingredients of the blood
are removed and the entire system
invigorated and vitaliZed.
Tanlac was designed primarily for
the correction of disorders OF the
stomach. liver and bowels. At the
| same time, however, it is a powerful
reconstructive tonic and body builder.
for 1t naturally follows that any medi-
cine that brings about proper assimi-
lation of the food and thorough
elimination of the waste products
must, therefore. have a far-reaching
and most beneficial effect upon the
entire system.
| Although Tanlac's claims for SUI
premacy are abundantly supported by
the worlds leading authorities, IL is
| tho people themselves who have real
ly made Tanlnc what 1t is. Millions
upon millions have used 1t with graft
| flying results. and have told other
millions what i. has done for them.
That is why. Tanlac has become the
real sensation of tho drug trade in
this country and Canada. and that is
also why 1t Is having the largest sale
Of any medicine OF its kind In the
world today.-Adv.
