The first bottle of Tanlac to reach the public was sold just little over six years ago. Its success was imme- diate and people everywhere were quick to recognize it as a medicine of extraordinary merit. Since that time there have been sold throughout this country and Canada something over Twenty Million (2O,OOO,OOO) bottles, es- tablishing a record which has probably never been equalled in the history of the drug trade ia 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 it..
 From coast to coast and from Great Lakes to the Gulf, Tanlac is known and honored. Millions have taken it with the most gratifying and astonish-

ing results and have pronounced it the greatest medicine of all time.
 Tens of thousands of men and wOEn- en of all ages in all walks of life, af- ficted with stomach, liver and kidney disorders, some of them of long stand ing, as we'll as thousands of weak, thin, nervous men and women apparently on the verge of collapse, have testified that they have been fully restored to their normal weight, health and strength by its use.
 Restored to Health.
 Still others, who seemed fairly well, yet who suffered with indigestion, headaches, shortness of breath, dizzy spells, sour, gassy stOmachs, coated tongues, fOulness of breath, cOnstipa- tion, bad complexion, loss of appetite, sleeplessness at night and of terribly dejected, depressed feelings, state that 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 everywhere.

They were: "Ask and ye shall receive; seek and ye shall find" Sunday morning Edward reported to his mother letter perfect-as they say backstage. An hour later his teacher called the roll.
