proposition smacks OF both. For one
Arm to be able to sell at the rate Of

have sold 662,s16 bottles, nearly
thirty-seven cars, is Just the least you

We were appointed exclusive dis

have sold to the retail drug trade
585.114 bottles, and the demand is

Judging from the marked enthusi-

justified in making the prediction
that Tanlac will prove just as sue
