People All Over Ameri "a Want to Know What Is Behind the Phenomenal Success of This Prepara- ton That Makes It the
 Worlds Greatest Tonic.

Day after day the question Is being asked all over the United States and Canada; WbsE is the reasons for the phenomenaFsu success of Tanlac7 Why do we hear so much about 1t? and, Why do Tanlac sales keep increasing every year. when other medicines seem to have short-lived popularity and are then forgotten?
 The answer is simple enough. The test of time has proven to people all over the American continent that Tanlac always produces most gratify ing results and that the remarkable relief it brings seems to be more per manent than ever before believed possible.
 Tens of thousands of persons, ev- anywhere, who took 1t when it was first introduced six years ago, report that they are still enjoying excellent health and millions of American homes are now using Tanlac as the family medicine after first trying if out thoroughly and proclaim it tine Worlds Greatest Tonic
 Thousands of men and women of all ages and in all walks of life afflicted with stomach, liver and kidney dis orders, some of them of long stand ing, as well as thousands of weak. thin, nervous men and women .appar- ently on the verge of collapse have testified publicly that they they have been fully restored to their normal health, strength and weight by it's use.
 Still others. who seemed fairly well, yet who suffered with indigestion, headaches, shortness of breath. dizzy spells. sour, gassy stomach, coated tongue. foulness of breath, coMtipa- ton, bad complexion, loss of appe- tite, sleeplessness at night and terri

Public Is Amazed at
 Continued Enormous
 Demand for Tanlac

bly, dejected. depressed feelings. state that they have been entirely relieved of these distressing symptoms and re- stored to health and happiness by taking Tanlac.
 Tanlac has never been advertised as cure-all or that it would per form unheard-of wonders. The as- Yertisin,g has been clean, straightfor- ward and conservative. Actual facts and figures have been stated and stated in true, business-like way that has commanded the confidence of all in the conservative claims set forth.
 The enormous demand for Taniac is due to merit alone, for no amount of advertising would continue to sell any article that does not possess real merit. Unless full value underlays the article advertised, the advertising will ultimately fall of it's own weight You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.'
 Tanlac has been well advertised 1t is true. but such a large and rapidly growing demand could not be brougnt about by advertising alone. It is what the people themselves say that counts. One bottle of Tanlac is sold in a kt but ten more are sold In that same community as a result of the safe of that first bottle and that is why Tan lac has succeeded. People are always willing to talk about their ailments but they are more than glad to tell others of the medicine that helped them. It is something they could not keep to themselves if they tried, for the impulse to sympathize with your fellowman and want to help him is one of the strongest, as well as one of the biggest. things in human na- ture
 That is the reason why the people Of every section of the United States and Canada have become to speak of Tan1ae as the Worlds Greatest Tonic. And that is the reason why the de- mand for this remarkable medicine has grown to such proportions that It Is almost impossible to keep dealers supplied.
 Tanlac Is sold In Birmingham by the Eugene Jacobs drug store.-Ady.

 By his clean living and abstaining from all forms of dissipation he lived to ripe old age. He had always en- joyed fine health and had more vigor than many men one-half his age.
