Vertising has been clean, straight
forward and conservative. Actual
facts and figures have been stated
and stated in a true. business-liko
way that has commanded the conf
dence of all in the conservative
claims set forth.
The enormous demand for Tan
lac is due to merit alone, for EC
amount of advertising would con
tinue to sell any article that does
not possess real merit. Unless full
value underlays the article adver
used. the advertising will ultimate
~ fall of its 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 rap
idly growing demand could not be
brought about by advertising alone
1t is what the people themselves
say that counts. One bottle of Tam
lac is sold IN a neighborhood by ad-
vertising, but ten more are sold IL
that same community as a result of
the sale of that first bottle and that
is why Tanlac has succeeded. Pee
pie are always willing to talk about
their ailments, but they are more
than glad to tell others of the med
cine that helped them. 1t is some
thing they could not keep to them
selves if they tried, for the impulse
to sympathize with your felIowrnan
and want to help him is one of the
strongest, as well as one of the
things in human nature.
That is the reason why the peo-
pie OF every section of the United
States and Canada, have become to
speak of Tanlac as the Worlds
Greatest Tonic And that is the
reason why the demand for this re-
markable medicine has grown to
such proportions that it is almost
to keep dealers supplied.

People All Over America
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 be-
ing asked all over the United States
and Canada: What is the reasons
for the phenomenal success of Tan
lac? Why do we hear so much
about it? and, Why do Tanlac sales
keep increasing every year, when
short-lived popularity and are then
forgotten?
The answer is simple enough.
The test of time has proven to peo-
pie all over the American CONT
nent that Tanlac always produces
most gratifying results and that
the remarkable relief it brings
seems 20 be more permanent than
ever before believed possible.
Tens of thousands of persons,
everywhere, who took il when it
was first introduced six years ago,
report that they are still enjoying
excellent health and millions of
homes are now using
Tanlac as the family medicine after
first trying it out thoroughly and
proclaim ii the Worlds Greatest
Tonic
Thousands of men and women of
all ages and in all walks of life af-
fiicted with stomach, liver and
kidney disorders, some of them of
long standing. as well as thousands
of weak, thin, nervous men and
women apparently on the verge OF
collapse have testified publicly that
they have been fully restored to
their normal health, strength and
weight by its use.
Still others. who seemed fairly
