American government itself.
1t is known that Premier Poincare

reparations comission have regarded
the plan which Mr.. Boyden sunmitteo

What The Neighbors Say
Great Asset To Tanlac

Thousands of persons have pub
licly testified to the great good
Tanlac has done them. BY word of
mouth and by printed testimonials
they have endorsed the great tonic
and much of the success of the Tan
lac company is due to these persons
passing the good word on to their
neighbors. Over seventy-five thou
sand testimonials are on file in the
Offices of the company. These testi-
monials have been given by people
from every walk of life who were
grateful to Tanlac and wanted to
tell their friends what the medi-
cine had done for them.
In order to get this personal rec
ommendation Tanlac must be
everything that is claimed for it.
This tonic has withstood critical
usage of thousands aud today is
firmly entrenched as the Worlds
Famous Tonic.
