Best People of Country In- dorse It. Although placed on sale something over five years ago the demand for the celebrated medicine, Tanlac, has increaserd at a most phenomenal rate and announcement has just been made by the manufacturers that the total sales will reach aproximately 20,000,000 bottles by the end of the present year. To say that Tanlac now has the largest sale of any medicine of its kind in the world does not begin to tell the story, for no other prepara- tion has ever even been approached marvelous record that has been made by Tanlac,and it is, now. conserva- tively. estimated that thesales by the end of the coming year will reach the astonishing total of 30,00,000 bottles. Tanlac sales Jast year amounted to /'4,079,948 bottles, establishing a nev world record for the sale of proprie- tary medicine up to that time. This | record now pales into insignificance however, as orders received during the first nine months of the present yedr reached a total of 6,200,000 bot- tles showing an increase of almost 100 per cent. over the coroesponding jclares Mr. McArthur, “tolerates ths | Period last year.
