Fame f the Medicine Spreads
Over Whole Nation Now Sold
From Coast to Coast.
Never before, perhaps, in all his
tory has the demand for a proprie
tary medicine ever approached the
wend; fa record that is now being
ma-ie by Tanlac, the celebrated medi
cine which has been accomplishing
such remarkable results in all parts
of the country.
From coast to coast and from tne
Gulf to the Great Lakes, Tanlac is
known and honored. Millions have
liken it and have pronounced it the
greatest medicine ever given to the
people, and the only explanation ot
Tanlac's triumph in the medical world
is Tanlac's true worth. Back ot tan
lac's triumph in the drug stores is
Teniae's triumph in the homes, it is
the people's medicine and the people
them:--Ives have made Tanlac what
it is.
No matter where you go, Tanlac is
a household word and it is unquestion
ably the most widely talked-of medi
cine in the world today. One person
invariably tells another about a medi
cine that helps him and in this way
scores or even hundreds may hear of
Tanlac as a direct result of one bottle
in a single home.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just a little over
three years ago in the thriving little
city of Lexington, Ky.. where 20,000
bottles of the medicine were sold in
only a few months. Since that time
there have been sold throughout the
United States something over ten
million bottles, and a romance which
has no parallel in the modern busi
ness world has begun.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won in Lexington has
been duplicated in practically every
large town, small town, village and
hamlet in North America, Hawaii,
Alaska, Cuba, Porto Rico and other
American possessions have clamored
for Tanlac.
Just a few months ago, it was an
nounced in the Atlanta papers that
twenty-two carloads, 265,470 bottles
of Tanlac had been sold through the
Atlanta office alone. Since that time,
2,234,524 bottles have been sold, and
the grand total now stands at over
two million and a half bottles.
These are actual figures, and the
fact that two hundred and fifty-eight
carloads of Tanlac have been sold and
shipped into the South and West
since the first day of October, 1915,
is a matter of record and can easily
be verified.
One retail firm alone, the Jacobs'
Pharmacy Co., of Atlanta, have sold
the astonishing total of 75.000 bottles
vithin the past twelve months. What
is true cf Atlanta is also true of prac
tically every large city of the South
and West, where the sales have been
correspondingly large.
The greatest drug firms of the
country have voluntarily come for
ward and stated in plain, cold figures,
the record breaking sales, everywhere,
ras is evidenced by the startling sales
-records shown in the following fig
ures: Texas and Oklahoma dealers have
sold in only five months time the as
tonishing total of approximately five
hundred thousand bottles or an aver
age of 100,000 bottles per month,
A BOND IN EVERY HOME.

Jno. M. Sott & Co. and Dr. T. C.
Smith Co. Get Wholesale
Agencies.
"The wholesale distributing agency
for Tanlac in the North Carolina ter
ritory has been awarded to Jno. M.
Scott & Co., Charlotte and Dr. T. C.
Smith Co., Asheville," said E. C. Har
ris, representing the International dis
tributor of Tanlac, a few days ago.
"These firms," continued Mr. Harris,
"gave their order for an entire car
load of Tanlac several weeks ago and
have just received same. This car
comprises 1,060 dozen, 12,720 bottles,
and is without doubt, the largest order
ever given by North Carolina dealers
for a new preparation, but having
heard through absolutely reliable
source of the remarkable and rapidly
growing demand fcr Tanlac in other
cities, these firms did not nesitate to
place an order for the above amount.
"In only a few weeks' time Tanlac
will be placed on sale in practically
every large city, town, village and
hamlet in the state of North Carolina.
"A number of agencies already have
been established in a very limited
time, but it is my desire that the dis
tribution he made more complete and
far-reaching.
"With this end in view, I take this
means of notifying druggists and
dealers who are interested to write or
telegraph G. F. Willis, Fourth Nation
al Bank Bldg., Atlanta, Ga."
smashing all world's records.
Memphis jobber and retailers have
sold since April 3. 1916, 343,560 bot
tles. Atlanta jobber and retailer have
sold since October 16, 1915, 186,480
bottles.
Birmingham jobber and retailers
have sold since August 18, 1915, 158,
976 bottles.
Nashville jobber and retailer have
sold since August 11, 1915, 165,756
bottles.
Macon jobber and retailer have sold
since November 17, 1915 126,036 bot
tles. Jacksonville jobber and retailer have
sold since January 22, 1916, 66,696
bottles.
Montgomery jobber and retailer
have sold since January 19, 1916, 80,
784 bottles.
"These enormous sales," said G. F.
Willis, International Distributor of
Tanlac, "mean but one thing, and that
is merit. Tanlac Is well advertised,
it is true, but such a large and rapid
ly growing demand could not be
brought about by advertising alone.
It's what the neighbors say that
counts. One bottle is sold in a neigh
borhood through advertising, but ten
more are sold in that community after
the first bottle produces results."
Tanlac is now sold exclusively in
Lumber ton by the Pope Drug Co.;
Inc.; in St. Pauls by the Grantham
Drug Co.; in Lumber Bridge by ti.e
Central Drug Co.; in Red S; rings

and social fabric of the nation will be
torn to pieces. Wise is the man who
prepares for that day by putting his
money in bonds. The country after
the war is going to stagc-r under a
burden of taxation. The Government
will have to find something to vstSce
the place of liquor, which furnished
half the taxet. in normal times but
now is f-one, thank God, and railroads,
which he predicted the Government
would keep and which would be free
from "taxation. Only land, personal
property and incomes will remain to
be taxed. What is going to be the
plight of the man who has not sense
and patriotism enough to put his mon
ey in bonds, free from taxation, where
he will be safe no matter what storms
of taxation and burdens of panic
come.
No Parties in This War.
Some men may say this is a Demo
cratic war. That is not so. In this
war the Republican party has loyally
stood by the Presdent and the Demo
cratic party until tnere is only on
party so far as the war is enncerner
When some Democrats balked and re
belled at the draft bill and the lb
year limit, Republicans helped to put
those measures through. Judge Jeter
C. Pritchard, the ablest man western
North Carolina has produced since
Vance, has gone all over that part of
the State in support of war measures.
As Aaron and Hur upheld the hands
of Moses, even so have both Republi
cans and Democrats upheld the hands
of the President in this war.
Got 'Em on the Run.
Some may say we've got 'em on the
run now and don't need to buy bonds.
There is no doubt of ultimate victory,
but the war is not over by any means.
We are fighting a determined foe, and
there will be no peace until he is
beaten to exhaustion no peace until
we get peace by complete victory
there will be no conference with the
German emperor, the Allies will de
termine what shall be his fate for his
crimes.
Fixing Price of Cotton.
If the Government fixes the price
of cotton we may be sure that it is
done because it is necessary, and
should not complain. Over the pro
test of the West the price of wheat
was fixed, but they did not sulk and
have loyally supported every Liberty
loan. We can trust President Wilson
and are willing to follow him through
to the end, whether he fixes the price
of cotton or not which statement was
greeted with hearty applause.
Bonds Below Par.
Some may argue that bonds of last
issue are only selling for $95. This is
only the operation of the old law of
supply and demand, there are more
bonds than the market will absorb un
der present conditions. English con
sols have sold at 50, French bonds at
30, and yet they have been redeemed
at par. During the Civil war U. S.
bonds went to 75, and when the war
was over they shot up. You can get
your money at any bank. 3 1-2 per
cents are now above par. Some men
may ask, Why subscribe now wnen
they may be able to buy later at 95?
That is just the difference between a
patriot and a bond broker, if any
man pulls that, said Mr. Lawrence,
don't sell him a bond, but give me his
name and I will pillory him all over
the county and make his name a by
word and a hissing.
Not Able to Buy Bonds.
We are able to do everything else,
we have cut off none of our amuse
ments. People ride on Pullmans more
than ever, in spite of the extra co&t.
Riding on one the other day he heard
a woman talking about the sacrifices
she was making, and he looked a lit
tle higher than her Trilbys and she
had on silk stockings. We seem to
think we have nothing to do buz have
a good time. None of us has made
