AMERICANS ARE

Importance Of Health in Social

Determined.
Richmond People Quick to
Take Advantage of New

The American people are waking up
TO tho fact that health is very i'm
portart factor for the successful car
rying on of business or social life In
tho other countries OF the world peo-
pe seem to take better care OF them
selves and attend more to sanitary
conditions than is the case in this
country. But with the advent Of Tan
lac. the new medicine that has caused
"a Juror here in healing so many thou
sands nf people who were sick, men
and women everywhere are coming to
the conclusion that health Is impor-
tant ana that 1t can be easily obtained.
Here In Richmond. Tanlac has done
wonders considering the short time it
has been on sale here and the pro.
grcssive nature Of the people here
was quickly determined In the way
they took mp the remarkable remedy.
1t is this same spirit that has made
Richmond the great city of the South.
one Of the Richmond women to be
benefited by the new medicine is Mrs.
j. Il. Chamberlain. who lives at 16
South I.ombardy Street In recent

from acute indigestion and nervous
ness. had pains all thru my chest
and an accumulation of gas on my
stomach that bothered mo consider
ably. My breath was short and was
so nervous that | could not bear to
even hear the children walk across the
floor l read n Tanlac advertisement.
and the statements Of other people
here who were benefited by 1t APP
pcalcd to me. Since taking Tanlac r
feel lots better and am n great deal
, stronger The pains I used to have
and the gas on my stomach are all
Il thing Of tho past. I don't suffer
from shortness OF breath and I have
not had n nervous spell since. I think
1t is 4 wonderful medicine. and recon-
mend It to every one who is a suf-
| fercr as I was"

The Treatment of

It'll quite refreshing these days to read OF
clearly defined treatment for Influenza or
La Grippe. In an article in the Lancet
Clinic" DR.. James Bell, Of New York City,
says he is convinced that too niue h mcdica-
ton is both unnecessary and injurious.
When called to n case Of In grippe, the
patient is usually seen when the fever il
present, as the chill which occasionally
ushcrs in the disease, has generally passed
away. DR.. Bell then orders that the bowels
DO opened freely with salts. 'Actoids" or
citrate of magnesia. For the high fever,
