DO YOU REALIZE THAT
RED BLOOD IS LIFE?

One of the first signs of disease
is weakness and loss of flesh and one
of the first signs of returning health
is gain in weight and strength.
This weakness and low vitality
simply means that certain substances
which go to make up the blood have
become exhausted; and, to renew
flesh muscle and strength, these
substances must be restored.
Tanlac is composed of roots, barks.
herbs and flowers which aid the
stomach to properly digest food, to
supply the blood with nourishment.
This in turn, supplies vitality to the
nerves, kidneys, liver and other or
gans. Thus it can be seen how q
tonic works-how it gives you
health and vigor-how it quiets the
nerves, crying for food, and thereby
produces healthful restful sleep.
Tanlac is being introduced in Leon
at Bell & Painters.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-09-28

1t has been said that the Blood is
Life
The blood receives every particle
of nourishment from the food and
conducts it to the various hooks and
corners in the system. It is evident
that in order to have health and
strength of body, there should be a
free and full distribution of this
fluid and it must, be pure and rich
in it's flesh and muscle-making quail
titles.
Disease has small effect on a per-
son who has a sufficient quantity Of
rich, pure blood.
For example: Let a man whose
blood is in good condition meet with
an accident and get bruised, burned
or cut. The injury soon heals up and
is forgotten. But if the blood Is
poor, his bruise may turn into a can
Ger and his burn or cut into the
worst kind of an ulcer.
