"Tanlac Man,

Higher medical authorities assert
that auto-intoXiCation is the fOunda
ton Of most ailments and diseases.
This condition" says ". B. McPher-
son, "Tanlac Man" for Illinois, rs
nothing more or less than the slow,
self-poisoning of vital organs-pro-
duced by the excessive mental and
physical strain we are forced to en-
dure, which renders the organs lame
and permits toXins-actual poisons-
to be generated within ones own
body
Sometimes the trouble starts in
the kidneys and sometimes it starts in
the stomach or elsewhere But in any
case the blame lies with the faulty
methods Of living, and it is the more
important organs that suffer the final
damage. And when they falter or fail
in their duties. the body fills up with
pOisons and the victim finally yields
TO their baneful effect. Bright's dis
ease, stomach and intestine! troubles,
catarrhal affections Of the mucous
membranes, in fact, may be called
auto-intoxication. or self-poisoning.
"A tired, dragging feeling of the
body, or sluggish mind and dull mem
DRY, intense nervousness, headaches.
stomach and bowel troubles, poor cir
culation, imperfect digestion, consti-
patton and dependency, are common
symptoms Of poisoning, and nine
out Of every ten people in the average
American city like Rock Island is
likely to be SO affected"
In this connection, Colonel joseph
Coyne Of Louisville, KY, one of the
most prominent general contractors
in the United States, says:
"a condition Of my kidneys has an

in walking and using my hands with
