Vital Question to You
Are YOU one Of those thousands Of
mortals who 60 to bed dead tired and
worn out? Do you hrmly believe your
digestion Is as good a. It ought to be

1 are not getting your moneys worth
! out OF what you eat.
| Explaining the Cause
| You are one OF those individual:
! who haven't time to think about
! health. You eat meal too heavy OIL
unsuited to your stomach That mean.
! that either your poor wife, who doesn I
know food values and feeds you &C.
cordingly. or yourself are to blame
| A ma n who eats in a real restaurant Ii
| getting more for his money than mere
meals; he is getting food prepared and
in combinations designed to meet ths
| demands of nature. and as result
| you get more steam pressure out of d
dollar-and- "A half meal than you car

! long enough you'll have bunch OF
| indigestion worries. and right behind
| them come q score OF kidney. nerve
blood, bladder. bowel and liver trou-
bles, because when digestion stops de-
| livering strength to the system the
whole thing breaks down. Isn't thai
common eensef
Now, then, you are bound to get a
smaller and smaller amount of nour
/ ishment as the system grows weaker,
more and more troubles assail you;
your efficiency decreases rapidly. OF
else your awakening comes and you
adopt one OF three plans: You decide
TO ret tonic that will boost you ur
without the aid OF digestion. Or you
decide to tone up the digestive organs
and put nature back on the Job. Or
you abandon those foods the stomach
| refuses to digest easily and stick to the
pre-digested stun. milk toast etc
| What will you do? Inject a tonic
direct into the system, stimulate the
digestion so nature can extract the
nourishment herself. or are you going
| to try and get along on foods that
don't need much digestion?
Whats the Best Way?
!, OF course. Tanlac's reputation is the
best proof of it efficiency. A million
men and women--ten hundred thou
