A Hundred Tongues Too Feeble
to Express Gratitude for New
Preparation Which Has

In all parts OF this city people praise
better health, more strength, more
vigor and amition to work and win.
Merely MISUNDERSTANDING, eating,
sleeping and dragging about from one
spot to another without any real In
terest in life, is not living. To live
means to be thoroughly alive in every
way-to hope happily and confidently,
to have faith In ones fellow men and
ones SELF to have purpose and work
constantly with Joy to accomplish that
purpose.
People without health can not be
thoroughly alive. A part Of them is
not alive. It may be energy that has
passed away, it may be ambition that
is dead, it may be hope that Is asleep.
1t may be that health itself. from
which comes energy. strength and
hope, L. stupefed. Such people, to be-
come thoroughly alive again, must coax
back health-and keep 1t.
Tanlac has helped hundreds Of
thousands Of men and women to coax
back the health which they thought

Enormous Sales Hero.
Tanlac's popularity, consisting OF
more than 5000 bottles right here in
Marshalkown, Is explained by that
statament II has won the public's en-
dorsement and gratitude. 1t has aided
many to be thoroughly alive with new
health and strength.
Tanlac coaxes health In a reasonable
way. It Is especially designed to feed
while 1t heels sore, sick Stomachs, and
thus to build health and strength thru
the stomach, blood and nerves.
For just as health Is the source Of
energy, ambition and sense Of power
that enables men and women to hope
and work and win, SO the stomach Is
the source Of health. With that idea
Tanlac was compounded by shillful
chemists whose aim was to produce
a preparation to tone sick and weak

Tanlac Is purely vegetable. 1t is
