INFLUENZA IS
SPREADING over
entire nation
Persons Weak and Run Down
Easy Victims; Fortify
Yourself Against 1t by
Taking Tanlac.

According to late reports issued
| by State and Federal health authori-
ties the Spanish Influenza epidemic
is rapidly spreading to all parts Of
the country, and it now seems that
practically every state in the Union
will be seriously affected before it
runs it's course.
1t has not only become a great
and terrifying menace to the public
health, but unless checked, it is
apt to seriously affect the progress
of war work in all it's various depart
ments. Already the Shipping
Board has announced that 10 per
cent of it's workers had been af-
fected.
The disease has made its great
est progress in the East, where it
has claimed it's victims by the thou
sands. Reports from other sections,
however, are equally alarming; and
both civil and military authorities
have warned the public to take every
precaution to prevent its further
spread. In many cities schools,
churches and theaters have been
closed and public gatherings of all
kinds forbidden.
Medical authorities agree that
people who are weak and rundown
are the earliest victims of the In
fluenza epidemic. If you find your
self tired, weak and losing flesh, or
if you are in a generally rundown
condition, or if you catch cold east
| ly this warning should be needed
promptly. You are really in great
danger-because the germ Of this
disease is very catching and you are
apt to fall an easy victim if you
cor1e in contact with the germs.
People who are we'll and strong are
not likely to contract the disease
because they are able to throw it
off. The common-sense way to keep
from taking it is to fortify the sys-
tenn against attack by building up
the constitution.
f., In other words to use the old ad-
age, San ounce of prevention is
worth pound Of cure" And if you
are in a sub-noymal condition the
proper thing to do is to begin i'm
mediately to build up your powers
of resistance. To accomplish this,
nothing on earth will strengthen
you and build you up like Tanlac,
the powerful reconstructive tonic,
which contains the very elements
needed by the system to give you
| fighting strength and ward off the
influenza germ.
First of all Tanlac begins its &C
ton by creating a good healthy
appetite for wholesome, riourishing
food, and assists every organ of the
body to perform its natural func-
tions, thus helping to build up
health and strength in the natural
b way.
Tanlac is also the ideal strength
ening tonic for persons who are suf-
fering from the after effects of In
fluenza, Grippe or Bronchial trou-
bles and hundreds of thousands are
using it daily with the most crafty
ing results.
In connection with the Tanlac
treatment, it is necessary to keep
the bowels open by taking Tanlac
Laxative Tablets, samples of which
are included with every bottle of
Tanlac. 1t is also important that
the every day rules of hygiene be
observed; that is, sleep in we'll ven-
tilated rooms, get plenty of fresh
; air and exercise and keep away from
crowds.
