SPANISH INFLUENZA
RAPIDLY SPREADING
Persons Weak and Rundown
Easy Victims-Fortify Your
self Against 1t By Taking
T,anlac

ka0laC.
According TO late reports isSu-
ed by State and Federal health
authorities the Spanish In
tiuenZa epidemic Is rapidly
spreading Of all parts OF the
country, and it now seems that
practically every State in the
Union viii be seriously affected
before 1t runs its course.
1 1t has not only become a great
and terrifying menace TO the
public health, but unless check
ed, it Is apt to seriously affect
the progress OF war work In all
its various departments. Al
ready the Shipping Board has
announced that ten per cent OF
its workers had been affected.
The disease has made its
greatest progress In the East
where it has claimed its victims
by the thousands. 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 theatres
have been closed and public
gatherings of all kinds forbid
den.
Medical authorities agree that
people who are weak and run
down are the earliest victims of
the Influenza epidemic. If you
find yourself tired, weak and los
ing flesh, or if you are in a gene
rally rundown condition, or if
you catch cold easily this warn
ing 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 come |
in contact with the germs. |
People who are well and strong
are not likely to contract the di- |
sease because they are able to
throw it off. The common-sense
way to keep from taking it is to
fortlfy the system against at
tack by building up the consti-
tuition.
In other words to use the old
adage. AN ounce of prevention
Is worth a pound of cure" And
if you are in a Sub-normal condi-
tion the proper thing to do is to
begin Immediately to build up
your powers of resistance. To
accomplish this, nothing on
earth will strengthen you and
build up like Tanlac the power
full reconstructive tonic, which
the elements needed by
the system to give you fighting
strength and ward off the in
fiuenza germ.
First of all Tanlac begins its
action by creating a good heal
thy appetite for wholesome,
nourishing food, and assists
every organ of the body to per-
form its natural functions, thus
helping to build up health and
strength in the natural way.
Tanlac is also the ideal streng-
thening tonic for persons who
are suffering from the after af-
fects of Influenza, Grippe or
Bronchial troubles and hundreds
If thousands are using it daily
With the most gratifying results. !
In connection with the Tanlac
treatment, it is necessary to
Keep the bowels open by taking
ranlac Laxative Tablets, sam
,les of which are included with
every bottle of Tanlac. 1t is al
70 important that the every day /,
-ules of hygiene be observed;
hat is, sleep in well ventilated
'ooms, get plenty of fresh air !
md exercise and keep away from
rowds.
