The revenue bill. though there is
likelihood that it will be reported

the Senate in this instance probably
cannot be driven.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
STRIKES SUDDENLY
Pneumonia Often Results Vic
Tins Seized Without Warn
ing, Making Precaution
DoubIy Necessary,

Much of the difficulty experienced
by health authorities in checking the
spread of the Spanish influenza lies
i'm the fact that it strikes its victim
without warning.
Although state and federal authori-
ties are taking every possible precau-
ton in their effort to stop the spread
of the epidemic, the disease in many
sections of the country has gotten en-
tirely beyord control and is claiming
its victims by the thousands.
1t is universally agreed by all we'll
informed persons that the surest pre-
ventative is to get the system in the
best possible condition in order to he
able to throw off the infection. AS
has been previously stated 1t is posi-
be to perfect the powers of resistance
of the human system so that ii can
throw off almost any infection, not eX-
cepting Spanish influenza, which is
one of the most contagious diseases
known.
Medical authorities agree that peo-
ple who are weak and rundown are
the earliest victims OF the influenza
epidemic If you find yourself weak
or losing flesh, or if You are in n gem
erally rundown condition, you are
really in great danger if YOU should
ccme in contact with the Influenza
germ.
AS a powerful reconstructive tonic
and system builder. Tanlac is without
equal. This is a statement of facts
ard is fully supported by recognized
authorities According to all accepted
difference works. including the United
states Dispensatory, Encyclopedias
BRITANNICA and leading text hooks used
in the school of medicine, the princi-
pal ingredients of Tanlac possess the
most valuable tonic properties known
10 science This statement is further
proven by the fact that millions Of
persons who have actually taken Tan
lac have testified to its extraordinary
merit as a medicine.
Tanlac restores health and strength
tn the weak and rundown. system by
enabling every organ of the body to
perform its proper function in ma
lures own way. 1t creates healthy
appetite for good nourshing food, and
Is an ideal strengthening tonic for
persons who are in a rur down condi-
ton and who are suffering from the
