TEXAS DOCTOR
Says TaElac Is Without An
Equal.
Is Best Tonic for Building Up
Influenza Patients.

The following letter from DR.. ]. w.
Sandlin one of the most prominent
physicians of Southern Texas. has
ju-t been received at the Tanlac office
and gives indisputable evidence as to
the value of Tanf4c as a reconstruc-
tive tonic for persons who are re-
cuperating from the after-effects Of
Spanish Influenza. His letter follows:
Humble, Texas. Nov. 5. 1918.
Dear Sir:
lac. / have found your preparation
to be a wonderful reconstructive tonic,
and in my opinion it has no equal in
its line. 1 have found it to be the
best tonic to be had to build up my
patients who have had Spanish In
fluenza. I have treated within the
past month about 1,400 cases, and
have never been able to get sufficient
Tanlac to supply our people.
yours very truly,
Signed. DR.. j. w. Sandlin."
Dr. Sandlin not only enjoys a very
large practice as a physician. but he
is also a man of wide influence and
ranks as a leading citizen of the en-
terprising little city of Humble, Texas.
AS a practicing physician of sixteen
yearS experience DIR. Sandlin was
quick to recognize the superior tonic
properties of Tanlac over other rene
dies and unhesitatngly and voluntar-
lily gave Tanlac his unqualified in
dorsement.
Although the influenza epidemic
has greatly subsidized It is still preva
lent, and is breaking out anew in
many sections of the country, and con-
tinues to claim its victims by the
thousands. ...
Persons who have. had influenza
are oftentimes left in very weak
ened, rundown condition and unless
the greatest care is taken, both as to
are apt to follow. Persons who have
had it are more apt than ever to have
it the second time. If you are in this
condition nothing on earth will build
you up and strengthen you like Tan
lac, which contains the most powerful
tonic properties known to science.
AS a reconstructive tonic, and body
builder it is without an equal and con-
tains the very elements needed by the
system to restore you to your normal
strength and weight.
First of all Tanlac begins its action
by creating a good healthy appetite
for wholesome. nourishing food, and
assists the vital organs which have
been weakened by the disease to per-
form their natural functions. thus
helping to build up health and
strength in the natural way.
This statement is easily proven by
the fact that Tanlac is now having the
greatest sale of any system tonic in
the history of medicine, in less than
four years time over ten million bot
ties have been sold and the demand lis
constantly increasing.
In connection with the Tanlac treat
ment it is necessary to keep the bowels
| open by taking iTanIac Laxative Tab
| lets, samples of which are included
with every bottle of Tanlac.
Tanfac is sold in Topeka by Tully.

UNITED STATES |S MAKING PLANS

Washington, June 2S.-PIans for sending a commission to Russia to as sist that country economically and ln- dustrially have advanced to :hc point where it is possible to ann ounce on official authority that the pc, sounel of the commission is now being discuss ed
 Men familiar with industrial condi- tions in Russia and especially these acquainted with the transportation system of the country, are being sought. The delicate work which the commission will be called upon to per form in dealing with numerous fac tions in country just beginning to work out it's destiny will require that each person selected be weighed care fully as to his fitness. It may be some weeks before the personnel is completed.
 The decision of the government to fulfill President Wilson's plet,re that the United States stands back of Russia ready to give any aid possible it is understod, will not be chasecd hy developments there. In fact, the possible shifting of governmental c3f trol is regarded as more likely to has tell lle ucPdl lulS VI llit than to retard it's going.
 It is not contemplated that the com mission will undertake any work of a political or diplomatic nature, except insofar as it necessary for accom- plishing it's purposes in an industrial way. For that reason the chairman likely will not be man connected with the government. or who sbas held high position and been constantly in public life. Rather, it is hoped to find men for the commission who have been intimately connected with big industrial enterprises and who can ap- rroach the Russians with sinsleness of purpose to offer expert advice on internal reconstruction.
 The object of the commission will be solely to help Russia. There Will be no show of force accompanying It.. but it is expected that due precautions I will be taken to safeguard the life of the members If any action becomes necessary, it will be of political ma ture. rather than military.
