SPANISH INFLUENZA
 RAPIDLY SPREADING
PERSONS WEAK AND RUNDOWN EASY VICTIMS FORTIFY YOURSELF AGAINST IT BY TAKING TANLAC.

According to late reports issued by State and Federal health authorities the Spanish Influenza epidemic is rapidly spreading to all parts of the country, and it now seems that prac- tically every state in the Union will be seriously affected before it runs it's course.
 It 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 departments. Already the Shipping Board has an nounced that ten per cent of its work CTS had been affected.
 The disease has made it's greatest progress in the East where it has claimed it's victims by the thousands. Reports from other sections, howev- CT, are equally alarming; and both civil and military authorities have warned the public to take every pre- caution to prevent it's further spread. In many cities schools, churches and theaters have been closed and public gatherings of all kinds forbidden.
 Medical authorities agree that peo- pie who are weak and rundown are the earliest victims of the Influenza epidemic. If you find yourself tired, weak and losing flesh, or if you are in generally rundown condition, or if you catch cold easily, 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 come in contact with the germs. People who are we'll aud 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 justify the system against attack by building up the constitution.
 in other words, to use the old ad- age, "An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure" And if you are in a sub-normal condition the proper thing to do is to begin immediately to build up your powers of resistance. To ac- complish this, nothing on earth will strengthen you and build you up like Tanlac, the powerful reconstructive tonic, which contains the very ele- ments needed by the system to give you fighting strength and ward off the influenza germ.
 First of all Tanlac begins its &C., tion by creating good healthy appe- tite for wholesome food, and assists every organ of the body to perform it's natural functions, thus helping to build up health and strength in the natural way.
 Tanlac is also the ideal strengthen ing tonic for persons who are suffer- ing from the after effects of Infuen- ga, Grippe or Bronchial troubles and hundreds of thousands ars using it daily with the most gratifying re- suits.
 In connection with the Tanlac treat ment, it is necessary to keep the bow els open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets, samples of which are includ- ed with every bottle of Tanlac It is also important that the every day rules of hygiene be observed; that is, sleep in well ventilated rooms, get plenty of fresh air and exercise and keep away from crowds.
 Tanlac is sold in Mena by Jackson Drug and Furniture Company and by one established agency in every town. --Advt. 42-2t
