SPANISH Influenza
RAPIDLY SPREADING
Persons Weak And Run Down
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 rap
idly 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
its course.
1t has not only become great and
terrifying menace to the public. health
but unless checked, it is apt to ser
iously affect the progress of war work
in all its various departments. Already
the shipping board has announced that
ten per cent of its workers have been
affected.
The disease has made its greatest pro
gress in the east where it has claimed
its victims by the thousands. Reports
from other sections, however, are equal
ly alarming; and both civil and mill.
tary authorities have warned the pub
lie to take every precaution to pre-.
vent its further spread. In many cit.
les 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 cpl
demic. If you find yourself tired, weak
and losing flesh, or if you are in a
generally run down 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 well 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 system against attack by building
up the constitution.
In other words to use the old adage,
!" An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound OF cure. And if you are in q
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 ton
ic, which contains the very elements
needed by the system to give you fight
ing strength and ward off the influ-
enza germ.
First of all Tanlac begins its action
by creating a good healthy appetite for
wholesome. nourishing food, and assists
every organ Of the body to perform
its 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 suffering
from the after effects of inflAenza,
grippe or bronchial troubles and hum
dreds OF thousands are using it daily
with the most gratifying results.
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. 1t 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.
