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 1t now seems that prac-
tlcally every State in the Union will
be seriously affected before it runs its
course.
1t has not only become a great and
terrifying menace to the public health
but unless checked it is apt to Sc
riously affect the progress of the war
work in all its various departments.
Already the Shipping Board has an
nounced that ten per cent of its work.
ers have been affectedR
The disease has made its greatest
progress in the East where it has
claimed its victims by the thousands.
Reports from Their 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 land
theatres 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 a 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 vic
tim IT you come in contact with the
germs. People who are we'll 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 pound of cure" And if YOU
are in a sub-normal condition the
proper thing to do is to begin imme-
diately to build up your powers of
resistance. To accomplish this, moth
ing on earth will strengthen you and
build you up like Tanlac, the powerful
reconstructive tonic, which contains
the very elements need by the sys-
tenn to give you fighting strength and
ward off the influenza 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 strength
ening tonic for persons who are suf-
fering from the after effects of inf1u-
enza. grippe or bronchial troubles
and hundreds of thousands are using
it daily with the most gratifying re-
suits.
In connection with the Tanlac
treatment, it is necessary to keep the
bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxa-
tive Tablets, samples of which are in
cluded with every bottle of Tan1ac.
1t is also important that the every
day rules of hygiene be observed;
that is, sleep in we'll ventilated rooms,
get plenty of fresh air and exercise
and keep away from crowds.
