INFLUENzAWORSE THAN
HUN BULLETS
Claiming More Victims Than
Battle Fronts OF Europe
Disease Can Be Avoided

According TO carefully compiled
statistics it is an indisputable fact
that the Spanish Influenza Epidemic
which is now sweeping all parts of
the country is daily claiming far more
victims than German bullets on the
battle fronts Of Europe. Although
civil and military authorities have sue
ceeded in checking the disease in some
localities, it is growing worse in
others and continues to spread at an
alarming rate. That the disease can
be avoided there is no longer a doubt
According to leading authorities the
powers Of resistance of the human
system can be so perfected that it
can throw off almost any infection,
not even excepting Spanish influenza,
which is one of the most contagious
diseases known
1t is persons who are suffering
from lowered vitality, who are weak
and rundown and who have not the
strength to throw it off who are the
earliest victims. Persons who have
bad colds, who are suffering from ca
tarrhal troubles, or inflammation of
the mucous membranes are especially
susceptible, as the inflamed mucous
membrane Innings of the nose and
throat are an open door to the germs.
This condition is almost always ac-
companied by weakened condition of

If you are suffering from any of 1
these symptoms, nothing on earth /

like Tanlac, which contains the most
powerful tonic properties known to

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 is
constantly increasing Thousands are
using it daily for the above troubles
with the most astonishing and graft
flying results.
Tanlac increases your weight and
strength and creates good, healthy
