According to late reports issued by
state ald Federal health authorize
the Spanish Influenza epidemic is
rapidly spreading to all parts of the
country, and it now seems that Dracti-
cally every state in the Union will DO
seriously affected before il runs its
oou sc.
1t has not only become great and
terrifying menace to the public health,
but unless checked, 1t is apt to ser
iously affect the progress OF war work
in all it's various departments AL
ready the Shipping Board has an
nounced that ten per cent of its work
ers had been affected.
The disease has made its greatest
progress in the East where it has
claimed its victims by the thousands.
Reports from other 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 and theatres
lave been closed and public gather
ings 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 ii
you catch cold easily this warning
should be heened 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 are coming 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 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 reconstructiye
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 action
by creating a good healthy appetite
for wholesome, nourishing 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 Influenza,
Grippe or Bronchial troubles and hun
drcds of thousands are using it daily
with the most gratifying results.
In connection with the Tanac treat
ment. it is necessary to keep the bow
els open by taking Tanlac Laxative
Tablets, samples of which arc 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.
Tanlac is sold in Columbia by
SMISER DRUG CO. and by one regu-
lar established agency in every town.
