 Chief J. NJ. Broughton, Portsmouth Va, declared experience had taught him that the enforcement of prohibit tion laws in Virginia increased the use of medicinals containing large percentage of alcohol. He named toilet water. bay rum and other liquors as examples.
 'We have some instances of drunk enness from shoe polish" he asserted

rheumatism Is not only one of
the most prevalent, but one of the
most painful and difficult to treat
of all present-day diseases. When
the digestive organs and bowels are
not working properly, and the kid.
neys become clogged up, the whole
system becomes deranged and sat
urated with uric acid poisons and
other impurities. which accumulate
in the joints and other parts OF the
body. and produce the condition
known as rheumatism.
Tanlac is IA powerful reconstruc.
tive tonic. and quickly overcomes
this condition by acting directly on
the vital organs, toning them up
and enabling them to perform their
proper functions. so that the inn
purities are soon eliminated from
the system in natural way. Lini-
ments and external applications. as
a general thing. only afford temper
AIRY relief. Tanlac is a constitutional
treatment. and gets right at the root
of the trouble by removing the
cause.
