Tanlac. which begins it's work by
stimulating the digestive and assimila-
tive organs. thereby enriching the
blood and invigorating the whole, sys-
tenn. Next, it enables the weak, worn
out stomach to thoroughly digest its
food, permitting the nourishing ele-
ments to be converted into blood,

If you haven't an atomizer, gargle
