Influenza continues to spread; and the
disease is now prevalent over many sec

1t has bailled the medical skill to an
unusual extent, and although it has been
held in check in most localities it has
gotten beyond control i'll others. The
germ has eluded psychologists, and
medical men now agree that the best cure
is prevention.
The surest prevention is to build up
the bodily powers of resistance, and to
get the system into the best physical
condition possible. 1t is now universally
agreed that it is possible to perfect the
powers of resistance of the human sys-
tenn so that it can throw off almost any

1t has been observed that persons who
are weak and rundown are more sus-
ceptible to the disease than persons who
are in robust health, and if you are in
a generally run -down condition and be-
low normal weight this warning should
be needed promptly. If you are in this
condition nothing on earth viii build

which contains the most powerful tonic
properties known to science. As a re-
constructive tonic and system builder it
is without an equal and contains the
very elements needed by the system to
give you fighting strength to ward of
disease germs. This is a statement OF
fact and is supported by the recognized
authorities and reference works includ-
ing the L. S. Dispensatory, the En-

ard text books used in the schools OF
medicine. This statement is further
proven by the fact that millions of per
sons who have actually taken TanlaC
have testified to its extraordinary merit
as medicine and by the fact Tanlac is
today having the largest sale of any
/ tonic on the American market.
