WARD OFF INFLUENZA
BY KEEPING IN BEST
PHYSICAL CONDITION

and is fully supported by recognized
authorities. According to all accept
ed reference works, including the =.
s. Dispensatory, Encyclopedia Britain
lea, and the leading textbooks used
in the schools of medicine, the prIn-
cipal ingredients of Tanlac possess
the most powerful re-constructive
properties known to science. This
statement is further proven by the
fact that millions of negroes who have
actually taken Tanlac have testified
to its extraordinary powers as a med
icine.
Tanlac restores health and strength
to the weak and rundown system by
enabling every organ of the body to
perform it's proper function in the
way nature intended. 1t creates a
good, healthy appetite for wholesome,
nourishing food, and is an ideal
strengthening tonic for persons who
are in a rundown condition and who
are suffering from the after-ef'ects of
hard winter colds, grippe, or bron-
chial troubles.
Irrefutable evidence of the recon-
structive powers Of Tanlac is shown
by the fact that it was used by tens
of thousands during last years epi-
demic with splendid results. One
well-known Texas physician stated
that he had never found anything to
equal Tanlac for building up his pa
tients who had had influenza, and
that he had treated over fourteen hun
dred cases in one month.
In connection with the Tanlac
Treatment, keep the bowels open by
taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets, sam
pies of which are enclosed with every
bottle of Tanlac.
TANLAC is sold in Mexico, Mo, by
Buckncr Drug Co. Adv.

Persons Who Catch Cold Easily and

Much of the difficulty experienced
by health authorities in checking the
spread of Influenza lies in the fact
that it spreads with almost lightning
rapidity. Although state and city
authorities have succeeded in keeping
it under control in some sections, the
disease has gotten entirely beyond
control in others.
1t is universally agreed by all we'll
informed persons that the surest pre-
ventive is to get the system into the
best possible physical condition, in
order to be able to throw off the in
fection. 1t has been stated that it is
possible to perfect the powers Of hu-
man resistance so that it can throw
off almost any infection, not excepting
Spanish Influenza, which is generally
supposed to be one of the most con-
tagious diseases known.
Medical authorities agree that peo-
pie who are weak and rundown are
the earliest victims of the Influenza
epidemic. If you find yourself weak
and losing flesh, or if you are N a
generally rundown condition you are
really in danger if you should come
IN contact with the Influenza germ.

and system builder Tanlac is without
