If flu has left you just half

So long as your system is weak
and rundown it cannot resist IA
tigue; it cannot throw off the at
tack of any germ or illness you may
be exposed to. Tone up your whole

you'll feel fit, and be fit; natural
vitality and resistance will be yours
again.
Step into your druggists today

After a bout with the flu, when

feet like lead, when your back is

tone up your system with Tanlac.
Note how you pick right up from
the first few doses.
Thousands of men and women
are happy and vigorous today be-
cause Tanlac carried them over
similar periods of weakness and
depression. It's action is perfectly
natural because its ingredients are
all natural. Roots, barks and herbs
long known for their medicinal
values, combine their tonic proper
