When you start to waste away
to a shadow, when the color leaves
your cheeks and your poor. tired legs
will hardly hold up your weakened
body it's high time you started taking
a fine tonic and builder like Tanlac.
Tanlac will build you UP and make
you feel that lifes worth living.

earth and compounded under the ex-
elusive Tanlac formula. Tanlac is just
what the poor, starved body needs.
First of all 1t cleanses the blood
stream and puts the digestive organs
in order. You find, after few days
treatment, that you want to eat.
Pretty soon the welcome color steals

From then on it's only short time
until you're feeling fit as fiddle.
Millions of men and women have
taken Tanlac with great benefit.
More than one hundred thousand
people have written us glowing trib-
utes to this wonderful tonic.

artillery would shift them. To econ
Omize ammunition they use the print

Is not calculated to surprise. A GER

volume life of "John Keats" He COW
eted 1t on the spot, but went away,
the battle against extravaganza and
indulgence strong within his breast.
Day after day he returned to turn the
leaves and to torment his soul. In
the expansive season, late one night
near Christmas, he met the bookseller,
hailed him home, and poured a sample
Of very fine sherry for his midnight
guest, saying no word of "Keats."
Next morning early to the bookshop
came the intellectual Scot. Three
bottles Of sherry for the precious vol
umes? 1t was his capitulation to the
delights Of the mind; he had held out
for days. The bargain was eventually
struck, although considerably more
sherry was involved in the transac-
