Although state fand city authorities have succeeded dn keeping it under control in some #ettions, the disease has gotten en- Hirely beyond control in others. It fs universally agreed by all well- informed persons that the surest Preventive is to get the system into the best possible physical condition, in order to be able to throw off the jinfection. It has been stated that it 4% possibile to perfect the powers of| human resistance so that it can throw off almost any infection, not ixcepting Spanish Influenza, which Benerally mipposed to be one of Most contagious diseases known | Medical authorities agree that peo- who are weak and run-down the earliest victims of the In finenza epidemic, If you find your. if weak and losing flebh, or if you in a generally run-down condt f you are really in danger if you uld come in contact with the In- germ As & powerful tonie and a system builder Tanijac is without an equal. This is a state ment of fact, and is fully supported | by recognized authorities. Accord ing to ali accepted reference works, including the U. 8. Dispensatory, Encyclopedia Britannica, and the leading text-books used in the schools of medicine, the principal ingredi- ents of Tanlac possess the most powerful reconstructive properties known to science. This statement is further proven by the fact that millions of persons who have act- ually taken Tanlac have testified to its extraordinary powers as a medi- cine. Tanlac restores health and strength to the weak and rundown eystem by enabling every organ of the body to perform ita proper function in the way nature intended. It creates a good, healthy appetite for whole some, nourishing food, and is an ideal strengthening tonic for per. sons who are in a rundown con dition and who are suffering from the aftereffects of hard winter colds, grippe, or bronchial 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 year's epi jdemic with splendid results. One well-known Texas physician stated | that he had never found anything to equal Tanlac for butiding up his pa- tlents who had had Influenza, and that he had treated over fourteen hundred cases in, one month. In connection with the Tanlac Treatment, keep the bowels open by |taking Taniac Laxative Tablets, |xamples of which are enclosed with every bottle of Tanlac. ‘Tanlac is sold in Seattle by Bartell Drug Stores under the personal di- re-constructive PROHIBITION ALL TH' TINE Aw GOT & SINKIN’ IN FEELIN’ IN MY STOMACH: SAY CLEM — WHAT WAS |AT YOU STARTED TH SAY AT OF THOSE SWELL PLACES You SEE I TWE Movies- Thad Ice CREAM RIGHT On oR oF MY Pie! ‘The Music KePT RWGHT Ou A PLAYIN’ WHI We were EATING!
