' FLU EPIDEMIC SPREADING OVER CIVILIZED WORLD Germ Eludes Bacteriofogists and Health Authorities Are Baffled. The Influenza epidemic continues unabated. Its ravages are not con fined to this city or state or even to the United States, and cable reports indicate that it is rapidjy spreading over the civilized world. It has baf fled medical skill to an unusual ex tent and has claimed more victims perhaps than any other epidemic in a score of years. The germ has elud ed the Bacteriologists and medical men now agree that the best cure is prevention. The surest prevention i3 to build up the bodily powers of resistance and to get the system in the best physical condition possible. It is now universally agreed that it is possible to perfect the powers of re sistance of the human system so that it can throw off almost any in fection not excepting Spanish in fluenza. It has been discovered that per sons who are weak and rundown are the earliest victims, and if you find yourself tired or weak and losing flesh, or if you are in a generally rundown condition and below your normal weight, this warning should be heeded promptly. If you are in this condition noth ing on earth will build you up and strengthen you like Tanlac, which contains the most powerful tonic properties known to science. As a reconstructive 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 off the Influenza s;erm. This is a statement of facts and is supported by the recognized authorities and reference works, in- i-"ri;nT tM United States Dispensa tory and the Kncyclopoeda Bnttan nica and leading textbooks used in the school of medicine. This state ment is further proven by the fact that millions of persons who have actually taken Tanlac have testi fied to its extraordinary merit as a medicine, ana by the fact that Tan lac is today having the greatest sale of any tonic on the American mar ket, over Eleven Million bottles hav ing been sold within the past three years. Tanlac is also the ideal strength ening tonic for persons who are suf fering from the after-effects of In fluenza, Grippe or Bronchial trou bles and hundreds of thousands are using it daily with the most gratify ing results. In connection with the Tanlac treatment "it is necessary to keep the bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets, samples of which are included with every bottle of Tanlac. 1 Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores.. Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy under the personal direction of a special Tan lac representative.

Disease is not an accident, nor is it sent by Providence. It is Nature's punishment for the breaking of her laws. Hemorrhoids, for example, occasion an infinite degree of discomfort, suffering and misery. So does a fissure or a fistula. But such punishments are meted out to those wh6 sinagainst Nature in two ways, by neglecting to maintain regular, easy, thorough evacuation of the bowels who form the bad habit of constipation, or what is a worse habit, the taking of pills, castor oil, purgative mineral waters, 4 '.Its, etc., with the mistaken idea of overcoming constipation by forcing the boweJs,to move unnaturally. But the Nujol Treatment for Constipation prevents such sins ot the flesh, or mitigates the punishment therefor. . Nujol helps to re-establish easy, regular, thorough evacuation of the bowels. Nujol is not a drug, does not act like any drug. Nujol is absolutely harmless. Nujol keeps the waste matter soft, moist, and'feasily voided.
