Make Every Meal A
Perfect Feast
Tanlac Makes Each Bite
a New Delight
WHEN your digestive «J»tem i«
working efficiently and smooth
ly, extracting from your food abun
dant stores of vital energy and piling
op a reserve force of vigor to meet
sny emergency, every bite Is eaten
wltb keen seat and appreciation.
If yoor meals are not a real event,
tf you do not approach the table
with the most lively anticipa
tion of Its delights, then you
are only half-living, because
fou are only half getting the
ralue of your food.
Lack of appetite, or distress
from indulging the appetite, are
both due to the same cause—
failure of the digestive system
to properly do Its important
work. The undigested food
remaining In the alimentary
canal may merely cause a dls-
taste for more food when It cannot
take care of what It has, or it may
undergo chemical and purification
changes that cause acute disease.
Besides, these chemical changes
produce poisonous substances that
are carried to every cell and organ
of the body and that cause all sorts
of distressing symptoms.
Tan lac, the famous digestive tonic
and body builder, has achieved ita
wide success because it is able to In*
vigorate the entire digestive tract.
It acts to cause vigorous stomach
preparation of the food, both through

good cleansing of the little bowels is
often all that is necessary.

Goat Eat Goat!
Ever eat any goat meat? Sure?
Department of Agriculture says about
142,000 goats are slaughtered and sold
as meat yearly. Few cities require
goat meat to be marketed under Its

trifle sweeter.
In this nightmare called civilization
we probably eat a great many strange

If a written history could accom

folks would have to be cautioned
against overeating.
