70 THE HEALTH BULLETIX cous membranes, rheumatism, nervous disorders and the like,' is offered to the public under the name of Tanlac. The label on the bottle neatly avoids the pure drugs act by claiming to be only a 'tonic and system purifier.' An analysis of Tanlac in the laboratory of this department shows the following: Alcohol ..................16.4 per cent Glycerin ................ 2.0 per cent Licorice ..........................Present Aloes or Cascara..........Present Gentian ..........................Present Alkaloids (Berberin)......Trace ''The presence of a trace of tartaric acid shows that wine is the base of this medicine. The 16 per cent alcohol gives it the 'kick' that makes a fellow feel good, and ought to fill a long-felt want in 'dry counties.' Aloes is a laxative. Gentian is a bitter drug, a so-called tonic. If the reader wants to be cured by the Tanlac route at one-fourth the expense, let him get a quart bottle of good sherry wine. Then go to the local druggist and get drams of glycerin and 2 drams each of aloes, gentian, licorice, and cascara. Mix (if you wish) and you will have Tanlac so near that neither you nor the manufacturer can tell the difference. This formula will give four times the quantity found in an ordinary $1 bottle of Tanlac." The Effects of Tanlac Tanlac depends for its effects on three constituents which, in the order of their importance, are alcohol, purgatives, and bitters. The alcohol in Tanlac produces a feeling of exhilaration, and dulls the edge of care in precisely the same way that whiskey does. Tanlac is 16 or 17 per cent alcohol; whiskey, about 50 per cent; beer, about 5 or 6 per cent; ordinary wine, about 10 or 12 per cent; sherry wine, about 17 per cent. The purgatives contained in Tanlac relieve constipation by causing the bowels to throw off poisons that otherwise would be absorbed, producing perhaps a headache, a furry tongue, loss of appetite, and that "no-count feeling"—a combination of symptoms frequently referred to by the laity as "torpid liver." The bitters, in combination with the alcohol and the purgatives, tend to stimulate and increase the appetite, which is always a welcome and hopeful sign to the patient. People who want temporary stimulation, and to get rid of their pains and troubles by the alcohol or whisky route, will secure much relief from Tanlac. Those who are constipated, which is a large per cent of our population, and who want to relieve their constipation by taking purgatives and not by correcting their habits of eating and their neglect of hygienic living, will also find relief in Tanlac. mv> MUCH BETTER IS A MAX THA>^ A SHEEP J Nebraska, Oregon, and South Dakota require the open formula on stock remedies.
