Have you paid your honest debts,

The epidemic of influenza now pre-
vailing in our midst is more general
than any other disease which has been
epidemic in the town. No class is ex-
empt and the victims can be numbered
by the hundreds. Fortunately, there

If any of our readers have occasion
to buy quinine for the grippe be sure
you get the real stuff. A competent
medical authority of New York says
that three-fourths of the quinine pills
sold at the drug stores are compounds
of cinchona and other forms of quinine
