La Grippe.


No healthy person need fear any danger
Gus consequences from this disease if prop
erly treated. It is much the saMe as a very
severe cold, no more dangerous and requires
precisely the same treatment,
There were many deaths from II during
the winter of 1889 and 1890, but not prob
ably more than there would have been had
the same vast number of persons contracted
very severe colds. Many of those who sue
cumbed to the disease had weak lungs, or
were otherwise physically weak and their
systems not strong enough to Withstand the
disease. A still greater number were not
properly treated or neglected to use the very
necessary precautions to avoid relapse.
We wish 1t plainly understood, however,
that, no matter how strong or healthy per-
son may be, they cannot reasonably hope
for a complete recovery unless proper care
is used to avoid exposure, especially when
recovering from the disease, and the right
treatment is adopted.
THE BEST TREATMENT 3 OR La GRIPPE
Remain quietly at home until all symp-
toms of the disease disappear, and then when
you go out have the body we'll clothed and
the feet we'll protected, so that they will re-
main dry and warm.
Take Chamberlsin's Cough Remedy az
directed for a severe cold. Ii freely taken
as soon as the first symptoms of the disease
appear, it will greatly lessen the severity of
the attack, and its continued use will pre-
vent dangerous consequences, provided, of
course. that reasonably good care be taken
of the general system and to avoid ex-
posure.
Keep the bowels regular. Fever usually
causes constipation, the bowels are almost
IN haoona tod - nj
lowed to remain so would make the fever
much worse and the headache much more
severe. 1t is of much importance that they
move once each day. If only slightly con-
sGpated one or two of st. Patrick's Pills,
taken at bedtime, will insure an operation
the next morning. but if badly constipated
three or four would be required They pro-
duce mild and pleasant cathartic effect.
Avoid large doses Of active catharties, as
they would weaken the system just when
strength and yigor are most needed.
Take quinine. in doses of two or three
grains each four times day, as soon as the
feeling of weakness or prostration appears.
It will help to keep up the vitality and en-
able the system to withstand the attack.
For pain in the chest which is very apt
to appear, saturate a flannel cloth with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bind it over
the seat of pain. 1t will relieve the pain
and perhaps prevent pneumonia.
An even temperature as possible should
be maintained, as seemingly slight changes
of the temperature of the room would aggra-
vate the disease, if not cause a relapse
This treatment was followed by many
thousands of persons aud families during
the winter of 1889 and 1890, and was uni
formly successful. 1t greatly lessened the
severity OF the attack and prevented pneu-
monia or other dangerous consequences.
While,,:: many thousands we know were
cured by it, we have yet TO learn of single
case treated in this way that resulted fatal
ly. The great value of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in the treatment of inAu-
enza or the grip was fully proven, and il
made that REMEDY immensely popular, and
undoubtedly saved the lives Of vast num-
