Diagnosis of Grippe.

True grippe is germ disease. These
germs are in the circulation, and per
gade every tissue and organ of the BODY.
This brings speedy collapse and often
death to the aged and debilitated. After
the acute stage people wonder that they
do not recover. They call it the after
effects of the grippe. The fact is the
germs are still alive, and if not DESTROYED,
viii go on breaking down the consfitu-
ton, and leave you a physical wreck.
The only gerrnicide known that searches
out and destroys every grippe germ in
the system is Brazilian Balm. A week
or ten days treatment effects a COM
plete cure.
