There is probably no family in the city
Of which some member is not laid up. or
at least attacked by the grip
While grip is the same Old enemy. it
seems to be very different this season from
other years. On the streets and street
cars and in the churches one meets with
people violently sneezing. with running
eyes, coughing and with a Woe begone ex-
preston on their faces. Like all cpl
denies of this kind, few are exempt. Ii
attacks the rich and poor alike and ply
sicisns are being worked night and day.
To obtain reliable informant on This
most important subject a reporter recently
called upon some nell known physicians
to learn from them what he could do in
relation to 1t.
IAN agreed on the opinion that the NAL
ady was rapidly increasing and that in
most cases ii was of an extremely danger
GUS nature"
zone medical man, who is said to nave
treated no less than one hundred grip pa
tients in a single week, said to the le-
porter
Serious results viii always follow an
attack of the grip if it is not properly
treated. Often it runs into pneumonia
and always it leaves unpleasant or danger
Gus compiled tiops. 1t seems to be differ
ent this year from ever before. My expert
ence has shown that the worst grip comes
when the body is clogged up and when the
secre lions fail 10 have the right exit
Have you ever seen sewer or drain
clogged. Well, that is precisely the con-
dition of the body that invites grip. The
fluids have nc. means of escape and so they
back up and flood everything. just as
clogged sewer floods the street. Is this
not natural? 1t is certainly true"
when a person is attacked by grip"
the doctor continued, "he should not try
10 fight off the sensations Of cold, aching
limbs and extreme WEAKNESS under the
impression that he has simply an ordin-
airy cold, but should stay indoors, avoid
excess of eating and drinking and above
all take a timely remedy
The reporter being anxious to discover
what the pubic considered a timely rem
edy and was taking most, visited the
leading drug stores and interviewed the
proprietoTs. The general opinion was Wen
expressed by the manager of prominent
Fifth avenue pharmacy, who said: Grip?
Yes, il is raging But 1t seems to come
in a different way from any former years.
People come into our store all clogged up.
Not necessarily in the head, but all over
the body. They have headaches, it is true,
but then they have backache too and
pains all through the system. You know
the body is like city. All the waste mat
ter must be carried away. When the
sewers do not work there is trouble. Peo-
pie are beginning to understand that they
muse keep the sewers, especially the kid
neys, in good condition, or they cannot
hope to escape or regain health. What is
the remedy? Wen, we have a store fun
of so-cailed remedies, but we have only
one which our customers find produces the
effects desired. We do not recommend
anything, but I can tell you what the
people use. 1t is something reliable, some
thing which is certain to unclog the
system, some thing which is recommended
by physicians and is very popular with the
people-Warner's Safe Cure. We look
upon it as the safest and the best remedy
that anyone can take when suffering from
the many many serious ailments so
common az this season of the year"
This information is certainly of The
highest importance in view of the increas-
ing number of people who are suffering
from colds, chills grip and the ills of the
season. Very often the serious results
which follow these attacks might have
been avoided if the proper remedy had
been taken in time. Health is a serious
matter and especially at this season of the
year, when so many things are fighting
bitterly against it,
