Avoid Grippe.
The SureSt Preventive
is Minard'S LinimGnt.

Grippe is a dangerous form of disease.
Just little sneezing, "a little head
ache, and, presto! you're in its grasp.
Grippe in itself is nothing more than
a bad cold; but as it has been gener-
ally conceded that grippe is produced
by a germ which infests the system
and leaves it undermined, weakened,
susceptible to all sorts of diseases, it
becomes disease to be greatly avoided.
Many deaths result from grippe, and
many intirmities, such as Bright's dis
ease, tuberculosis, deafness, failing
eyesight, stiffened joints, throat trou-
blss. catarrh, and all forms of blood
troubles, often follow siege of this
disease. Grippe can be stopped within
an hour after it starts by using
Minards Liniment. Take it in mild
doses, mixed with molasses, internally,
and, after applying "a hot cloth to the
surface of the skin, rub the remedy
thoroughly into the pores. The result
will be really magical. Your grippe
and every vestige of a cold will disap-
pear within few minutes. 1t always
works lust the same. It will cure in
every instance. No one should be
without this grand old "King of
