Remedy has been recognized as
the most prompt and effectual
medicine in use for this disease.

"Before we can sympathize

the suffering attendant upon an
attack of the grip, unless he has

agony, or which 60 successfully

from the grip, however, may be
avoided by the prompt use of

While doctors disappearing stand
And microbes darkly hint.
The second kiss IS quite the best

Upon his WiTe's fair brow,
