Grippe is sweeping the country. Stop
it with preventics, before it gets deeply
seated. To check early colds with these
little Candy Cold cure tablets is surely
sensible and safe. Preventics contain
no quinine, no laxative, nothing harsh
nor sickening. Pneumonia would never
appear if early colds were promptly bro
