How Grip, Pneumonia and Influenza
Victims May Gain Strength
The Recent Epidemic Has Left Many Weak and
Rundown Systems Which Must Be Built Up

The epidemic Of grip. pneumonia and
influenza which recently swept the coun-
try with severe loss OF life, has left in its
wake a host of victims whose systems
are weak and run down. How to build
them UP Is a subject of interest as un-
doubtedly there are thousands seeking
this advice.
After such attacks, disease germs have
accumulated in great Quantities. and the
system of course is weakened thereby.
To build up the system and in this way
enable II to throw of the poisons is
therefore necessary. The stomach is the
key to health building as the majority Of
physical ills are directly traceable to Il

Brandeis' Defender Admits Nominee

ruptcy Proceeding.

Conflicting views as to the fitness OF
Louis ID. Brandeis to serve as a justice
of the United States Supreme Court were
presented to the Senate investigating
committee yesterday by two Boston
lawyers, both OF them prominent MEM
bers of the Massachusetts bar.
One Of them was Morefield Storey, who
told of Mr.. Brandeiss connection with
suits filed in 1892 resulting in the re-
ceivership of the New England Railroad.
These, he implied, were instigated by
the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford, the parties named being merely
dummies.
The other witness was Sherman L.
Whipple, who explained the part played
by Mr.. Brandeis in the Lenox suit, in
which litigation he is alleged to have
forced Patrick Lennox, a Lynn leather
manufacturer. into bankruptcy as coun.
sci for the creditors after he had ad-
vised him as counsel to assign his prop.
erty to a trustee.
Mr.. Whipples attitude was decidedly
friendly to Mr.. Brandeis, as Mr.. Storey's
was uncompromisingly hostile. The for
mer commended the Presidents ap-
unsullied motives. He held to the point
however, that Mr.. Brandeis, although
with an unselfish purpose in view, had
made mistake in the Lennox bank
ruptcy proceeding.
