THE GETIlNG-WELL
STAGE OF GRIP
Most Dangerous Period
low 10 Gain Strength

The long pull in getting over the
grip demands that all the organs Of
the body be kept in their best work
ing form, not only to drive out the
poison left by the grip germ, but that
the patient shall regain strength as
soon as possible to avoid further at
tacks resulting from the poisons in
the system, paralyzing the greater
part of the tissues of the body and
the organs which they compose.
Forced nutrition is q means toward
good health after the grip--as it is a
means of preventing the entrance of
the grip germ to the system, Father
Johns Medicine treats grip and
builds up the body because 1t is all
pure nourlshment and free from
opium, morphine, chloroform or other
poisonous drugs. Father John s
Medicine has had so years success
for colds and throat troubles, coughs
and sore throats, and as tonic and
body builder.
