SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
- e Il1, Dir v. H. Snn h

An old enemy is with us again,
and whether we fight German or
a germ, we must put up good fight,
and not be afraid The influenza
runs very brief course when the
patient is careful, and If we keep the
system in good condition and throw
off the poisons which tend to ac-
emulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Rem ember these
three C's-a clean mouth, a clean
skin, and clean bowels. To carry
off poisons from the system and keep
the bowels loose, daily doses of a
pleasant laxative should be taken.
Such one is made Of May-apple,
leaves Of aloe, root Of jalap, and
called Dr.. Pierces Pleasant Pellets.
Hot lemonade should be used freely
if attacked by a cold, and the pa
tient should be put to bed after a
hot mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack Of bfon-
chitis or pneumonia and to control
the pain, Anuric tablets should be
obtained at the drug store, and one
given every two hours, with lemon
ade The Anuric tablets were first
discovered by DR.. Pierce, and, as
they flush the bladder and cleanse the
kidneys, they carry away much of
the poisons and the uric acid.
, 1t is important that broths, milk,
buttermilk, ice cream and simple
diet be given regularly to strengthen
the system and increase the vital
resistance. The fever is diminished
by the use of the Anuric tablets, but
in addition, the forehead, arms and
hands may be bathed with water
(tepid) in which tablespoonful Of
salaratus has been dissolved in a
quart. After an attack of grip or
pneumonia to build up and strength
en- the system, obtain at the drug
store good iron tonic, called
"Irontic" Tablets, or that well known
