Our boys are defending this country
on the high seas and on the land. Our
own defense against q common enemy
is to keep the system clean by Kidding
the body Of the toxins, or poisons, which
are bred in the intestines. When you
feel tired, sleepy, headachy, when your
breath is offensive, or pimples appear
on the face and neck, it is time to recog-
HE the danger and protect your bodily
health BY taking something for the liver
such as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
The machinery of the body needs to
be oiled, kept in good condition, just as
the guns or machinery of ship. Why
should human person neglect his own
machinery more than that Of his auto
mobile or his guns? Yet most people
do neglect themselves. Their tongue
has dark brown color, skin sallow,
breath bad, yet they fail to see that
their machinery needs attention.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets have
been known for nearly half a century.
They are made Of May-apple, leaves Of
aloe and jalap, made into a tiny pellet
and coated with sugar. They are stand
ard and efficacious. You can obtain
them at any drug store in walls for
twenty-five cents. Ask for DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets and get NO otherI

INFLUENZA.

DR.. W. F. Huntsman, Represen-
tatiye County Committee Volunteer
Medical Service Corps, requests pub
LEGATION of the following, which will
be of interest to patients affected
with influenza, the non-affected and
physicians of the county
In view Of the present serious
epidemic which is sweeping over
the country, the Volunteer Medical
Service Corps earnestly invites your
attention tothe following important
FACTION:
Urge upon the members Of the
Volunteer Medical Service Corps
that they instruct families under
their care to guard against the cpl
demic by:
Thorough cleanliness Of houses,
premises, clothing, utensils, and per-
sonal cleanliness.
Avoid stirring up dust.
Wash, scrub, flush, sprinkle. and
use soap and water thoroughly.
Gqrel d aQd spray the isooe and
throat WITH MI alkaline nntioptic
fluid frequently = y
Cooperate at once to the fullest
extent with the Local, State and
National Boards Of Health. Urge
and cooperate in preparing towns
and cities for the epidemic by es-
tablishine emergency hospitals in
suitable buildings, by distracting
communities, and apportioDing or
dividing medical forces comprising
men and women physicians and
nurses so that no portion of the
community is without medical care.
Circulate as thoroughly as pos
sible and explain to the public the
warning and directions printed by
the United States Public Health
Service and by local health author
tiles.
Urge the Importance Of fresh air
and the avoidance Of chill and over
heat.
In fighting the epidemic give'no
medicine and use no treatment
which may depress the vital forces
especially the heart Of the patient.
The Army and Navy are fighting
and conquering Germans. We must
fight and conquer germs without
taking anything away from the
Army and Navy. Don't ask the
Army and Navy for medical and
surgical supplies. Use simple uten-
sils for sterilizing; the simplest kinds
of beds and bedding; make your
own masks and dressings, and fight
for yourselves,
While the epidemic is on. do no
surgical operations unless absolute
ly necessary to save life.
In every way in your power urge
the members Of the Volunteer Med
icoI Service Corps to cooperate to
the fullest extent with the United
States Public Health Service and
with State and Local Health Au-
thorities. =
EDWARD P. DAVIS, Pres,
Volunteer Medical Service Corps.

scription for spray and earele.
