HEALTH BOARD
 GIVES WARNING OF
 INFLUENZA DANGER
Ask People To Be Careful
 and Take Proper Treat
 ment Promptly. Many Pneumonia Cases Follow Influenza. What To Do.

To be prepared for the serious out breaks of influenza and pneumonia that are now sweeping over the entire country and that have seized on this where are issuing cautions and instruc- tlens to the public not to neglect treatment at the first symptom of q cold and to Cooperate with the board and physicians in stamping out tt4e spread of the diSease.
 No disease develops so quickly or spreads so rapidly. The first symptom usually is a sharp rise in temperatu!e the back, throat feeling dry or sore. Unless promptly checked by proper treatment. the best plan is to go to bed and stay there for at least a week, keeping warm to avoid pneumonia ana let the minor ailment run its course and also prevent the spread of the dis ease to others.
 Most of us, in these busy days, cart
 not afford, if it can be avoided to lose a week or more of work, so it is aA the more necessary that at the verS
 first sign of grip or influenza eeunteS acting treatment should be taken.
 Probably no better or mere effective
 treatment could be followed at such q
 time than to get from the nearest drug store a complete Hyomef outfit. consist ing of a bottle of the pure Oil of Hy0-
 mel and little vest-pocket hard rub
 Der inilaling device into which few
 drons of the oil are poured
 This is all you will need. Put the
 inhaler in your mouth and breathe is air deep into the passages of your nose. throat and lungs. Every narticle of air that enters your breathing or gans will thus be charged with an antiseptie germ killing balsam tha | will absolutely destroy the germs of influenza that have found ledgment there.
 You can't do this too often. The Hyomei inhaler is small and can be conveniently carried in a handbag or in your Vestpocket. Every half hour or so throughout the day take it ont and draw a few breat1s of it's pure healing air into your nose and throat. Relief. comes almost instantly. The grip or influenza. symptoms subside, l Congestion ceases, fever diss ppeare | throat conditions become normal and l you soon are feeling fine. The outfit l is net at all expensive, for the rubber | inhaler will last a lifetime. while the l Oil of Hyomei can he obtained at little i cost from any reliable druggist. Lots l of people already have a Fvomei in- l haler. Take it out charge it and use 1 it without delay. If you haven't one 1 get it today. l A few cents spent now may eas silly l prevent serious illness and save yor 1 many dollars and help stamp out the | spread of the disease. The Lee & Os'
