HEALTH TALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIR. LEE II. SMITH.

An old enemy is with US again, and
whether we fight a German or germ,
we must put up a good fight. and rot
be afraid. The influenza runs very
brief course when the patient is careful,
and if we keep the system in good con
dition and throw off the poisons which
tend to accumulate within our bodies,
We can escape the disease. Remember
these three C's-a clean mouth, a clean
skin, and clean bowels. To carry cit
poisons from the system and keep the
bowels loose. daily doses of a pleasan:
laxative should he taken. Such a one IL
made of May-appe. leaves OF aloe. root
of jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Ileas-
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be
used freely If attacked by a cold, and
he patient should be put to bed after a
hot mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack OF bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pair,
Anuric tablets should be obtained a the
drug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab
let's were first discovered by Or. Pierre.
and. as they flush the bladder ana
cleanse the kidneys. they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths. milk. but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet lie
given regularly to strengthen the sys-
tenn and increase the vital resistance
The fever is diminished by the use Of
the Anuric tablets. but in addition. the
