SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIR. LEE n. SMITH.

An old enemy is with US again, and
whether we fight a 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
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 off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of a pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such a one is made
Of May-apple, leaves OF aloe, root of
ialap, and called DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by a cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack OF bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
hours. with lemonade. The Anuric tab.
lets 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, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet
be 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 fore
head, arms and hands may be bathed
with water (tepid in which a table
spoonful of salaratus has been dissolved
in quart. After an attack of grip or

the system, obtain at the drug store a
