SPANISH INFLUENZA
 MORE DEADLY H THAN WAR
Said That Epidemic Cost More Lives %an American Loss In Battle. Danger Not Over. Great Care Necessary To Prevent
 Further Outbreak.

The appalling ravages of Spanish h. huenza in this country are perhaps best realized by the statement recently made that more deaths have resulted in little more than a month from this disease than through dur whole eighteen months participation in the battles Of tho European war.
 Our. greatest danger now, de 'lare au- thoritles. Is the great American ten dency to forget easily ana 10 believe the peril is over, Competsrt aCthori- ties claim the coming of cold weather is very apt to bring Q return of this disease and there shouii he no let-up throughout the winter months of the following easily observed preeautions, remembering that infiuenza Is far easier to prevent than cure.
 Influenza is a crowd disease. Avoid crowds as much as possible. Influenza germs spread when ignorant or careless persons sneeze or cough without using a Handkerchief. Cover up each cough sidewalk, in street cars or public places. Avoid the use of common drinking cups and roller towels in public places. Breathe some reliable refnaicidai and antiseptic air to destroy the germs that do find lodgemeAt In your nose and throat.
 e. Remember no safer precaution against influenza could be employed in rhis manner than to get from the near est drug store complete Hyomei Out it consisting of a bottle of the pure oil Of Hyomei and little vest pocket hard rubber inhaling device, into which a few drops of the oil are poured You should carry this inhaler about with Sou during the day and each half hour CT so put it in your mouth and draw teep hreaths Of it's pure. healing. germ Killing air into the passages of your nose. throat and lungs
 . By destroying germs before they actually begin to work in your blood Eou may make yourself practically i'm Inune to infection.
 |. All these suggestions about Spanish influenza are equally true in the pre- Sention of colds. catarrh of nose and throat. bronchitis and even pneumonia Don't become careless. Do your part Keep the germs away. You may save yourself 2 serious illness and the loss If several weeks work.
