According to late reports issued by
State and Federal health authorities
the Spanish Influenza epidemic is rap
idly spreading to all parts Of the coun-
try, and it now seems that practically
every State IN the Union will be se-
riously affected before it runs its
It has not only become a great and
terrifying menace to the public health
but unless checked, it is apt to seri-
ously affect the progress Of the war
work IN all its various departments.
Already the shipping Board has an
nounced that ten per cent of its work
ers had been affected.
The disease has made its greatest
progress IN the East where it has
claimed its victims by the thousands.
Reports from other sections, however,
are equally alarming; and both civil
and military authorities have warned
the public to take every precaution to
prevent its further spread. In many
cities schools, churches and theatres
have been closed and pubic gather
ings Of all kinds forbidden.
Medical authorities agree that peo-
pie who are weak and rundown are
the earliest victims Of the Influenza
epidemic. If you find yourself tired
and weak and losing flesh, or if you
are in a generally rundown condition,
or if you catch cold easily, this warn
ing should be needed promptly. You
are really in great danger, because
the germ Of this disease is very catch
ing and you are apt to fall an easy
victim if you come in contact with the
germs. People who are well and
strong are not likely to contract the
disease because they are able to throw
| it off. The common-sense way to
keep from taking it is to fortify the
system against attack by building up
the constitution.
In other words, to use the old adj
age, "An ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure And if you are in a
sub-normal condition the proper thing
to do is to begin Immediately to build
up your powers of resistance. To
accomplish this, nothing on earth viii

tonic, which contains the very ele-
ments needed by the system to give
you fighting strength and ward off
