In every healthy body there are
ffty-grains of iron, about as much
as is contained in an ordinary rail-
road spike. By reason of lack of
iron in the blood many persons arc
anemic, pale, thin, emaciated, their
blood corpuscles are uneven, in
stead of being round and full of
good red blood, and the nerves are
lacking in strength. Feed the nerves
on good, rich, red blood, and one
feels full of vigor.
How can we acquire good red
blood? 1t is easily answered. For
many years Dr.. Pierce and his staff
of physicians at the Surgical Insti-
tute, in Buffalo, N. Y, experiment.
ed with iron and other tonics, and
finally found soluble iron which,
when combined with native herbal
extracts, made a wonderful blood
and nerve tonic. This they named
"Iron-tic." 1t can now be had at
most drug stores, and comes in 60
cent vials. If you feel worn out be-
for the day is half over, if your blood

In guarding against disease of all
kinds, 1t is important that the body be
kept strong and able to fight off dis
ease germs This can be done by hav-
ing a proper proportion of work, play
and rest, by keeping the body we'll
clothed, and by eating sufficient whole
some and properly selected food In
connection with diet, It is well to re.
member that milk is one of the best
allaround foods obtainabe for adults
as well as children. SO far as a dis
case like influenza Is concerned, health
authorities everywhere recognize the
very close relation between its spread
and oyercr0Wded homes While II is
not always possible, especially in
times Ike the present, to avoid such
oyercrOWdlng, people should consider
the health danger and make every
effort to reduce the home overcroWd-
Ing to minimum The value of fresh
air through open windows cannot be
over emphasized.
"When crowding is unavoidable. as
in street cars, care should be taken to
keep the face SO turned as not to in
hale directly the air breathed out by
another person
ut is especially important to be-
ware Of the person who coughs or
sneezes without covering his mouth
and nose, 1t also follows that one
should keep out Of crowds and stuff
places as mach AZ possible, keep
homes, Offices and work shops we'll air
ed, spend some tine ont of doors each
day, walk to work If at all practicable
In short, make every possible effort
to breathe as much pure air as pos
sibe.
In all health matters follow the al
vice Of your doctor and obey the regu.
lations Of your local and state health
officers
Cover up each cough and sneeze,
II you don't you'll spread disease.

symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover

develop pneumonia, or Inflammation

Both times the epidemic spread wide

"Alihough The present epidemic is
called Spanish influenza, there is no
reason to believe that it originated in

How can Spanish Influenza be rec
ognized2
There is as yet no certain way IN
which a single case of Spanish inAu-

there is a group Of cases In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds which usually occur In the
cold months, epidemics Of influenza
may occur at any season of the year

intensely In Europe in May June and
