HEALTH TALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIE
BY DIR. LIE II. SMITH


An old enemy is with us again,
and whether we fight q German or
a germ, we must put up a good
fight, and not be afraid. The influ-
enxa runs a very brief course when
the patient is careful, and IL 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
jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should
be used freely if attacked by q cold,
and the patient should be put to
bed after hot mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bron-
chitis or pneumonia and to control
the pain, Anuric tablets should be
obtained at the drug store, and one
given every two hours, with lemon
ade. The Anuric tablets were first
discovered by DIR. 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,
buttermilk, ice cream and simple
diets be given regularly to strength
en- the system and increase the vital
resistance. The fever is diminished
by the use of the Anuric tablets,
but in addition, the forehead, arms
and hands may be bathed with
water (tepid) in which a tablespoon
full of salaratus has been dissolved
in a quart. After an attack of grip
or pneumonia to build up and
strengthen the system, obtain at the
drug store a good iron tonic, called
'Irontic" Tablets. or that we'll

New Blood Needed

After the grippe, influenza or
other serious illness, the body needs
help to regain the health and
strength sacrificed by the disease.
The blood first of all must be puri-
fled and revitalized. For this pur-
pose physicians know of no more
efficient body builders than Iron,
Nux Vomica, Gentian, Capsicum and
Zinc Phosphide in some form.
In many preparations, however,
the Iron causes constipation, but in
Chase's Blood and Nerve Tablets,
which contain all of these tonics.
this is overcome by the addition of
Aloin.
The system, therefore, gets all
the benefits of the Iron and other
body builders without any unpleas-
ant after effects. Health and strength
quickly return and pure, healthy
blood is soon circulating through
the body.
Each dose meA us more vim, vital
ity and strength. Weigh yourself
before taking and watch the result.

DEAR MISS SFAIRFAX:
1 am IS and considered good look
ing. There is a young man about my
own age whom 1 greatly admire. My
friends tell me he confessed his love
for me to them. We have gone to-
gether for year or more, until a few
months ago a girl friend of mine
came between us and through jealousy
separated us. When we meet we
always speak, but that is as far as IL
goes. Could it not be that this girl
friend has told him unjust things
about me?
ANXIOUS.
A situation of this sort is certainly
most painful and difficult to handle
1t is hard to fight intrigue success
fully with honest weapons. Since your
friendship is of a years standing,
you might write the young man a
frank note, asking him to explain
what has caused its interruption. But
it's not at all certain this will have
the desired result.
