HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip.
BY DR.. Lee n. Smith.

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or a germ
we must put up good fight, and not
be afraid. The influenza runs a very
brief course when the patient is care.
full, 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. Re
member these three C's-a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels
To carry off poisons from the system
and keep the bowels loose. daily doses
of pleasant laxative should be taken.
Such one is made of May-apple,
leaves Of aloe, root of ialap, and called
Or. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Hot
lemonade should be used freely if at
tackled by cold. and the patient
should be put to bed after hot mus
tard 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 Anu
rio tablets 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.
buttermilk. ice cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the
system and increase the vital resist
ance. The fever Is diminished by the
use OF the Anuric tablets, but in addi-
ton, the forehead, arms and hands
may be bathed with water (tepid) in
which a tablespoonful of salaratus
has been dissolved In 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 "lrontic' Tablets, or that
well known herbal tonic, DR.. Pierce's
