An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or germ,
we must put up good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza runs very brief
course when the patient is careful, 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. Remember 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 q one is made
of May-apple, leaves OF aloe, root of
jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard 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 Anuric tab

cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much OF the poisons and the uric acid.

sem and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use of the
