SAYS COLD WEATHER BRINGS RETURN OF
 INFLUENZA
Public Must Be Careful To Avoid a Second Epidemic. Easier To Prevent Than
 Cure. What To Do.

"Encouraging reports of the fewer cases of innuenza in this vicinity should not allow us to relax our vigil ance or to become careless in the be- lief that the danger is all over" says well known authority. With the coming of cold weather there is apt 10 be a return of this frightful epi- dem and it's seriousness will depend on extent of the precautions taken by public to prevent infection.
 the air is full of influenza ger 'u may be constantly breath in- into your nose and throat bdl i...r danger may be avoided and You may make yourself practically immune to infection if you destroy the germ before i. actually begins work in your blood.
 During the recent serious epidemic. which hit Norwich so hard. most sue cessful results were obtained by many through the simple breathing into the nose. throat and lungs of the medicat- ed air of oil of Hyomei. Probably no better, safer or more sensible precau- ton against influenza, grippe, coughs, colds. bronchitis or catarrh of the nose and throat could be employed than to go now to the nearest drug store and get complete Hyomei outfit consist Hyomei and little vestpocket hard rubber inhaling device into which a few drops of the oil are poured.
 Carry this inhaler with you during the day and each half hour or so put It in your mouth and draw deep breaths of its pure healing germicidal air into the passages of your nose, throat and lungs to destroy any germs that may have found lodgement there This simple precaution may save you serious illness and the loss of several weeks work. It is pleasant to use and not at all expensive, as the in haler will last lifetime and further supplies of, the Oil of Hyomei can be had at any drug store for a few cents Hundreds of people in this vicinity used Hyomei In this way during the | recent crisis and avoided danger. They should not neglect 1t now, for the dan ger is by no means over.
