 No disease develops so quickly or spreads so rapidly. The first symptom usually is sharp rise in temperature to lOS or lo4 degrees, headache, pain in the back, throat feeling dry or sore. Unless promptly checked by proper treatment the best plan is to go to bed and stay there for at least a week,
 let the minor ailment run it's course and also prevent the spread of the disease to others.
 Most of us, in these busy days can not afford, if it can be avoided, to lose week or more of work, so it is all the more necessary that at the very first sign of grip or influenza a counter acting treatment should be taken.
 Probably no better or more effective treatment could be followed at such a time than to get from the nearest drug store a complete Hyomef outfit. con sisting of a bottle of the pure Oil of rubber inhaling device into which 8 few drops Of the oil are poured.
