Obtain at the nearest drug store "Anuric Tablets" to flush the kidneys and control the pains and aches. Take an "Anuric" tablet every two hours, together with copious drinks of lemonade. If true case of influ- enza, the food should be simple, such as broths, milk, buttermilk and ice-cream {; but it is important that food be given regularly in order to keep up patients strength and vitality. After the acute attack has passed, which is generally from three to seven days, the system should be built up by the use of good iron tonic, such as "Irontic" tablets, to be obtained at some drug stores, or that well known blood-maker and herbal tonic made from roots and barks of forest trees-sold everywhere as Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery.

 Sometimes there are serious condi- tions where hospital operation is the only alternative, but on the other hand so many women have been cured by this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after doctors have said that operation was necessary - every wC--an who wants to avoid an operation should give it fair trial before submitting to such trying ordeal.
 If complications exist, write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,, Lynn, Mass, for advice. The result of meny years experience is at your service.

MONEY REFUNDED ASK ANY DRUGGIST

Coal Creek, Tenn.-Up in the mOun- tains, quite some distance from town, lives Mrs. U. s. Fritts, who relates her experience with Thedford's Black Draught as follows: My little boy, James, took sick with diarrhea, about five years ago, and was badly swollen. He had the measles and this was, no doubt, an after-effect. I made him we'll by giv- ing him Thedford's Black-Draught. I gave 1t to him three times day for q month. l firmly believe 1t saved his life.
 We always keep Black-Draught in our house. It is our doctor. Always easy to get and prompt in giving re- lief. A small pinch of Black-D -Draught after each meal and at bed time for headache, stomach and liver trouble, and we are we'll the next morning. It certainly works wonders some- times and saves no end of trouble, re- lieves pain, and there is no need for another doctor.
 I have recommended Black -Draught to all my neighbors and will continue to recommend It."
 Thedford's Black-Draught is a pure. vegetable herb liver medicine, acting gently, yet promptly, on liver | and bowels.
 Thousands of people, everywhere. have found 1t to relieve constipation, indigestion, biliousness and many similar disorders.
