SPANISH INFLUENZA
MORE DEADLY
THAN WAR
Said That Epidemic Cost More Lives Than
American Loss in Battle. Danger Not
Over. Great Care Necessary To
Prevent Further Outbreak.

The appalling ravages of Spanish In
fluenza in this country are perhaps best
realized by the statement recently made
that more deaths have resulted in little
more than month from this disease than
through our whole eighteen months par
ticipation in the battles of the European
War.
Our greatest danger now, declare au-
thorities, is the great American tendency
to forget easily and to believe the peril is
over. Competent authorities claim the
coming of cold weather is very apt to
bring return of this disease and there
should be no let-up throughout the win
ter months of the following easily OBJ
served precautions, remembering that In
fluenza is far easier to prevent than cure
Influenza is a crowd disease. Avoid
crowds as much as possible. Influenza
germs spread when ignorant or careless
persons Sneeze or cough without using a
handkerchief. Cover up each cough or
sneeze. Do not spit on the floor, side
walk, in street cars or public places
Avoid the use of common drinking cups
and roller towels in public places Breathe
some reliable germicidal and antiseptic
air to destroy the germs that do find
Judgement III your uOSc anu IHlodt'
Remember, no safer precaution against
Influenza could be employed in this man
ner than to get from the nearest drug
store complete Hyomei Outfit consisting
of bottle of the Pure oil of Hyomei and
a little vest-pocket hard rubber inhaling
device, into which few drops of the oil
are poured You should carry this In
haler about with you during the day and
each half hour or so put it in your mouth
and draw deep breaths of its pure, healing
germ killing air into the passages of your
nose, throat and lungs.
By destroying germs before they actu-
ally begin work in your blood, YOU may
make yourself practically immune to in
lection.
All these suggestions about Spanish In
fluenza are equally true in the prevention
of colds, catarrh of nose and throat,
bronchitis and even pneumonia. Don't
become careless. Do your part. Keep
the germs away. You may save yourself
a serious illness and the loss of several
weeks work
