IN site of the fact that influenza
reer S in modern times every 20 to 80
years in explosive waves, spreading
with the rapidly of an express train
over the land and with the speed of
an ocean liner on the sea and around
the globe, there has never been an
intelligent preparedness for the cpl
demic, nor suitable measures taken
before or after the attack. This
epidemic has differed from those that
have gone before in that the largest
percentage Of victims were from 20 to
80 years OF age, with fewer victims in
advanced years. In the first place, no
one should be alarmed blythe approach

After the attack of influenza or
pneumonia the kidneys are often
affected, and the victim suffers from
backache, frequent arising at night,
perhaps rheumatism or sciatica. Tbs

remedy, and most efficient. After
