Guard Against Influenza
Prepare Your system.
Increase Your Bodily Resistance.

Leading physicians are recommend
ing various things for the people to do
to guard themselves against the Span.
ish Influenza epidemic which is ex-
pected to break out again this fall and
winter.
They tell you to keep out OF crowded
places, avoid being near people who
have colds, get out into the sunshine
and fresh air and take plenty Of exer-
else, get to bed early at night and
take q little more sleep and rest than
you usually do, eat good, nourishing,
wholesome food and tone up your sys-
tenn.
Plenty of iron in the blood makes vi
tally, strength and resisting power
against disease. Iron-Lax-Tonic Tab
lets should be taken without delay as
a tonic to tone up the system and put
iron into the blood.
There is not supposed to be any
shortage Of this remedy at the present
time hut il you should find drug
store where you cannot buy Iron-Lax-
Tonic Tablets, persist until you find a
store that does sell them.
III would De wen 10 Keep up the
treatment for some weeks. Avoid any
substitutes offered when you ask for
Iron Lax-Tonic Tablets. 1t is always
nearly certain you can reasonably look
for the expected results only when you
insist on the genuine article. The
package of Iron-LaxTonic Tablets
bears the name of the druggist who
originated them r r. J.antapne and
meme other is genuine.

ASSERT POWER OVER DEATH
Two East indiana Make Extrsordl.
nary Claims, Naturally Some
what Hard to Prove.


The dead can be. brought to life.
This remarkable claim has just been
made by q woman doctor Of Rangoon
Burma).
She claims to have prepared certain
remedies, which are to be taken in
ternally and applied externally for a
week, at the end of which any dead
person will revive! As may be ex-
pected, she keeps her remedies a Sc
cret ana she will not disclose their
ingredients to anybody, writes S. b.
Banerjea of Calcutta.
She further claims that the dead
person, when revived, will have new
mind and better features. The treat
ment TO be completely successful
must be continued for month or two.
The Burmese doctor has created a
sensation in the country. Some are
scofling at her. while others are urg-
ing the authorities to test her claims.
In this connection, may state that
some time ago a Hindu doctor made
a similar claim and requested me to
secure dead body for him. Now, no
Hindu or Mussulman will allow any
experiment to be made on the dead
body of near and dead relative.
Their religion forbids such expert
menting. Soon after the doctor had
asked my help, q distinguished Hindu
knight, whom l knew died. / was
urged to sound his relatives. ] did
sound them, but my request was re-
jected. approached certain doc
tors, but they all laughed at me and
refused to help me.

lie wants to be judged by his results.
But who will care to help him?
