Much of the difficulty experienced
by health authorities in checking the
spread of Influenza lies in the fact
that it spreads with almost lightning
rapidity. Although state and city au-
thorities have succeeded in keeping it
under control in some sections, the
disease has gotten entirely beyond
control in others.
1t is universally agreed by all we'll
informed persons that the surest pre-
ventive is to get the system into the
best possible physical condition, in or

possible to perfect the powers of hu-

off almost any infection, not except
