INFLUENZA
AND WEAK
BLOOD
Run Down and Listless Condition
May Make You a Target for
the Flu"
BECAUSE BLOOD is PROBABLY
THIN.
At This Time of Danger. Take Pento-
Mangan-It Builds Rich
Red Blood.

No matter how we'll you usually
are, if temporarily you're run down,
you re target for the influenza.
Contagion always gets listless peo-
pie first. Whether they realize it or
not. their blood is thin and under
nourished-in no condition to fight
off the germs it meets everywhere.
1t is a wise precaution to take a
good tonic at this time of danger
some well-known builder of red, Wig
orous blood, like Petpo-Mangan.
And if you did not think of this in
time-if you are now recovering
from fight with infuenza-your
blood will need help for weeks after
you think the danger is past.
Take no unnecessary chances. Get
Pepto-Mangan and start taking it
today. Pepte-Mangan is an effective
blood builder that has had the en-
dorsement of physicians for years.
Pepto- Mangan is sold by druggists
in either liquid or tablet form, just as
preferred. There is no difference in
medicinal value. But be sure you get
the genuine Pepto-Mangan. Ask for
Guides Pepto-Mangan and be sure the
name is on the package.-(adv.)

MANY CASES Of
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posture, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid
rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of lad Salts; put tablespoonful
in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou-
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism Here you have a pleasant.
effervescent lithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to Your kidneys as well

over the world in numerous epidem-
les as far back as history runs. Hip

to have been influenza. Every CEN
tury has had its attack The infiu-
enza of October and November, 1889,
and that of April and May, 1890
were very general or universal in
the United States, and unusually Sc
we're. A like influenza epidemic pre-
vailed in the winters of 1925 and
1926 and last year, and now it is
back again this year.
Prevent it this year. Take Herb
O-Lax Tonic. the new root and herb
Tonic for the stomach, liver kidneys,
and blood, such as Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, bad rundown
system, etc. If your system is in
good shape, you will be more than
apt to go through this epidemic with
out having the flu. but if your sys-
TEN is in bad shape, look out.

REVIEW OF THE
PLAY

A fairly good house attended the
production of ooh, Lady, Lady," a
musical comedy, at the opera house
last night. The production was
of a disappointment to the
audience, who expected an extraor-
dinarily good show, the authors hav-
ing turned out previous excellent en-
tertainments. The play suffered
much because of an inferior company
although several members showed
pleasing ability. The lines were
bright, and the songs gave indica-
ton that in the hands of better sing
ers they might have been highly en-,
joyable.
