e1se in the fresh air and practice
Cleanliness. Remember a clean
mouth, a clean skin, and clean
bowels are a protecting armor
against disease. To keep the liver
and bowels regular and to carry
away the poisons within, it is best
to take a vegetable pill every other
day, made up of May-apple, aloes,
Iaiap, and sugar-coated, to be had
at most drug stores, known as DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If there
is a sudden onset of what appears
like a hard cold, n should go to
bed, wrap warm, take a hot mus
tard foot-bath and drink copiously
of hot lemonade. If pain develops
in head or back, ask the druggist
for DIR. Pierce's Anuric (anti-uric
acid) tablets. They will flush the
bladder and kidneys and carry off
poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches, take one Anuric
tablet every two hours, with fre-
ouent drinks Of lemonade. The
pneumonia appears in a most
ktreacherous way, when the inf1u-
1enza victim is apparently recover
ling and anxious to leave his bed.
In recovering from a bad attack of
influenza or pneumonia the system
should be built up with a good
herbal tonic, such as DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, made
from the roots and barks of Amer
lean forest trees, without alcohol.
It IAN be obtained at any drug
store in tablets or liquid, or send
1Oc to DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, for trial package,
and write for free medical advice.
