Physicians agree that, particularly in
times of epidemic, purging BY laxa-
tives and cathartios is not advisable.
Many doctors arc therefore prescrib-

Keep your system in good
condition; also protect your
nose and throat

There's no need to get panicky, because the papers are
full of news of an influenza epidemic. There's no use in
isolating yourself because a lot of other people are sick
with it. If you take certain simple precautions every
day-and then don't worry the chances are you will
throw off any "au' germs you are exposed to, and
keep well.
We're not accommodating that you dose yourself
with a lot of medicines, either. Just observe two
common-sensc health rules which can be easily followed.
