For this purpose their number

Avoid colds or FLU" by
doing two easy things
Keep your system in
good condition.
protect your nose
and throat

THERE is no use worrying all
1 winter for fear you will catch
cold or get flu. Do the following
svs things and forget it: First. keep
your system in good condition, and,
second, keep your nose and throat
well protected. The chances are you
will avoid contagion.
As first precaution, many doctors
arc prescribing Nujol. 1t is not =
laxative OF eathartic but 4 pure,
natural substance that helps your
system function at all times the way
nature intended it to. Like pure
water, it is harmless. Physicians
agree that, particularly in times Of
epidemic, purging BY laxatives and
cathartics is not advisable.
Many doctors are now prescribing
Nujol, as in no case docs it cause ex-
haustion or weakening Of the sys-
TEN in any way. Take it every night;
it will keep you in first class oondi-
tion. You will have 4 far better
chance to resist colds OF FLU" OF
any diseases chat are going therounds.
As a second safety measure, use
Mistol, as it protects the nose and
throat against the germs Of inau-
enza. Use it every morning, the first
thing, before you 60 out. Again,
When you come home At night.
Don't be afraid to use it freely; it
Xil do NO harm.

To wrest it from his hand.

His eye ball flash'd with fire:
Each hairy limb with fury shook.
And all his heart was ire.
