SPANISH INFLUENZA MORE DEADLY THAN WAR Said That Epidemic Cost More Lives Than American Loss in Battle. Danger Not Over. Great Care Nec essary to Prevent Further Outbreak. The appalling ravages of Spanish Influenza in this country arc perhaps best realized by the statement re cently made, that more deaths have resulted in little more than a month from this disease than through our wholo eighteen months participation in the battles of the European War. Our greatest danger now, declare authorities, is the great American tendency to forget easily and to be lieve (he peril is over. Competent authorities claim the coming of cold weather is very apt to bring a re turn of this disease and there should bo no let-up throughout the winter months of the following easily ob served precautions, remembering that Influenza is far easier to prevent than cure. Influenza is a crowd disease. Avoid crowds as much as possible. Influ enza germs spread when ignorant or careless persons sneeze or cough with out using a handkerchief. Cover up each cough or sneeze. Do not spit on the floor, sidewalk, in street cars or public places. Avoid the use of com mon drinking cups nnd roller towels in public places. Breathe some reliable germicidal and antiseptic air to de stroy the germs that do find lodge ment in your nose and throat. Remember, no safer precaution against Influenza could be employed in this manner than to get from the nearest drug store a complete Hyomei Outfit consisting of a bottle of the Pure oil of Hyomei and a little vest-pocket hard , rubber inhaling device, into which a few drops of the oil are poured, You I should carry this Inhaler about with you during the day and each half hour or so put it in your mouth and draw deep breaths of its pure, healing germ killing air into the passages of your nose, throat nnd lungs. By destroying germs before they actually begin work in your blood, you may make yourself practically immune to infection. All these suggestions about Span ish Influenza are equally true in the prevention of colds, catarrh of nose .and throat, bronchitis and even pneu monia. Don't become careless. Do your part. Keep the germs away. You may save yourself a serious ili vSiess and the loss of several weeks Work. On sale by H. C. Kennedy. backache ? bjL' Rheumatism? Tlioso of us who arc past middle age are prone to eat too much meat and in consequence deposit lime-salts „jn the arteries, veins and joints. We often suffer from twinges of rheu matism or lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen hands or feet. There is no longer the slightest need of this, however, as the new prescrip tion, "Anurlc," is bound to give im mediate results as it is many times more potent than lltliia, in ridding the impoverished blood of its poi sons byway of the kidneys. It can be obtained at almost' any drug store, by simply asking for "Anurlc" for kidneys or backache. It will over come such conditions as rheumatism, dropsical swellings, cold extremities, scalding and burning urine and sleep lessness due to constant arising from bed at night. Send to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Ho tel. Buffalo, N. Y., for a ten-cent trial package. CHESTER, PA.— "In March 191fi I was taken with rheumatism in my right knee. I could not walk for ten davs, and had to use a crutch and u stick for more than two months. After trying different remedies and getting no relief I saw an advertise ment of Anuric in the papers. (I then lived at Snyder, Texas.) 1 sent for a trial package as I could not get Anuric at the drug stores. Before 1 had taken all of the trial package 1 saw it was helping me. I then bought, two bottles of 'Anuric Tablets.' Be fore I had taken half a bottle I could vt'alk without a stick. I continued to take them until I had taken -nearly two bottles (dieting myself as direct ed), and I was well my knee has given me no more trouble since. I cannot say too much for Anurlc/'W. M.
