———
After an attack of influenza, doc
| , tors advise that nature be assisted
in its building-up process by the
i J use of a good tonic —one that will
! > not only put strength and endur
ance into the body, but will also
I help to build up and strengthen the
i run-down cells of the brain.
One of the most highly recom
, mended remedies to put energy in
! ] to both body and brain is Bio-feren
\ —your physician knows tho form
ula—it is printed below.
There's iron in Bio-feren—the
kind of iron that makes red blood
corpuscles and creates vigor. There
is lecithin also; probably the best
brain invigorator known to science.
Then there Is good old reliable gen
tian. that brings back your lagging
appetite.
There are other ingredients that
help to promote good health, as
you can see by reading this form
ula, not forgetting kolo. that great
agent that puts the. power of en
durance into weak people.
Taken altogether Bio-feren is a
splendid active tonic that will
> greatly help any weak, run-down
. t person to regain normal strength,
energy, ambition and endurance.
Bio-feren is sold by all reliablo
druggists and is inexpensive. For
1 weakness after influenza patients
are advised to take two tablets
after each meal and one at bed
time seven a day, until health,
strength and vigor are fully re
stored.
It will not fall to help you and
i if for any reason you are dlssatls-
I fled with results yonr druggist is
I! authorized to return your money
upon request—without any red tape
f of afiy kind.
Note to physicians: There is no
I secret about the formula of Bio
feren, it is printed on every pack
age. Here it Is: Lecithin; Calcium
I Glycero-phospbate; Iron Peptonate,
| Manganese Peptonate; Ext. Nux.

! LIEUT. BASSLER
RETURNS AFTER 1
| OVERSEAS DUTY'
! Tells About Hospital Work
Under Shell Fire and
Air Raids
j Lieutenant William J. Bassler is
| in Harrisburg again. Six months ago
i he was stationed here, an interne at
j the Harrisburg Hospital and went to
! France with a hospital unit.
| Lieutenant Bassler is hero on a
i three days' leave, and arrived this
j morning. He was greeted at the hos
! pital by dozens of his friends among
I the physicians, nurses and attend
ants. In a day ox two he will return
jto Fort Totten, N. Y.. where he
I either will be discharged or returned
1 to duty.
! Lieutenant Bassler has a story to
I tell of noble heroism by physicians
: and nurses under shell fire and air
; raids and bombardments, during
| which every moment brought dozens
jof wounded Americans from the
j firing line to tho hospital fifteen
miles to ihe rear. With Red Cross
| and army physicians and nurses, he
i helped to give comfort and peace to
: the wounded hoys who came some
; times as many as live hundred in a
night to tho hospital. He tells of the
ambulances streaming back from the
i front, bearing their melancholy bur
j dens of shattered men. and stopping
jat The hospital to discharge the
i wounded. Oftentimes —nearly always
|in fact, the hospital filled up to
! overflowing, and then tho grim pro
| cession of ambulances streamed past
1 it to tho next in the rear, and those
i in turn would be filled up with the
| wounded soldiers.
j The doctors and nurses wefre *iot
| tho only brave ones in Camp Hos
pital No. 13, hack of the Argonne
Maine front, where Lieut. Bassler
was stationed. Ho tells how tho
wounded Americans, no matter what
j their condition, always pleaded that
the doctors give their attention to
I tho other wounded liojs. He said the
morale of the Americans was posi-
I tively unshakeable.
Lieut. Bassler tells how the work
; was accomplished to the constant
! accompaniment of heavy artillery
j tire up at the front, and that numer
! ous times thf Roche raided the
; town. He declared the air raids were
| the most dreaded of the eneryy ac
tivities. His description of one is
: short and simple.
"You suddenly see a light, away
i up overhead, streaking it across the
j sky. There is a terrific four. It is a
I bomb. It may strike you, and it may
strike the other fellow. Believe me,
! you get your religion over there. Y'ou
larn how to pray."
; Lieut. Bassler encountered an old
• friend and a widely known Harris
[ burger, doing Y. M. C. A. work at
i Mailly, France. It was Miss Suzanne
i Westbrook, daughter of Dr. Cher
! rick Westbrook. He went into the
i Y. M. C. A. and met her quite by
! accident. They had been friends in
• Harrisburg.
! The lieutenant returned to' Amer
[ ica in the Mongolia, with 800 wound
:ed soldiers, landing at Hoboken,
| December 22.
Lieutenant Bassler was graduated
■ from the University of Pennsylvania
j in 1917, and came here to the hos
; pital. He made many friends during
1 his year's stay in the city. He en
i listed In the Medical Reserves, and
| was called July 1. He first went to
j Fort McPherson, Ga., and then to
; Fortress Va. He went over
' seas with the 7 4th Artillery Battal
| ion, C. A. landing at St. Nizarre,
j France. He was overseas about six
months.
