Influenza is a constantly recurring epidemic in the colony, and is so insidious in its action that many people are inclined to take but little notice of it when its attacks them. They attempt, by extra exertion, to throw off the lassitude that is one of the prominent symptoms of the disease, and t in the meantime the malady is increasing. The tonic qualities of TUSSICURA have been of the highest value in these cases, strengthening the system and soothing the nerves, and have effected a cure in many instances where other rein dies have tailed. Long-standing cases of Asthma have also been immediately relieved by a few doses o f the mixture.
