Influenza. "AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION WORTH A POUND OF CURE." It has been truly stated that '" an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The New Zealand public are face to face with an Influenza epidemic similar to that which has been raging in other parts of the world. At such a time it stands each individual in the community, in hand to keep a close watch on themselves and maintain their usual standard of health. A dose of Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills two or three times a week or one or two Eills each night is advised. It would also e advisable to take from 5 to 10 grains of ASPIRIN two or three times daily if feeling out of sorts, or 10 grains of QUININE on retiring at night at the same, time the pills are taken. A. common cold can usually be broken up if either QUININE or ASPIRIN is taken with D* Morse's Indian Root Pills as directed on the first indication. Petroleum Oils, Salts, Tonics, and other so-called remedies are of little use to cleanse the system and keep these germs in check; in fact they will have a tendency to aggravate an already deranged gastric condition. Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills are a searching, cleansing remedy, and will drive these germs out of the system. Should, however, an attack of Influenza develop, lose no time in sending for tha family doctor, and eo to bed at once. Tins is the best advice that can be given. Don't try to doctor yourself. If you have the real Influenza your digestion will be a wreck, your head, legs, and back will ache, your heart action will be affected, and you will have a temperature. These conditions need the attention of a skilled medical attendant. He may con* tinue the treatment indicated above or h« may not; but it will only be safe for th« person affected to at once go to bed whe« the first definite Influenza symptoms ap pear, and place yourself wholly and un reservedly in the doctor's care.
