WHAT THE LONDON “TIMES" SAYS ABOUT INFLUENZA.
At the commencement of this year, when influenza was reaching its height and assuming very serious proportions in London, the ‘"rimes” had the following in its columns. We quote this, as it is written by an authority whose words carry weight, and who gets to the real secret of the prevention of influenza:
"Influenza has so far baffled research; we know, however, that it is highly contagious, its onset is sudden, and that the best thing we can do to escape it is to avoid whatever may tend to lower the tone of the system.”
This is the root of the matter. Influenza attacks those who, by lack of vigour and tone in the system, have left a loophole for its entrance. The main thing, then, is to keep in good health whilst this scourge is so prevalent. This can only lie done by keeping up the general tone of the system, and so enable the various organs to carry out. their respective duties, the tendency to catch colds and influenza being thereby greatly minimised.
The body is extremely susceptible' to chills, and the slightest draught* causes a violent attack of coughing or sneezing. Many so-called cures for influenza fail to get at the root of the trouble, and only afford temporary relief. A medicine that will brace up the system, keep the liver in thorough and regular working order, and the digestion rigtyt, will, without doubt, prove the most effective preventative and sure for Influenza and cold*. This is whet Bile Beans for Biliousness will do, and we maintain that no better remedy caw be found for these ailiseiKe. Bile Beans have been proved in hundreds of cases to be the most effective known remedy in dealing witfc influenza, cotdn, mb A all ailui—(a neiaiMg from such complaints
