Influenza No one who has not had Influenza can realize the suffering it causes or how it defies treatment. I know of nothing that will give such prompt relief as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, for when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the fever sub- sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable. Then again, the after effects of Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if you use Chamberlain's Coug Remed Though the greatest danger from this disease is Pneumonia, I have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and should not be allowed to run on until it becomes troublesome.** HE SCREEN STAR SUPREME CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG IN THE PHOTO-DRAMATIC EVENT OF THE SEASON "THE COMMON LAW BY ROBERT W.

The kidneys act as a kind of filter for these products. When the kidneys are changed or degenerated, by disease or old age, then these poisons are retained in the body. If we wish to pre vent old age coming on too soon, or if we want to increase our chances for a long life, Dr Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. says that you should drink plenty of water daily between meals and with your meals to flush the kidneys. Then procure at your nearest drug store Anuric. This Anuric dnves the uric acid out. If we wish to keep our kidneys in the best condition a diet of milk and vege tables, with onlv little meat once a day, is the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure water, take Anuric three times a day for a month. Anuric is many tunes more potent than lithia and dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar. HOT FLASHES AND PAIN. Little Falls, Minn."Some years ago I was all run-down and weak. I also had gastric stom ach trouble. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Golden Medical Discovery cured me and built me up in the best of health. About three years ago I became run down again. I would have hot flashes and severe pains in my back and side this was due to my age. It was only necessary for me to use just a few bottles of the Prescrip tion' at this time to bring me through this period in splendid shape.
