FLU |

The ‘flu epidemic is slightly abating, and you can
do much to reduce the risk of infection.

1. Avoid crowds as much as possible.

2. Be careful of your diet. Partake
freely of fruit, vegetables and milk.
which are alkaline in their re-action.
Avoid draughts, but see that fresh
air is freely admitted to home or
office.

Last and most important, Get a bottle of BUCK.
LEY’S MIXTURE and take a sip several times a
day. BUCKLEY'S is a highly alkaline, germ-de-
stroying mixture, that rids the system of cold.
giving acids, invaluable as a preventive. I/
should take ‘flu, go to bed at once, and call your
doctor. As likely as not he'll tell you to carry on
with BUCKLEY'S. Many doctors do. But be sure
its BUCKLEY’S—the original, genuine, creamy
WHITE MIXTURE,

The ‘flu is too dangerous to experiment with un-
proven preparations and worthless imitations.
BUCKLEY'S became famous during the ‘flu epi-
demic of 1918 and has been famous ever since.
