EPIDEMIC DAYS.
A WORD OF ADVICE TO USERS OF Dll. MORSE’S INDIAN ROOT PILLS.
During these Influenza Epidemic days the public are in the habit of using Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills, are advised to use them a little more fr.eely than during normal times. Those who are familiar with the directions which accompany each bottle, know that overdosing with this remedy is never urged—neither are the people made to believe they have imaginary ills, simply to sell a few more pills. A good pill, however, is supplied the public to meet the requirements of the healthy man and woman—who from time to time find that nature needs a little assistance. One person might require only one pill, a week, some two or three times a week, while still others may need from one to three daily. So those, who are in the habit of taking Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills, soon learn to a nicety the exact number to take to keep their system in proper working order, but while this Epidemic rages, it is strongly advised that Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills be taken much more freely than in normal times. It is suggested that from 1 to 3 pills he taken nightly with 10 grains of Aspirin. Don’t let any waste to accumulate in the system for therein lurks the germs which cause disease. When the Epidemic abates, reduce the number of pills taken just enough to keep the system working smoothly. By taking these simple precautions, catching the Epidemic may be avoided. Give the Doctor a Chance—ln case of feeling out of sorts with general pains in the back, heard, or legs, don’t go chasing round looking for a doctor, but go home and send for one. Don't fright on some medical practitioner to death, by the fear that you may have infected his waiting room full of patients, and himself as well. It is only fair to give the medical man a chance to deal with your case with as much safety to himself as possible, and this ho cannot do if you go hunting for him.
