Beware Influenza ! None of us will forget the dread Influenza epidemic of 1918 —and the recent cables telling that influenza in its most icvere form has broken out in Tonga, reminds us that the last visitation came from the Islands. PREVENTION is better than cure. The utmost care should be taken. At the first sign of the " Flu" go to bed immediately, and do not get out for any reason. Take Boimin^ton’Si IrishOMbss This safe and sure remedy proved of immense value in the last epidemic. | Thousands testify to its merits in pro- ! moting recovery and saving the lungs from serious trouble. Better still, it is the best specific in guarding against Influenza infection for it forms an anti- | septic film on the threat and bronchial tubes, hence Influenza germs cannot find lodgment. Escaped “ Flu ” in the Big Epidemic Mr J. Rhodes, Salisbury Street. Christchurch, writes :—“ We took Bonnington s Irish Moss during the Influenza Epidemic, and are. quite sure that it saved us a lot of trouble.” Be on guard—take the surest preventive measures —take Bonnington* Irish Moss during the present danger.
