THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, 8. 0., FEBRUARY 2, 18*19 7 LAGRIPPE IS CONTAGIOUS.; CONGLOMERATED CHEROKEE ATMOSPHERE IMPREGNATED WITH GERMS. Disease Proved Beyond Question to be Infectious—Is Rapidly Conquering the Country. LaGrippe is n contagious disease. Its specific germ has been positively identified, and it is transmitted from person to person either by direct con tact or by inhaling the germs while they float in the air. It is a danger ous disease, lowering the vitality and wasting the resistive power so that pneumonia, heart disease, nervous prostration and insanity find easy vic tims. No specific is known that will kill the Grip germ, but it may be driven out and its effects overcome by the prompt use of Dr. Miles Restora tive Nervine. ‘•LaGrippe left my nervous system so racked and shattered that I could not sleep and for two months was un der the influence of narcotics. Phy sicians and friends gave me up to die; but in two days after I commenced taking Dr Miles Restorative Nervine I began to improve, and in a months time I was entirely cured. It is the greatest health restorer on earth.” D \V. Hiltos, Louisville, Ky. All druggists are authorized to sell Dr. Miles Nervine on a guarantee that first bottle benefits or money re funded.
