"Encouraging reports of the fewer cases of influen'za in this vicinity should not allow us to relax our' vigi lance or to become careless in the be lief that the danger is over," says a wecll known authority. With the com ing of cold .weather there is apt to 'be a return of this frightful epidemic and its seriousness will depend on the ex tent of the precautions taken by the public to prevent infections. 'When the altr is full of influenza rms, you may be constantly breath .ng them into your nose and throat.

During the recent serious epidemic wvhich hit JAurens so htard, most sue cessful results wvero obtainedl by many through the simple breathing into the nose, throat and lungs of the medica ted air of oil of Ilyomol.
