GRIP? KNOCK IT OUT
Victim Tells of Decoction
Cured Him Quickly.
That
Prescription Brought From France by
Soldier Son Saved Him Many
Days and Nights of Misery,
and a Doctor’s Bill.
The symptoms wore unmistakable.
Pains shot op my back and through
my head. Sneeze followed -1*• • z• • and
I felt os weak tie, but more- In• 11 >1«
than, a kitten.
When I got home from the office-—
and I don't know how I managed to
crawl there—my whole body was one
large ache. My wife rushed to meet
me at the gate.
"Jock's come home on leave, dear,”
•he said, throwing her arms around my
Deck In sheer ecstasy. ‘‘He got four-
teen days. Isn’t It simply glorious?”
(Jack Is our soldier hoy.)
I didn't like to do so. hut on the
grounds of expediency I gently but
firmly pushed her off.
“Be enreful, old girl," I explained.
“I've got It."
She knew hy my watery eyes what
I meant hy It, and slipped her arm
In mine to help me up the path. I wns
glad of her assistance, for I wns shiv-
ering all over and felt very depressed.
“Jack will be disappointed. lie’s
looking forward to having such a good
time, and now It looks us if you will
be in all the time."
With a groan, I curled up on the
couch.
“Whatever are we to do?” she asked
ss ahe brought my slippers. "I’ve noth-
ing In the house and the shops are all
closed. Goodness knows where we can
find a doctor, and poor Jack will soon
be hack, lie’s .lust run round to have
a peep at Gwen."
The situation was certainly desper-
ate. My head seemed to he bursting,
and so did my heart. This was n poor
sort of welcome to give to our soimie
after years of absence, and I will free-
ly own that hy this time something
else as well as Influenza w: - respon-
sible for my watery eyes.
"Yes, dad,” said Jack half an hour
later as he sat by my bed, “a month
ago I thought some of us were In for
a terrible time. We never had such a
drenching nml couldn’t get a blessed
bit of clothing dry. We ached all over.
In fact, we were Just about 1 i 1 ■ y< ■ «
It was rotten luck, too, for we ml ■ a
•ome of the fun. Hut lust when we
were at our worst, a French peasant
told us he knew of something that
would soon put us right. He told us
he had two herbs In bis garden which
he believed would sin* half the v Id
If they were only used. I
and peppermint, tIn■ e were the two
"Well, he dropped a handful of each
In a Jug and made a strong infu ion
hy porn . g a pint and n half of boil-
ing water over them, Just us i i
done. lie let It steep for about linlf
an boor on the hob. then strained and
sweetened It, and made us drink It as
hot as we could undid It. He simply
•naked us with It. but the next day
we werl* like new men.
"Wlmt, do you sav you can lmrdly
believe it? Well, here comes mother
with a Jugful. It was lucky I had some
with me, and I'll take good care never
to he without It. Now take a good
•wig of this. It’s quite nice. Then
cover up and we'll pile on the clothes."
Sooner than I could have believed,
the perspiration was rolling down my
face In grand style, hater on I emptied
the Jug aud fell into a deep, refreshing
sleep.
The next morning the feeling of en-
nui hnd passed away. My head wal
clearer, and 1 could even make a Joke.
The day after I was able to sit up, and
I’ve never looked Imek since.
Now this Is not a fairy tale, but a
•ober fact, and If all who are victims
of the Influenza fiend would try Ibis
magic potion they would soon be
breathing benedictions on the head of
that unknown peasant in 1 land. i s. It
!■ so harmless that you cannot use It

not give It In vain.—FulTnlo Express.
