Be careful of close contact with others and I beware of all coughers and sneezers; breathe through the nose. Get lots of rest. Eat plenty of citrus fruits. r. Keep the bowels open. Take every precau J tion to keep in good physical condition, so your system will have high resistance against germs. 4 Above all, avoid catching cold. Any cold may be the forerunner of flu. Take Bayer Aspirin at the first sign of a cold and you can ward it off. Gargle with Bayer Aspirin at first sign of sore throat as this will re move the infection. c If you have any reason to suspect even a J touch of flu, call your doctor.
