The Sequelae of La Grippe.

Among all of the various acute and exhaustive illnesses that afflict mankind, there is none that so generally results in distinct prostration as epidemic influenza, or La Grippe. Even the grippal infections which are uncomplicated or unaccompanied by serious organic changes are more than apt to leave the patient in a thoroughly devitalized condition after the acute febrile symptoms have subsided. It is for this reasonthat the treatment of La Grippe convalescence is of special importance. The anemic, debilitated, depressed patient requires a systemic "booster" that will not only stimulate but revivify and reconstruct. It is distinctly, wise, in such cases, to commence vigorous tonic treatment as early as possible, preferably by means of Pepto-Mangan (Gude), the hemic builder and general reconstituent. This standard hematinic increases the vital elements of the circulating blood and, by increasing the appetite and improving the absorptive and assimilative functions, quickly restores both hemic and general vitality.
