"Grip, Influenza- Hamlin's Wizard Oil a Reliable, Antiseptic Preventive- During influenza epidemics spray the nose and throat several times day with one part Wizard Oil and two parts water, using an atomizer. If you haven't an atomizer, gargle the throat and snuff the mixture up the nose. This treatment sets up an antiseptic wall of defense against "Flu" germs. Chest colds and sore throat lead to grip. Stop them at once with Wizard Oil before they can develop into dangerous influenza. Get it from druggists for 30c. If not satisfied, return the bottle and get your money back. Ever constipated or have sick head-ache? Just try Wizard Liver Whips, pleasant little pink pills, 30c at druggists. Guaranteed."
