Influenza Doesn't Worry the Chinese

Just as in 1918, now again in 1927, people of various nations are worrying greatly over the Influenza, but the Chinese are scarcely paying any attention to the present epidemic. Many thousands of years ago Chinese herbalists worked out a formula for the relief of colds. This same formula has accomplished wonders in Influenza cases.

The herbal compound for an ordinary cold consists of three kinds of herbs to open the pores of the skin, and other kinds of herbs to rid the lungs of fever (inflammation). As the large intestines are a suborgan of the lungs, while these herbs are acting upon the lungs, they are at the same time allaying the fever or inflammation of the large intestines. Some herbs are also put in to pacify the liver, while others are added to equalize the functioning of the stomach. If the sufferer's cold has developed into a cough, herbs are also included to soothe the bronchial tubes and the lungs.

When an individual has taken the herbs continuously for some time, his blood is so thoroughly cleansed that there is no congestion, and his pores function freely. In consequence, he rarely catches cold. The Chinese herb treatment for a cold is beneficial to the entire system, and is very different from the treatments prescribed by other schools of healing, in which alcoholic liquor is often used. The fever. or inflammation in the system is thus augmented instead of being driven out.

Herbs for colds also tend to drive away Influenza germs, just as tobacco plants keep insects away from the garden, and tobacco smoke keeps away snakes.

As a result of their experience in the epidemic of 1918, many Americans now realize how speedy and lasting is the benefit to be derived from the Herbal Remedies provided by Mother Nature. TESTIMONIALS ::
