Heretofore, families ot those who died -without medical attention, could not obtain physicians' certificate's of death.

Ordinarily, undertakers mnst obtain certificates before a burial is allowed.

This is all you will need. Put the inhaler in your mouth and breathe its air deep into the passages: of your nose, throat and lungs. Every particle of air that enters your breathing organs will thus be charged with an antiseptic germ-killing balsam that vill absolutely destroy the germs of influenza that have found lodgment there. You can't do this too often. The Hyomei Inhaler is 'small and can be conveniently carried' in a hand-bag or in your, vestpocket.
