IA GRIPPE.

There is . general prevalence o
La Grips throughout the country;
No section seems to be exempt from
it. The daily record Of cases il
rapidly increasing, and although MOI
necessarily fatal, quite q number o.
deaths have occurred. We give be.
low an account Of the symptoms Of
the disease, and also the mode Of
treatment, which we find in the Dali.
" States:
In severe cases the stack is usu-
ally sudden and may begin with q
chill, followed by high fever. intense
nervous depression, severe neuralgia
pains, headache and even delirium.
The complication most likely to &C.
cur is broncho-pneumonia, which
may intervene early in the disease.
Inflammation Of the small bronchial
tubes, or capillary bronchitis, 3 very
serious complication, may occur.
Edems of the lungs is another Oc-
casiOnal complication. Serious or
fatal complications, however, sell
dom occur, except in old or debili-
tated persons.
An ordinary cold at the time Of
the epidemic would certainly pre-
dispose to the disease but attention
to the general health would in many
instances secure exemption, aud
would certainly render the system
better able to resist the disease
should it occur.
On the first appearance of the
character of the symptoms men,
toned . full dose of quinine should
be taken. In an adult without any
constitutional peculiarly unfavOra-
BILE to the action Of quinine, the
first dose shonld be twenty grains !:
after this ten grains may be taken
three times . day, unless there
should be intense ringing in the
ears with some impairment Of hear
ing, An attempt should be made
to destroy the microbe by local ap-
plications. These may be made to
the nose and throat. A snuff made
of . drachm and q half of powdered
sugar, . drachm and half of roast
ed coffee finely powdered and three
grains Of menthol, thoroughly
should be used. This should
be drawn into the nostrils, il pos
sible, as far back IS the throat,
every hour or half hour, or even
oftener. This may be used IS freely
as desired. A gargle Of one drachm
Of borax, one drachm Of salicylic
acid, one fluid ounce Of glycerine
and seven ounces Of rose-water
should be used three or four times
in the day. At night ten grains Of
Dover's powder, with hot drinks
and abundant bedclothing, to pro-
mote Precipitation, win be useful.

There comes from Kentucky Q
really charming story. Early last
spring, . turkey Matched . large
brood Of young. The farmer Who
owned the hen aud brood placed .
bell on the mother, and the young.
after they ceased to instinctivelv
follow their lsathered parent, by
force Of habit continued to follow the
bell. The farmer, observing this,
took the bell from the hen. and
when he hoed his tobacco, tied Il
about bis own neck. The youa9
turkeys then followed him up one
row and down another, eating the
worms from the plants. They did
the work Of i've men and saved the
crop.
