Sixth, protuse sweating occurs IN some
cases, especially after the disease has

less frequently coughing, are among
the earliest symptoms. Eighth, usually
an intense frontal headache. which
continues more Or less during the whole
cource of the disease. Ninth, aching
and soreness of the muscles Of the
whole body. Each case presents slight
variations, dependent on age, condition
of health, etc. During such an epidem-
ic as this one the slightest indispositlon
should be at once attended to, as few
doses of the proper remedy in the
start will do more thanltwo weeks of
treatment after it fastens itself on the
system.

quent followers Of La Grippe. How
ever different observers may account
for it, the fact remains that every cpl
demic brings with it fearful death
rate.
Ihave long since passed through what
may be called the experiment stage OF
the doctors history. In the beginning
of my medical career /, like many
other physicians, used many drugs. but
experience gradually taught me which
the reliable few were. Since the cpl
demic of La Grippe of 1860 have used
invariably in the treatment of this
scOurge; Pe-ru-na. This remedy so
exactly meets all of the symptoms of
La Grippe that it Is folly to lose time in
experimenting with other remedies.
At the appearance Of the first symp-
toms treatment should be begun at
once, and keep strictly to the house for
q few DAYS. No treatment, however
effcctual it may be, will always prevent
quite long siege with the disease,
but no other medical treatment is
necessary than Pe-ru-na. The di-
rections, rs they are given on the
bottle, are more applicable to chron-
ic diseases, and 1t is advisable, dur
ing the acute stage of the disease, TO
take tablespoonful Of Pe-ru-na every
hour for adults, and q correspondlngiy
less dose for children. During the
night, ii the patients are quietly sleep
ing, 1t IS not my custom to wake them
TO take medicine, but If restless PERU
ma should be given regularly the whole
twenty-four hours. The recovery is
generally slow, even in slight
cases. For many days the patient
will complain of weakness, slight head
ache. want of appetite, etc. Pe-ru-na
should be taken until the recovery IS
complete, but after the fever is SUBJ
sided and the acute stage Is past it is
better to take it according to the dircc-
tons on the bottle. Beef tea, mutton
broth and milk, should he freely given
according 10 tho preference of the
patient.
People who have La Grippe, the acute
stage having passed aud their recovery
has come To standstill. as is frequent
liz the case, will ind IN Pe-ru-na exactly
the remedy that is suited to their case.

not too late to expect perfect

other treatment whatever. Many
