grip cannot be avoided, in the first
place, if a person has to go out of
doors; and as to curing it, of course
the remedies are as various as the
different forms of the disease.
Much depends upon the age and
previous condition of the person
afflicted. But there are several
genera! rules which are very neces-
sary to follow and will produce
good results no matter what form
the disease takes. In the first in
stance, when person first feels
shivery, chilly, feverish, etc.. he
should go Immediately to bed.
There is nothing 60 good as cud-
ding up snugly and warmly in bed
and remaining there until the fever
is dissipated. After this point has
been reached certain amount Of
nutritious food should be taken at
regular intervals, although the pa.
tient will not have much appetite.
1.-The food should be taken, how
ever, and at regular intervals, either
liquid or substantial, if the patient
can take the latter. Again, in al
most every case, alcohol in one form
or another is very necessary and
stimulating, and should be taken,
say in punch form, in small doses !;
and last of all and fully as impor-
tant when you think you are well
don't force your energies. Don't go
out too soon, but remain in bed for
a'day or two and thoroughly regain
your strength, the same as you
would if you were recovering from
very severe illness. These are
the essential rules which will apply
to every case; but as regards med
icants there is no rule, as this is
entirely governed by the nature of
the case"
DR.. Thomas Hollingsworth An
drews was found at his home, 1119
Spruce street, recovering from a
mild attack of the malady and he
was carrying out his own course Of
treatment, which consists mainly
of rest. He said: II don't believe
that the grip can readily be avoided
except by observing the same per-
sonal care that one takes to avoid
taking cold-namely, staying in
doors as much as possible, avoiding
cold, damp night air, looking out
for damp feet. These are leading
causes Of the grip, and I think the
fact that women are particularly
exempt from it proves this to great
extent. In my opinion the grip is
not nearly so prevalent or severe
now as it was when it first appeared.
think it is a milder form, more
rheumatic than catarrhal, as seen
in its effects upon the lungs. 1t may
be that we are becoming more ac-
climated, or it may be that the
malady is milder.
ITO my mind, rest is the most
important factor IN It's eraulcatlon.
Go to bed and take absolute and
complete rest and it will do more
good than medicine. Many people
60 right ahead with their work while
suffering from it because their con-
stitutions are stronger and they are
better able to perform their duties
than others. There is no doubt
about it, almost every one you meet
has a touch of it. You notice it in
your daily walks in the meeting of
friends, who, to the usual salutation
of How are your reply, 'Oh | don't
know what's the matter, but | don't
feel very good That is the general
way. They are not absolutely i'll,
but they don't feel we'll.
