| WASHINGTON, April 4.-In an official conferenc,
| concerning startling fatality in the department.
| and elsewhere, . prominent army surgeon to-da,
said:
1.-THE annals Of Hygiene seems to have solved tn,
cause. for in a recent number its editor states:
".How many cases of incurable organic disease
have had their origin in the grippe, of course it is
impossible to ascertain statstcally but that many
persons are invalided or dead whose departure
from health dates from attack of the grippe the
experience Of our readers will, we are sure, bear
ample proof.
The surgeon also read this extract from a COM
munication by DR.. Brockett published in the Medt-
cal World.
"'Autopsies held on subjects known to have had
Ia grippe and supposed to have fully recovered,
who died suddenly, show structural changes in the
medulla aud spinal cord.
:'Our State and private insane asylums are rap
idly filing up from this source. The country is
strewed with mental grip wrecks which will re-
main with us as sad reminder after the disease
has taken its final departure
Continuing, the surgeon said: 'Much expert
mentng has been done to remedy this peculiar con-
dition Of the system, and carefully prepared sta
tistics FROM reports made by physicians in different
parts of the country show that the discovery of
Prof. Phelps, of Dartmouth College, known as
Paine's Celery Compound is the most successful in
treating these shattered wrecks.
'.Dr. W. E. Anthony. Of Providence. reports:
The patients where used Paine's Celery Com
pound expressed themselves much pleased with the
general tonic effect experienced from its As
tonic and restorative 1t to meet the indica-
tions in cases of debility, which q rule the
sequel Of la grippe
&C. E. Wells. M. D.. Of Sag Harbor, N. T., re-
ports that he used Paine's Celery Compound in
cases Of nervous prostration following Ia grippe
with most satisfactory results.
''The famous Boston surgeon. DIR. A. W. K.
Newton, states very emphatically that this COM
pound is the most reliable tonic and strength giver
he has found for this peculiar and dangerous con-
dition Of the system.''
In conclusion. the surgeon said: ''Paine's Celery
Compound is not patent medicine. 1t is q scien-
tifc discovery whose formula is known to most
physicians. 1t must not be confounded with the
ordinary nervines. bitters and sarsaparas. for it
is as much superior to them in formula and results
the diamond is superior to cheap glass. 1t puri-
ies the blood, strengthens the nerves. and is ma
ture's food for the brain-such medicine is
absolute necessity in cases of grp-wreck.'
physician, whose practice is next to the largest
III Washington, said:
81 find this tale q very common one among my
patientss oh! doctor, the grip left me in ter
rible state. I have a continual buzzing in my
ears and they seem to be stopped mp; my head
aches nearly all the time; II take little cold my
throat and chest are choked up; at times it seems
as though my heart would jump into my throat;
1 can't sleep; am SO nervous that tremble
nearly all the time; feel tired and have no amb-
ton to work.''
The physician further said: II tell such people
to buy half dozen bottles of Paine's Celery Com
pound. which seems to be natures remedy for
this serious trouble: I know of nothing else that
will help them. and that amount is generally
enough to drive from the system the poison germs
left by Ia grippe.''
