THE PREVALENCE OF THE GRIP,

Grip is about as lively as ever with
it's Jaws, and it is clutching here,
there and everywhere in general
way. The symptoms OF the influenza
are similar in most instances. The
patient feels chilly, and has the shiv-
ers, which is followed by headache
and a sense of tightness across the
forehead; the eyes become tender
and watery; there is sneezing and
a copious acrid discharge from the
nose, followed by an uneasy feeling
about the throat, hoarseness, a
troublesome cough, sense of con-
traction in the chest and an oppres-
sion in breathing. The symptoms
are those of a very bad cold, to
which are added a loss of strength
with great depression of feelings.
The prostration is more essentially
a part of the disorder than the ca
tarrhal affection. There are pains in
the limbs and back, and OF much
soreness and tenderness in every part
of the body. The most common
complications are bronchitis, infam-
nation of the lungs and rheums tism.
In the most severe cases delirium is a
prominent symptom, and is regarded
as an unfavorable sign. The disease
is not usually regarded as severe.
In 1887 the death rate in London
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1895-03-15

was per cent and this was uniyer-
sally acknowledged to be severe
outbreak. 1t has been calculated
that in that year more people died of
influenza than OF cholera, which
ragged few years previously. There
are no means known by which in
fluenza can beprevented, uniavorable
hygienic conditions and especially
overcrowding, highten its prevalence
but persons under the most favor
able circumstances may be attacked.
Persons who are always warmly
clothed and never exposed to inclem-
ent weather contract the disease just
as readily as the poorly-clad labor
err.
The general treatment pursued is
to keep the room cool and properly
ventilated, and to put the patient to
bed. Draughts and chills must be
avoided because of the risk of inflam-
nation of the lungs. AS there is
usually complete loss of appetite,
plenty of milk should be given, alone
or mixed with soda-water. The first
spread Of the disease generally
known was in 827 A. d., when an
attack of the cough spread like
plague over the whole ofEurope, and
40 or so years later, the army of
Charlemagne, returning from Italy,
suffered most severely from the COM
plant. Among the epidemics of the
present century the most notable oc-
Cured in 1903, 1881, 1888, 1887
and 1847. A curious circumstance
about these epidemics is that they
travel or migrate from place to
place, and do so in spite of adverse
winds or variations of temperature.
1t has been known to pass from
Chinese Tartary to Russia, Germany,
Holland, England, Scotland, France,
and then to Italy and the Mediterra-
mean or to this country in rapid sue
cession.-T Springfield Rebuplican.

waters went rushing on sonthward, dev.

a still older channel running southeast.

TO light the place by night. A narrow

were provided. Some machinery was

thousand of cartlods of long stalks and
brush were brought from the nearer
