great work-men who both hear and
understand the message of God. Just
as there have been artists to make us
see i'll nature what otherwise we should
have missed seeing, orators who have
made us understand our own thoughts
and dreams. so there have been pro-
phets and teachers. men who, like
Moses, could see the invisible, and who
understood the will OF jehovah and
saw the things to come. One strong
proof of their divine calling is found In
the fact that our hearts respond at

the gospel of Jesus Christ, We'll. thou

CONCERNING INFLUENZA.
karsserc3as Complications ~ nlets = u
tend the Various
Forms.

influenza, or the grippe, IS an acnte
Infectious fever which usually occurs
in widespread epidemics. 1t travels
as cholera formerly did, in waves over
the world, running generally from the
east to the west. It attacks very
LARGE proportion Of the population, es-
pecially at the beginning Of an epl-
de.nic; then in recurrent years ii se1zes
upon those who have previously es~
capped, and the epidemic does rot FINAL
~ die out until nearly everyone mas
suffered it's miseries.
Medical writers usually distinguish
three forms of influenza, according as
the nervous, the digestive, OF the ca
tarrhal symptoms predominant; bur
all constitute one and the same dis
ease, and one form may easily pass
into another in the course Of the same
attack.
In typical case Influenza begins sud
denly with general i'll feeling, head
ache, pains in the muscles and in the
back, loss of appetite, and sense OF
extreme weakness. There may be a
hard chill, or succession Of slight
soon high fever declares itself.
The eyes are often congested and
sensitive to light, the nose runs, there
is pain at the root OF the Il ose and over
the eyes and all the symptoms Of & Sc
we're cold in the head are experienced,
The tongue is heavily coated, swal-
lowing is difficult or painful, and the
voice is hoarse or whispering. Often
there is more or less jaundice. The
pulse is very rapid and weak, especially
when the patient stands.
4 peculiar symptom in Influenza, one
that often serves to distinguish IL sharp
~ from an ordinary cold, is a marked
depression of spirits; the patient Is
plunged in despair, ard 10 amount Of
argument CT raillery has any effect
en- his misery. In some severe cases
Of the so-called nervous form Of the dis
ease this melancholy is SO extreme as
to lead to attempts al suicide.
In the gastric form Of influenza we
find loathing for food, nausea and
vomiting, and severe bowel troubles.
In the respiratory forms, bronchitis and
especially pneumonia are frequent and
dangerous complications.
In the treatment Of grippe we must
first remember that we are dealing with
no ordinary cold. but with a severe dis
ease calling for as much care as scar
let fever or pneumonia. The patient
must not only stay in the house but
in bed. All eases OF grippe, whether
mild or severe. need physicians over

8 flock of dozen hard at work. Occa-
sonally they rose to avoid some lum-
bering wagon or wabblng bicycle,
which some hardy rider was pushing
slowly up the street. Soon there was
a crowd Of 20 or more grouped on the
sidewalk watching the scene, with the
utmost interest, despite a cold wind
that swept up from the south. The old
horse belonging to the cabby regarded
the birds and the crowd quietly enough.
Once be lifted a fore foot, probably with
the view Of stamping out some of the
stiffness. An eager bird walked direct
ly under it in search for the delicate
particles lying in the crevices of the
granite stones. The horse held the foot
suspended until the feathered creature
had garnered all the grain and passed
on. Then he put the foot down softly
and closed his eyes and pretended to be
sleeping. \ grin Of enjoyment passed
over the faces of those who noted it
and the audible chuclle Of a burly
laborer on the curb echoed their COM
mon sen tinent.
