THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.
Opinions of New York Physicians as to
 Cause and Cure.

 
 There is probably no family in the city of which some member is nut laid up, or at least attacked by the grip
 While the grip is the same cd enemy, it seems to be very different this season from other years. On the streets and street cars and in the churches one meets with people vio- lently sneezing, with running eyes, coughing and with a woe-begone cx- pression on their faces. Like all epl~ denies of this kind, few are exempt It attacks the rich and poor alike and physicians are being worked night and day
 To obtain reliable information on this most important subject repor CT i recently called upon some well known physicians to learn from them what h. could do in relation to it.
 "All agreed on the opinion that che malady was rapidly increasing and that in most cases it was of an ex. tremely dangerous nature"
 One medical man, who is said to have treated no less than one hundred grip patients in a single week, said to the reporter"
 Serious results will always follow an attack of the grip if it is net prep erly treated. Often it runs into pncu- mOnia and always it leaves unplea ant or dangerous complications. It seems to be different this year from ever be- fore. My experience has shown that O clogged up and when the secrettons fail to have the right exit
 Have you ever seen a sewer or a drain clOgged. Well, that is precisely the condition of the body that invites grip. The fluids have no mems Of escape, and so they hack up and flJod everything, just as a Glogged sewer floods the street. Is this not naturaI2 It is certainly true.'
 When a person is attacked by gri0," the doctor continued "he should not try to fight off the sensations of cold, aching limbs and extreme weartness under the impression that he has s1mp- ly an ordinary cold. but should stay in doors, avoid excess of eating and drinking and above all take a timely remedy"
 The reporter being anxious to dis cover what the public considered a timely remedy and was taking most. visited the leading drug stores and in terviewed the prOprietors. The gen. eral opinion was well expressed by the manager of a prominent Fifth Az enue pharmacy, who said: Grip? Yes. 1t is raging. But it seems to come in a different way from any former years People come into olir store all cIoeged up. Not necessarily in the head, but all over the body. They have bead aches, it is true, but they have back aches too and pains all through the system. You know the body is like city. All the waste matter must b9 carried away. When the sewers 60 not work there is trouble People are beginning to understand that they must keep the sewers. especially the kidneys, in good condition, or they cannot hope to escape or regain bcaIth. What is the remedy? Well. we have a store full of so-called remedies. but we have only one which cur GUS to neIs find produces the effects desired. We do not recommend anything, but l can tell you what the people use. It is something reliable, something which is certain to unclog the system, some thing which is recommended by pby- sicians and is very popular with~the peOpIe-Warner' Safe Cure. We look upon it as the safest and the best rem edy that anyone can take when suffer- ing from the many, many serious a1I- ments so common at this season Of the 1 year"
 This information is certainly of the l highest importance in view of the in creasing number of people who are suffering from colds, chills, g ip and | the ills of the season. Very often the serious results which follow these at | tacks might have been avoided if the | proper remedy had been taken i'll time. Health is a serious matter and "spcc- tally at this season of the year, when so many things are fighting bitterly | against it.-New York Exchange.
