Grippe differs from common coio
mainly in degree. When. with the symp-
toms of common cold there is racklDg
pain in the back, and great prostration
OF strength, out of all proportion to the
cold, you may set it down as grippe.
subtle nervous poison is at work press
ing vitality. There may be grippe with
pneumonia, grippe with gastric or ao-
dominal complications, or catarrhal
grippe with unpleasant head symptoms,
which is the form it takes this winter.
There is usually fover in the head, and
flushed face, though one may shiver with
chill The first thing in family practice
should be to get warm and hot bath,
which just escapes parboiling one, Will
often rout sharp seizure. Hot water
up to the neck, kept hot for fifteen min
utes, hot bath sheet TO rub dry in, two
or three hot soapstones for the feet, back
and shoulders and nights rest are bet
ter than all the antipyrine and antife-
brine in city drug stores.
To rid the system OF the poison, a
choice of cathartics is necessary. IL
there is acid Indigestion. salines are best;
tablespoonful of Rochelle or Epson
salls in cup Of weak, hot coffee au-
swer1ng well, till the acid condition is re-
| lieved. II there is intestinal trouble, in
| firmmation and soreness, take one table
spooonful of castor oil and one OF olive
oil together, the taste masked by sour
orange Juice or Worcester sauce. Follow
this by drinking cups of hot water hourly
till the irritate poison is thoroughly
cleared out. This is the advice OF DIR.
Ferry, former surgeon general OF the
New York national guard Afterward he
directs a tablespoonful OF sweet oil and
glass OF hot water in the half hour before
each meal.
This medicine is healing internally.
For pain in the abdomen, apply hot fax
seed poultices soaked in sweet oil, Gov
cred with oiled silk Or oiled paper, to
keep the heat in. Heat, to the greatest
degree one can bear, is the cure of pain.
| Watch the food. Yeast bread In its best
form is nearly poison in grippe; freshly
baked bread is quite poison, from the in
| ternal ferment it creates. Whole wheat
meal biscuits, made with baking powder
OF soda, and thoroughly aud quickly
baked b9own,are safe and Strengthening.
| But many patients find hot cornbread,
thin and crisp, the pleaslntest OF all
bread in grippe. The large amount OF
potash in corn-oyer 60 per cents very
acceptable to the weakened digestion
With this give hot milk fo- those who
| like hot broth made by baking rour
of beef IN close stone jar in the oven,
and straining the juice, or chicken Jelly,
made By baking in the same way, which
gives all the strength and high flavor
possible. Every atom of fat is to be re-
moved from broths and meats. The old
fashioned calves foot jelly is refreshing,
and this jelly with orange juice whipped
to snow is one OF the daintiest things
for invalid fare. Orange and pineapple
| juice scraped from the pulp with spoon
are medicinal as well as grateful. But
whisky is the great inevitable aid in
| grippe-whisay with one fourth pure
| giycerine, and rock candy, a tablespoon
| full each hour, or whisky and milk, whis-
| ky and fresh egg, beaten with drop or
two of pure oil of cinnamon, an old tune
| specific for weakened heart. When this
exists the patient must be kept warm at
all hazards, never exposed TO any chill,
never allowed to rise suddenly, or climb
stairs, excep. in a slow, safe fashion,
bringing both feet on each step. 1t is
| stupid, but worth the bother. One gains
strength faster for the care, and there is
immense risk when the nerve centers
are nearly paralyzed by the grippe.
The attack usually runs from three to
five days, but the danger of relapse lasts
three weeks; in acute cases more. Re
, lapse is usually due TO cold and going
out too soon. Chest and shoulder pro-
tectors of four-fold tissue paper between
thin silk or yelling are safeguards, and
red pepper sprinkle in the stockings
keeps the feet warm. 4 clever doctor
warns patients to change their stockings
as wall as shoes when they come in from
the damp streets. Keep warm. Keep
dry. Eat light, nourishing food, and it
YOU have the blles, remember they fol-
low grippe as sure as clouds come with
sea wind,
1t is as well to make people understand
that danger exists during all the three
weens after the acute attack passes
