INFLUENZA.
Nature and Symptoms of the Grip and
Its Treatment.

uHu Sy DtOHS VI tIC anu
It's Treatment.
Influenza, or the grip, is an acute in
fectious 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. 1t attacks very large
proportion of the population, especially
at the beginning of an epidemic; then
in recurrent years it seizes upon those
who have previously escaped, and the
epidemic does not finally die out until
nearly every one has suffered its mis-
cries.
Medical writer's usually distinguish
three forms of Influenza, according as
the nervous, the digestive, or the catar-
rhal symptoms predominate; but all
constitute one and the same disease,
and one form may easily pass into an
.other in the course of the same attack.
In a typical case influenza begins
isuddenly with general i'll feeling,
theadache, pains in the muscles and in
sthe back, loss of appetite, and a sense
fof extreme weakness. There may be
"a hard chill, or a succession of slight
'chills, or general chilly sensation,
sand soon'a high fever declares itself.
The eyes are often congested and SEN
lsitive to light, the nose runs, there is
pain at the root of the nose and over
the eyes, and all the symptoms of a Sc
we're cold in the head are experienced.
The tongue is heavily coated, swallow
ling 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.
A peculiar symptom in influenza, one
that often serves to distinguish it
sharply from an ordinary cold, is
marked depression of spirits; the pa
tient is plunged in despair, and no
amount of argument or raillery has any
effect on his misery. In some severe
cases of the so-called nervous form of
the disease this melancholy Is so ex-
treme as to lead to attempts at 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 grip we must
first remember that we are dealing
with no ordinary cold, but with Sc
we're disease calling for as much care
as scarlet fever or pneumonia. The
patient must not only stay in the
house but in bed. All cases of grip,
whether mild or severe, need a physi-
clans versight.-Youth's Companion.

The Hog Louise.

Bulletin 100 Of the Department OF
Agriculture says: The hog louise Is
the only insect which causes much
trouble in raising hogs, and when II
once becomes established in a drove
1t Is not easily exterminated. Fortu-
nately the lice are so large that they
can be seen easily. and their presence
may therefore be known before they
become very abundant. They are IL
able to appear at any season of the
year, and they thrive on hogs OF any
age or condition. They are found In
and behind the ears, back Of the shoul-
ders, and In the creases on the lower
part Of the ham more frequently than
elsewhere; IL those places are free
from them there is little danger that
they exist on other parts Of the animal.
Coal oil is sure death to every louise
1t touches. but does not always kill the
eggs, and must be used with caution
to prevent its blistering the skin Of the
hog. When a large drove Is to be treat
ed, the work can be done very quickly
by using a spray pump having an at
tachment for mixing the oil and water.
and the pump should be set 80 that II
will use about five parts Of water to
one part Of oil. When such a mixture
is thrown over the hogs In a fine spray,
only little of the oil is used to cover
the whole animal, and II the spraying
Is done In the evening, nearly all OF
the oil will have evaporated by morn
ing and there will be no blistering
of the skin when the hogs are exposed
to the hot sun on the following day.
So little oil is used in the spraying
that few Of the eggs will be killed,
and the work should be repeated at the
end of week, and again at the end Of
the second week. II the work is thor
oughly done, three sprayings will be
sufficient. II a spray pump Is not
with a mixture containing two parts
OF lard oil to one of coal tar, repeat
ing twice at intervals Of a week. The
sleeping places should be thoroughly
cleaned, the bedding burned, and the
inside Of the buildings thoroughly wet
with coal oil.
Even with the most thorough treat
ment 1t requires time and patience to
clean a drove which has become badly
infested, but 1t must be done II the
hogs are to be kept in a thriving con-
dition. It is not difficult to destroy the
larger part Of the lice. b"t that is not
sufficient, for where there are even a
few eggs left in the ears or under the
jowls Of single animal the pest will
soon become as bad as ever. Lice
never infest clean hogs when they are
not brought from an infested drove.
and the hog raiser who has a clean
herd can not be too careful to keep II
SO. No stray hog should be allowed on
the premises. and any which are pur-
chased should be examined very care
fully before they are allowed to run
with the others. The oil mixture
should always be kept close at hand
where 1t can be used Immediately II
any indications Of lice are seen. 1t Is
much easier to kill few lice on few
animals than to clean thoroughly In
tested herd.

Electricity in Lighthouses.

1t Is generally conceded that the al I
light is unsatisfactory for use in light
houses, chiefly owing to its seeming
inability to penetrate fog. In fact. in
this respect. many arc lights are infe-
rior to the best oil lamps used in light
houses. The arc when examined by a
spectroscope is seen to be rich in the
blue and violet rays. which are easily
absorbed by fog or mist. Attempts
are now being made to use large mean
descent lamps in lighthouses, as the
large proportion Of red rays that they
emit are expected to pass through fog
better than those Of the arc light.

Salt was first made In the United
States In Ohio in 1898. and the Michi-

taining salt, 1t being gathered either
from mines or by evaporation. Sea
water Is seldom evaporated for salt.
