Physicians are calling attention to the
fact that influenza or grip has come to
stay. In the larger cities there has been
a marked increase in diseases affecting
the organs of respiration, which increase
is attributed to the prevalence of infiu-
enza. Persons who are recovering from
grip or influenza are in a weak condition
and peculiarly liable to pulmonary dis
ease.

for those whose strength and vitality
have been exhausted by an attack of grip.

Reflections of a Sick Man.

When the doctor comes he al.
ways laughs at you. When you
get hungry you are ashamed to
acknowledge it, and. If your nurse
is very particular. you are liable to
suffer from hunger. When the
medicine makes you sick and you
complain to the doctor, he says:
That's what 1 expected; that's
what / intended it to do" People
come around the house you never
saw before; the milkman, the ice
man and the washwoman. The
neighbors never worry about your
illness as much as you thought
they would. When there is a
knock on the door you think it is
an inquiring friend, and try to look
as pale and wan as possible. and
then discover that it is little girl
who wants to borrow butter. What
a strange lot of dogs play in your
yard during the dayl And occa-
sionally there is a COW, and you
wonder that the police are not
more active. Along about the sec
ond day you begin to wonder that
some of the neighbors don't go out
and kill quail for you; something
delicate to tempt your appetite =

The Kings Illness.

Although there have been many
reports for some time in regard to
the serious illness of King Edward
of England, they have been SO per-
sistently denied. that the general
public has not known whether to
believe them or not, SO that it may
be said, there has been no such
shock to the whole world since the
assassination of President Mckin-
ley. as the telegraph brings to-day,
in the announcement of the post
ponement of the coronation cere-
monies of the monarch of the coun-
try the nearest to the heart of this
of all the other nations of the earth.
1t is now settled definitely that
Edward is in very serious condi-
ton. How long he has been threat
ened with the dangerous disease
that has oyertaken him. or vl1sat
connection there is between it and
the ailments rumor has long ascrib-
ed to him, is not told, but it is GER
tain that his life has been in dan
ger, and probably is yet The COR
onation has to be postponed on its
eve, and this of itself causes COM
motion and alarm. The King has
had to submit to dangerous oper-
alton and it is conceded that at the
best, it will be long time before
he sufficiently RECEIVERS to undergo
the fatigue of the coronation cere-
monies. Meantime markets are af-
fected and the whole world is dis
turbed, for as is always the case
when the ruler of any great nation
is threatened with disease and
death, there is everywhere restless
ness and uneasiness. Just how
stable any earthly government is,
is always matter of doubt, and
just what thing may cause shock,
which shall shake more than one
of them to their foundations, is
never known in advance.
Meantime, all people will watch
with anxiety for the determination
of the Kings disease and universal
sympathy will be extended to him
and the English nation. The hope
will be general for his certain and
speedy recovery. = Parkersburg

Spring Fever.

Spring fever is another name for bill
business. II is more serious than most
people think. A torpid liver and mac
tive bowels mean a poisoned system.
If neglected, serious illness may follow
such symptoms. DeWitt's Little Early

ing the yer, opening the bowels and
cleansing the system of impurities.
