THE GRIP.

Grip is contagious and If the public
were fully aware Of that fact many I'M
necessary infections would be avoided.
The grip germ. a spirillum. or baccillus,
locates itself principally in the mucous
membranes Of the respiratory tract,
and as 1t is an air-borne disease. one
acquires 1t by breathing in the germs.
Ample evidence of Its contagiousness
has been found by ITS passage through
a family. a city or section OF the
country. travelling along the ordinary
lines of travel. 1t is in this way that
it was brought to this country some
fifteen years ago, coming in steamers
from Europe.
"A great mistake is made by the
man who returns to his work too soon
after an attack Of grip. :.
ITO avoid catching the grip, keep
out of the way Of people who have It,
keep warm and keep your feet dry. II
voiiY hahy hae the Grin don't kiee II
II your stsnographer has the grip. send
her home until she gets well. If your
friend has the grip, send him flowers
and regrets, but don't call on him until
he is well. Don't get tired. and above
all. keep warm and dry. When you
do get the grip take a dose Of physic,
go TO bed and send for a DOCTOR.
