EPIDEMIC Of
GRIP IN THIS CITY
Many Suffering From MaIady
That Was Prevalent Here
a Few Years Ago
DOCTORS ARE OVERWOREEl

Grip is establishing a foothold in this
city once more and indications point
to the recurrence Of an epidemic simi-
lar to the one which swept over this
city in the winter Of lsS9-lS9O.
The epidemic. of that winter is still
well remembered. Physicians were
overworked. Thousands were laid upon
sick beds. Some recovered within a
few days. others in weeks. Perhaps
the most dreaded effect of the disease
is that il often issues into other viru-
lent forms of illness.
A. physician who has made a care
full study of the disease said yester-
day he had recently seen a large NUM-
Der Of cases of grip.
The disease manifests itself in three
ways, he said. "One form attacks the
respiratory tract causing inhamed and
watery eyes, running nose. inhamed
bronchial tubes and congested lungs i'm
the more virulent cases. The nose is
clogged, the temperature high, the
throat often. sore and speaking is diff
ficult. The patient is very hoarse. An
other form attacks the stomach and
bowels, and the third attacks the nerv-
GUS system. The respiratory type is
the one 1 have seen recently. Although
these cases are not confined to any one
section, l should not be surprised to
see an epidemic of the grip in the city.
1t is fifteen years since the last epi-
demic in this city, and it may be that
another Of the cycles which sweep over
the country may have reached here
The disease spreads so rapidly that the
fraa
i'm the city at present, make the outlooh
serious. During the last epidemic
saw strong men crushed like ege
shells, dead a short time after they
were attacked as though struck by a
blow in the dark by a hidden hand"
The best treatment, the doctor said
is to remain at home at all costs. what.
ever duty or business may hinder. stay
ing in bed, taking complete rest, anc
eating good, wholesome food, which
viii tone up the system and prepare Il
for its fight against the insidioui
"Pfeiffer." This. ne said, win do more
than anything else TO cause the dis
ease to pass away in a short time
while the pursuance Of the ordinar,
tasks, taking persons about the street
and exposing them in the winte
weather. is attended by great peril.
The doctor said he could not over
state the Importance OF dropping
everything to stay at home. Moreover
he said, every person should be care
tul to avoid the presence Of others VIII
are suffering with these visible symp
toms of the disease. Drinking. over
work dissipation and everything whicl
tends to prevent the body from beinl
in most vigorous and healthy con
dition should be avoided, as the frs
victims. and those most liable TO IN
ness and death, come from the mum
bers OF the ones already run dow
from these causes. With proper care
he added. there is little danger OF III
most serious results.
