7 A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. II
IL spares no class OF nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant, tho aristocrat
and the pauper, the masses and the
classes are alike subject to la grippe.
None are exempt-all are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? Grip is well named.
9'he original French term, la grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Ameri-
can to read "grip." without intending
to do 50 a new word has been coined
that exactly describes the case. AS il
some hideous giant with awful GRIP had
clutched us in its fatal clasp. Men,
women, children, whole towns and cities
are caught IN the hEneful grip Of ter.
rible monster.
