is exposed, freezing and thawing

the ground is covered with snow and
you have steady cold. This soft
weather is a sure enough grip
breeder. Lots of things are called

characteristic symptoms are fever,
headache, legache, backache, muscu-
lar pains, soreness of the muscles
with catarrhal symptoms of the air
passages, usually followed by bron-
chial troubles, by pneumonia. La
Grippe" is the French word. The
