LA GRIPPE

For a long while it was the custom
to call every severe and especially
annoying cold, when accompanied bv
fever the grippe. In 1898, Pfeiffer
found special germ in the secretions
OF the nose and throat which he re-
garded as the true cause of the infec-
ton. Later the germ was found al
so III the secretions of many persons
who were suffering with bronchitis
and chronic coughs. 1t was ascer-
tanned that there were several other
organisms which would produce an
attack with symptoms similar to
those of grippe In wide spread cpl
denies occurring after an interval of
years and which extend over the
world the cause appears to be the
germ discovered by Pfeiffer.
The disease is highly commune
able and is spread by the spray meth
cd OF fine droplets of secretion which
are thrown off during close converse
ton and in coughing and sneezing or
by articles freshlp soiled with the
Secretions from the respiratory tract
OF those who are infected. It is
known that persons may carry the
germs in their nose, throat and bron.
chial tubes for years and that they
may communicate the disease in an
active form to susceptible individuals
One attack instead of comforting an
immunity renders the individual more
susceptible to future attacks.
AS in acute colds and infectious
troubles of the respiratory passages,
those who contract the grippe should
at the appearance Of the first symp-
toms be isolated preferably in their
rooms with plenty of fresh air. They
should remain there as long as there
are abnormal discharges from the
nose and thoat During the course
of the illness, these secretions should
be received upon paper napkins and
burned, the eating utensils should be
placed in boiling water after each
use, At the termination of the dis
ease tn ebed and body clothing
should be boiled and the room after
a good cleansing with soap and hot
water given a thorough airing.
The very young as we'll as the aged
should be protected in every possible
manner from exposure to cases of
grippe as in these individuals abe dis
ease is often followed by severe and
quite frequently fatal attacks of pneu-
monia. The control of the grippe is
largely matter of education. The
attention of the public must be
brought to the danger of the common
drinking cup, the roller towel, kissing.
droplet or spray method of infection

sneezing and coughing, the use of
