ing the congestion within.
NO CAUSE FOR PANIC.
There Is no occasion for panic-in-
huenza or grip has very low percent
age of fatalities-not over one death
out Of every four hundred cases &C
cording to the n. C. board Of health.
The chief danger lies in complications
arising, attacking principally, patients
in a run down condition-those who
don't go to bed soon enough, or those
who get up too early.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems 10 prove that TINS
is a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly thru cough
ing, sneezing or splitting. so avoid
persons having colds, which means
avoiding crowds-common drinking
cups. roller towels, etc. Keep up your
bodily strength by plenty OF exercise
in the open air, and good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
Above all, avoid colds. as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at this very first
sign OF cold. For head cold, melt
little VapoRub in a spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vapo-
Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this
is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling water.
put in hall teaspoon Of VapoRub
From time to time-keep the kettle Just
slowly boiling and inhale the steam
arising.

THE SYMPTOMS.

Grip. or influenza as 1t is now caiieu'
usually begins with chill followed oy
aching. feyerishness and sometimes
nausea and dizziness. and a general
feeling of weakness and depression.
The Temperature is from 100 to 104,
and the fever usually lasts from three
TO five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane, or lining of the air
ma ssages-nose throat and bronchial
tubes-there is usually a hard cough,
especially bad at night, often times
sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently
all the appearances of severe head
cold.
THE aEATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take a purgative, eat plenty OF nour-
isning food, remain perfectly quiet and
.i6n,t worry. Nature herself is the only
..cure'' for influenza and will throw off
the attack If only you conserve your
strength. A little Quinine, Aspirin, or
Doyer's Powders may be given by the
physicians directions to allay the
aching. Always call doctor, since
the chief danger Of grip is in its weak
ening effect on the system, which al
lows complications to develop. These
are chiefly pneumonia, and bronchitis,

ear, or heart affections. For these rea-
