British on the Albert sector. the Ger

however. Tor the British threw the
enemy back with heavy losses.

German attack, and the desperation
OF the fighting, the entente allied

the sacrifice OF lives which they have

The Last Epidemic in 1SSe-9O
Came From Russia by Way of
France and Was Given a French
Name, La Grippe. This Time
1t Comes by Way of Spain.
ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.

Spanish Influenza, which appeared In
Spain in May, has swept over the world
in numerous epidemies as far back as
history runs. Hippocrates refers to an
epidemic in 412 b. c., which is regarded
by many to have been influenza. Every
century has had its attacks. Beginning
with 1881, this country has had five cpl
denies, the last in tSS0-00.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza, as it is now called,
usually begins with a chill followed by
aching. feverishness and sometimes nausea
and dizziness and a general feeling Of
weakness and depression. The tempera-
ture is from 100 to lO4, and the fever
usually lasts from three to five days
The germs attack the mucous membrane
or lining Of the air passages nose, throat
and bronchial tubes-there is usually a
hard cough especially bad at night. Of
ten times a sore throat or tonsllitis. and
frequently all the appearances Of a Sc
we're head cold
THE TREATMENT.
Go TO bed at the hrst symptoms
take a purgative, eat plenty Of nourish-
ing food, remain perfectly quiet, and don't
worry. Nature herself Is the only cure"
for influenza and will throw of the at
tack If only you conserve your strength.
A little Quinine, Aspirin or Dover's Pow
der may be given by the physicians di-
rections to allay the aching Always call
Doctor since the chief danger Of grip
is In its weakening effect on the system,
which allows complications to develop
These are chiefly pneumonia and bron-
chitfs, sometimes Inflammation Of the
middle ear or heart affections. For these
reasons, It Is very important that the
patient remain IN bed until his strength
returns-stay in bed at least two days or
more after the fever has left you, or II
you are over so or not strong. stay in bed
four days or more, according to the Sc
verify Of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining OF the
air passages to throw or the grip germs,
to aid in loOsening the pblegm and keep
ing the air passages open, thus making
the breathing easier, Yick's YapoRub viii
be found effective. Hot, wet towels 4

Weakened Victims Fall Easy
Prey To Other Diseases

The getting-well stage OF grip, pneu-
mOnia or other illness is the most dan
gerous Of all because the body, weak
ened by the disease, is wide open to
attacks Of other lurking germs.
That is why all the organs OF the
body must be kept in their best work
ing order not only to drive out the
poison left by the disease, but that the
patient shall regain strength as soon
as possible to avoid further attacks re-
