Illness Due to, Change
of Drinking Water

When people go away from home.
or for some other reason change
their place of residence. it often hap
pens that they have a spell of diges-
tive trouble. Not uncommonly 1t Is
due to water.
We are accustomed to think of
drinking water as if it were always
the same thing-a definite compound
which the chemist would call H2O,
or two parts of hydrogen and one of
oxygen. But it isn't.
Much other stuff is mixed with It..
For the water we drink was derived
originally from rocks, out of which 1t
has dissolved various mineral salts.
Among the latter may possibly be
ma agnesium sulphate, which is Epson
salts, or sodium sulphate, which in
the commercial form is known as
Glauber's salts. AS everybody knows,
these are medicinal.
OF course, water that contains ap-
preciable quantities of such ingredi-
ents would not be potable. But other
salts, If one be unaccustomed to
them, may disagree with the diges-
tive apparatus. We are in the Habit
of drinking the brand of water OBJ
tainable in cur neighborhood; it might
make a stranger sick
So, on the other hand, we may visit
another locality that has water of a
composition to which we are unused,
and it may disagree with us-for a
while, that is.
What Westerners call "alkali wa
ter" is simply water so loaded with
Objectionable mineral constituents
that nobody can drink it or get used
to it. 1t may not even be utilizable
for cooking. Plants, actually, may be
poisoned, instead of refreshed, by it.

A Laxative-Eat Plenty of

Your Strength = Nature
Is The Only Cure.
ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC


Spanish influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May, has all the appear
ance of grip or la grippe, which has
swept over the world in numerous
epidemics as far back as history
runs. Hippocrates refers to an cpl
demic 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 epidemics, the last in
1SS9-90.
There is no occasion for panic
Influenza itself has a very low per-
centage of fatalities-not over one
death out of every four hundred
cases, according to the N. c. Board
of Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising, attacking prin-
cipally, patients in a run down con-
soon enough, or those who get up
too early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grippe, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill
followed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
general feeling of weakness and
depression. The temperature is
from 1O0y to 104, and the fever
usually lasts from three to five days.
The germs attack the mucuous men,
brane, or lining of the air passages
nose, throat and bronchial tubes
there is usually a hard cough,
especially bad at night. often times
sore throat or tonsilitis, and fire.
quently all the appearances of a
severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
90 tn had at the first sVn Mt Oms
not only for your own sake but to
avoid spreading the disease to
others-take a purgative, eat plenty
of nourshing food, remain perfectly
quiet and don't worry. Quinine,
aspirin or Dover's Powder. etc, may
be administered by the physicians
directions to relieve the aching.
But there is no cure or specific for
influnza-the disease must run it's
course. Nature will throw off the
attack If only you keep up your
strength. The chief danger lies
in the mplications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the
bodily resistance that there is dan
ger of pneumonia or bronchitis de-
veloping, and sometimes inflamma-
tion 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 If you are over so or
not strong, stay in bed four days
or more, according to the severity of
the attack.

SPANISH INFLUENZA --WHAT|T IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD Be TREATED
Nothing New-Siriply The Old Grip, or la Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1889-9o, Only Then 1t Came
From Russia by Way of France and This
Time by Way of Spain
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining
of the air passages to throw off tho
grippe germs, to aid IN loosening tho
phlegm and keeping the air pass
ages open, thus making the breath.
ing easier, Vick's VapoRub will be
found effective. Hot. wet towels
should be applied over the throat,
chest and back between the shoulder
blades to open the pores. Then
VapoRub should be rubbed in over
the parts until the skin is red
spread on thickly and cover with
Two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths.
Leave the clothing loose around the
neck as the heat of the body Hber-
ates the ingredients in the from or
Vapors. These 'vapors, inhaled with
each breath, carry the medication
directly to the parts affected. AT
the same time, VapoRub is absorbed
thru and stimulates the skin. at
tracing the blood to the surface,
and thus aids in relieving the con-
gestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this
is germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly thru
coughing, 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. Above all, keep
from colds, as colds irritate the lin
ing of the air passages and render
them much better breeding places
for the germs
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign of cold For a head
cold, melt a little VapoRub in a
spoon and inhale the vapors. or
better still, use VapoRub in a ben
zoin steam kettle. If this is not
available, use an ordinary tea-kettle,
Fill half-full of boiling water, put
in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from
time to time-keep the kettle tust
slowly boiling and inhaIe the steam
arising.
NOTE. Vick's VapoRub is the
discovery of North Carolina drug
gist. who found how to combine, in
salve form, Menthol and Camphor
with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus.
Thyme, Cubebs, etc, so that when
the salve is applied to the body
heat, these ingredients are liberated
in the form of vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England
and a few Western States where 1t
is just now being introduced, but
in other sections of the country it
is the standard home remedy in
more than a million homes for all
forms of cold troubles. over six
million jars were sold last year. It
is particularly recommended for
children's Group or colds. since it is
externally applied and therefore can
be used as freely as desired without
the slightest harmful effects. Vapo-
Rub can be had in three sizes at
all druggists.

He wore a service pin upon his

them proudly how glad he was that
his son could be in the fight even
if he himself was too old to go. Then

spoke up.

Neal kissed me, hugging me
tight:
