cases, according to the n. c. Board
Of Health The chief danger lies in
complications arising. attacking prin-

tion-those who don't go to bed soon

HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this
is a germ disease. spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
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.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
Above all avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining Of the air passages
and render them much better breed
ing places for the germs
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign Of a cold. For q head cold.
melt a little VapoRub in a spoon and
inhale the vapors, or better still, use
NapoRub IN a benzoin steam kettle
II this is not available, use an ordf-l
mark tea-kettle. FIJI ha1f-full Of boil
ing water, put in half a teaspoon of
NapoRub from time to time-keep the
kettle just slowly boiling and inhaIe
the steam arising.
NOTE-Vick's VapoRub is the dis

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 fngre-
dents are liberated in the form of
Fapors- NapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. While compar-
atively new in certain parts of the
North, It is the standard home remedy
in the South and West for all forms
OF cold troubles-over six million lars

ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.

ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.
Spanish Influenza. which appeared
IN Spain in May. has swept over the
world in numerous epidemics as far
back as history runs. Hippocrates re-
fers to an epidemic in 412 B. C.. which
IS regarded by many to have been in
1luenza- Every century has had its
attacks. Beginning with 1881, this
country has had five epidemics, the
last in 1SS9-9O
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza as It is now
called. usually begins with a chill fol-
lowed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a
general feeling Of weakness and de-
preston The temperature Is from
100 TO 104, and the fever usually lasts
from three 10 five days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or lin
ing OF the air passag es-nose, throat
a hard cough, especially bad at night,
often times a sore throat or tonsilitis.
and frequently all the appearances OF
severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go 10 bed at the first SYMPTOMS
take a purgative, eat plenty OF nour-
ishing food. remain perfectly quiet
and don't worry Nature herself is
the only cure" for influenza and will
luEDN Oh Lne aLLacE II only you con-
serve your strength. A little Quinine,
Aspirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physicians directions TO
allay the aching. Always call a doc
tor, since the chief danger Of grip is
in its weakening effect on the sys-
tenn, which allows complications to de-
velop. These are chiefly pneumonia
and bronchitis, sometimes inflamma-
ton OF the middle ear, or heart affec-
tons For these reasons. II is very
important that the patient remains 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
Gays or more according to the sever
ity Of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining Of
the air passages to throw off the grip
germs, to aid in loosening the phIegm I
