SAVE YOURSELF
AND OTHERS
Influenza Causing Heavy Toll of
Life is Spread by Secretions
From Nose and Mouth-Ad-
vice on It's Prevention.

The serious shortage of physicians
and trained nurses in Virginia, and
the inability of many families to Sc
cure medical and nursing care make
it imperative that the nature of In
huenza and the methods of prevention
as well as the home care of the sick
should be generally understood. The
State Board of Health, therefore, is
undertaking by every means possible
to furnish this important information.
Preventive Measures.
Avoid crowds, common drinking
cups and putting into the mouth fin
gers or other objects recently soiled
by the secretions of the mouth. In
sist that everybody cover the mouth
and nose when coughing or sneezing.
Wear gauze mask over the mouth
and nose when attending the sick, or
on necessary visits to them. Keep
houses and Offices freely ventilated,
and keep your body resistance at its
best by regular meals and abundant
rest
Symptoms of Influenza.
Sudden onset, usually in from 12
to As hours after exposure, charac-
terized by chill OF chilly sensation,
rise Of temperature, slight sore throat,
stufiiness about the head, aching, ant.
marked weakness.
Care of Sick.
Average cases require little drug
treatment. Quiet in bed, laxative,
liquid nourishment and an abundance
of water are essentials. Cases show
ing shortness of breath, painful cough
and pinllish sputum should be seen
by physician.
Precautions For Patient.
Use strong drugs only when pre-
scribed by a conscientious physician.
Aspirin and other pain relieving drugs
are valuable in the early stages, but
only to relieve pain. If used promis-
cuously OF too long they are harmful.
Deaths are likely to occur from the
unwise use of such drugs. Influenza
is characterized by marked poisoning
which weakens the heart muscle. 1t
is, therefore, of great importance that
the patient remain quietly in bed
long enough for the heart and other
vital organs to have recovered from
the effect of this poison. This means
from two to six days, according to the
severity of the attack. The impor-
tance of this precaution cannot be
over-em emphasized.

a Tribute to Mrs. Henry.

A noble and good woman was bur
led in the cemetery at Tazewell yes
tcrday.
Mrs. Henry was born, believe, in
Culpepper County, Virginia, when,
| do not exactly know, but know
enough to say that her birth was be-
fore the stirring times which trans
pired i'll that historic county. 1t was
at Brandy Station, in Culpepper that
the greatest battle Of modern times
between horscmen was fought, with
Fitzhugh Lee as commander of the
Confederate legion.
Mrs. Henry was an Ashby, first
cousin of General Turner Ashby, thai
high-souled gallant Ashby, who sleeps
i'll glory's grave. Sometime in the
sixties she married Robert R. Henry,
and in the early seventies they came
to Wise County, Virginia, to seek a
living; both she and her husband be-
ing left in poverty by the result of
the war. There they began their
struggle, strangers in strange land,
her husband being young lawyer,
she being charged with the duties of
a young wife and mother. They then
came to Tazewell in the year 1876,
where they continued to live until
after the death of her husband.
Strangers they were, both she and
her husband, but they rapidly gained
the respect Of their new neighbors,
holding it in the highest esteem to
the day of their death.
Mrs. Henry was a noble woman,
devoting herself to her husband and
children-the soul of hospitality;
brave and good.
Intensely religious, a Presbyterian
heart and soul and that soul needs
no dead, cold rocks to commemorate
her goodness and her memory. 1t is
by her heroic womanhood that she
will be remembered.
A FRIEND.
