 Geneva, 6 Sitzerland Thursday, July 1.-The military critic of the Tribune de Geneva says he recently met a high German officer, who 3e- clsred that although the German newspapers had been prohibited from mentioning American military mat te:s, except the taking of prisoners, the American invasion of Europe and the great aid being rendered by the Americans to the entente allies is causing much anxiety at German im- perial headquarters.
 People cannot understand, the Ger man officer said, why the successful German submarine warfare announced by the Reichstag is unable to prevent million Americans landing in France. [

WAYS CALL A OCTOR

grippe germs. to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open. thus making the breathing cas-
ier, Vick's VapoRub will be found ef-
fective. 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 COW
cred with two thicknesses of hot fan
mel cloths. Leave the clothing loose
around the neck. as the heat Of the
body liberates the ingredients in the
form of vapors. These vapors. in
hailed with each breath, carry the
medication directly to the parts af-
fected. At the same time, VapoRub
is absorbed through and stimulates
the skin, attracting the blood to the
surface. and thus aids in relieving the
congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this is
a germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly through cough
ing, sneezing or splitting So avoid
persons having colds-which means
avoiding crowds-common drinking
cups. roller towels, etc. Keep I'D your
bodily strength by plenty of exercise
in the open air, and good food. Above
all, keep free from 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 the very
first sign of a cold. For a head cold,
melt little VapoRub in a spoon and
inhale the vapors, or better still, use
VapoRub in a benZoin steam kettle. If
this is not available, use an ordinary
tea-kettle. Fill half full of boiling
water. put in half a teaspoon of vapo-
Rub from time to time-keep the ket-
tie just slowly boiling and inhaIe the
steam arising.
NOTE. Vick's vapoRub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist.
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 ingre-
dents are liberated in the form of va
pors.

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC.

Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in May, has all the appearance
Of grip OF la grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous epidemrcs
as far back as history runs Hippoc
rates refers to an epidemic in az B.
c., which is regarded by many to have
been influenza. Every cen ury mas
had its attacks. Beginning with 1881,
this country has had five epidenics,
the last in 1sS9-S0.
There is no occasion for panic-in-
fuenza itself has a very low percen-
tage Of fatalities-not over one death
out Of every four hundred cases, ac-
cording to the N. c. Board of Health.
The chief danger lies in complications
arising, attacking principally patients
in a rundown condition-those who
don't go to bed soon enough, or those
who get up too early.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grippe, 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 1O4. and the fever usually lasts from
three to i've days. The germs attack
the mucous membrane or lining of the
air passages-nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes-there is usually a hard
cough, especially bad at night, often
times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and
frequently all the appearances Of a
severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms,
not only for your own sake but TO
avoid spreading the disease to others
take a purgative. eat plenty of nour-
ishing food, remain perfectly quiet and
don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Do
ver's Powder, etc, may be admins
tered by the physicians directions to
relieve the aching. But there is no
cure or specific for infiuenza-the dis
ease must run its course. but Nature
will throw of the attack II only you
keep up your strength. The chief dan
ger lies in the complications which
may arise. Influenza so weakens the
bodily resistance that there is danger
of pneumonia or bronchitis develop
ing. and sometimes Inflammation of
the middle ear. or heart affections.
For these reasons, IL is very important
that the patient remain In bed until
bis strength returns-stay In bed at
least two days or more after the fever
has left you. or II you are over 80 or
not strong stay In bed four days or
more, according to the severity of the
attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.

the air passages to throw Of the
