EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining Of
the air passages to throw off the grippe
germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing 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 liberates the in
gradients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. 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
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.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining Of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign of cold. For head cold, melt a
little VapORub in spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vapo.
Rub in benzoin steam kettle. If this
is not available, use an ordinary tea.
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa
ter, put in half teaspoon of VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
Note-Vick's vapoRub Is the dis.
covery Of North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salve
form, MenthOl and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cu-
bebs, ETC., so that when the salve is APP
piled to the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form of va
pors.
VapORub is comparatively new irf
New York State and New England and
few Western states where it is just
now being introduced, but in other sec.
tons 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. VapoRub can be had In three
sizes at all druggists. tits particular
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since it Is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
Spanish influenza, which appeared In
Spain in May, has all the appearances
of grip, or la grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hippo.
rates refers to an epidemic in AZ
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 epidem'
les, the last in 1SS9-90.
There is no occasion for panic-~infu-
enza itself has very low percentage
of fatalities-not over one death out
of every 400 cases, according to the
N. G. board of health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising, attack.
ing principally patients in a rundown
condition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up toe
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as it is now called
usually begins with chill, followed by
aching, feverishneSs, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and general
feeling of weakness and depression
The temperature is from 100 to 104
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 hard cough,
especially bad at night; oftentimes a
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances Of 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
purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, etc., may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
cific for influenZa-the disease must
run its course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack if only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily
resistance that there is danger Of pneu-
monia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes Inflammation of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these rea-
sons 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.

It's Acid Stomach
That Makes Millions

Life Il dark-not worth much to the
man or woman with an acid-stomach.
Acid-stomach kills Hope, Ambition,
Energy, Courage. 1t saps the strength Of

and soon all the hogs are wormy.
The reason that hogs on the
range often begin to die about
this time of year is that the
acorns are usually rotten and do
not provide the necessary nour-
/ ishment. The lice and the
worms collect their board bills
and the hogs have little to- pay
or nothing to pay with so they
go out of business.
In view of these facts there
are two sensible things to do:
give the hog regular doses of
medicine once a month and feed
them when the mass gives out.
AS it takes four days to give
a hog enough terpentine and
EPSON salts to do him any good,
have arranged with Bell &
Buchanan to fill prescription
that will do the work at one
dose, and with Borden to make
an instrument with which the
medicine can be given in thirty
seconds to the most.stubborn ami
NAL. The pills are six for a
quarter and the instruments
fifty cents apiece.
So far | have only discussed
range conditions. Infection of
our lots is a far more seri-
Gus matter. The soil of
practically every old feed lot in
Chickasaw is thoroughly sowed
with eggs. When the farmers
throw corn down in the mud and
filth they are compelling their
hogs to infect themselves with
worms. Dead hogs and lost
profits is all that farmers of
this kind deserve. We do not al
ways lose the most money when
the animal dies, for it often
costs considerably more to raise
and fatten it than it is worth.
To prevent losses of this kind
ssgFe ssssssals "a shapge lots as often as
possible and provide feeding
floors of wood or cement, that
can be kept clean, and we should
use self-feeders. The self-feed-
er for hogs is one of the great
est money and labor saving de-
vices that a farmer has at his
command. A hog will pay 80
cents bushel more for corn out
of a self feeder than he will for
corn off the ground.
| Next week will tell how and
why.

Worms in Hogs

As said last week, in order
for us to rid our hogs of worms
it is necessary for US 10 have q
clear understanding. Of theil
cause, and we must also know
their habits Of life.
The hos worm does not come
from The aeotn, ii comes from
the hogs that are already infect
ed. No doubt hogs have had
worms, ever since they recogniz-
ed themselves as hogs. 1t has
been said that a few feas are
good for a dog as it keeps him
busy and makes him forget he is
a dog; but we all know there
are some dogs that have no fleas,
we also know that our neigh
bors' dogs usually have fieas,
and if our dogs that have no
fieas play with our Leighbors'
dogs they soon begin to scratch.
When we turn our healthy hogs
out on the range practically the
same thing happens.
The worm, while it is still in
the animal, lays eggs that pass
out and fall upon the ground.
AS they are protected by a ctp
sule, it usually takes the rain,
the cold and the sunshine about
a year to kill them. If they
happen to fall under an acorn
tree. where the healthy hogs
dine with the infested ones, the
eggs are. eaten along with acorns
