HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE

Evidence seems to prove that TINS
is a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly thru cough
ing. 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 exer-
else in the open air, and good food
Above all, keep free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining of the air pas
sages and render them much better
breeding places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign of a cold. For head cold,
melt a little VapoRub in spoon and
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 inhale the
steam arising.

VapoRub is comparatively new in

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 cpl
denies as far back as history runs.
Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in
4l2 B. c. which is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every CEN
tury-has had it's attacks. Beginning
with 1881, this country has had five
epidemics, the last in 1SS990.
There is no occasion for panic-in
fluenza itself has very low percent
age 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 run down 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 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 five days. The germs
attack the mucuous membrane, or lin
ing of the air passag es-nose. throat
and bronchial tubes-there is usually
nara cough, especially pa0 at night,
oftentimes 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 nourishing
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 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 bod
lily resistance that there is danger of
pneumonia or bronchitis developing.
and sometimes Inflammation 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
