ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.

Spanish Influenza which appeared in
Spain in May. has swept over the world
in numerous epldemics as far back as
history runs. Hippocrates refers to an
epidemic in 4t2 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 cpl
denies, the last in 1ss9-9o.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, OF influenza, as it is now called,
usually begins with a chill followed by
aching. feverishness and sometimes nausea
and dizziness, and a general feeling Of
weakness and depression. The tempera-
ture is from 100 to 1Of. 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 a
hard cough, especially bad at night. Of
ten times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and
frequently all the appearances Of Sc
we're head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go TO bed at the first symptoms
take a purgatiye eat plenty Of nourish-
ing food, remain perfectly quiet, and don't
worry. Nature herself is the only "cure"
for influenza and will throw of the at
tack II only you conserve your strength.
A little Quinine, Aspirin or Dover's Pow
der may be given by the physicians di-
rections TO allay the aching. Always call
a doctor, since the chief danger Of grip
is in its weakening effect on the system,
which allows complications to develop.
These are chiefly pneumonia and bron-
chitis, 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
