ity of the attack.
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 thick
" ana covered with two thicknesses
of hot flannel cloths. Leave the
clothing loose around the neck as the
heat Of the body iiberates 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

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, keep free
from colds, as colds irritate 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
VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle
If this is not available, use an ordi-
nary tea-kett.e. Fill half full OF
boiling water, put in half teaspoon
of VapoRub from time to time-keer
the kettle just slowly boiling and in
hale the steam arising.
NOTE. Vick's VapoRub is the
discovery of a North Carolina drug
! gist, who found how to combine, ir
salve form. Menthol and Camphoi
with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus
Thyme, Cubebs, etc, so that wher
the salve is applied to the body heat
these ingredients are liberated in the
/ form Of yanorS
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England
and few Western states where it is
just now being introduced, but in the
other sections of the country it i.

troubles. Over six million jars were
sold last year. 1t is particularly

colds, since it is externally applied

Go to Bed and Stay Quiet
Take a Laxative - Eat
Plenty Of Nourishing Food
Keep up Your Strength
Nature Is The "Cure."
ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION Foh PANIC

Spanish influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May, has all the appear
aiice OF grip or la grippe, which has
swept over the world in numerous
epidemics as far back as history
runs. Hippocrates refers to an epi-
demic in Az B. G. which is regarded
by many to have been influenza
Every century has had its attacks.
Beginning with 1881, this country has
had five epidemics, the last in 1S89-9O
There is no occasion for panic
influenza itself has very low per-
centage of fatalities-not over one
death out Of every four hundred
cases. according to the n. c. Board
Of Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising, attacking
principally, patients in 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 a chill
followed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
q general feeling Of weakness and
depression. The temperature Is from
100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts
from three to Ave days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or lin
ing of the air passages-nose, throat
and bronchial tubes-there is usually
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
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 specific for in
huenza-the disease must run its
course, but Nature 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 re-
sistance 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 strong. stay in bed four
