Spanish Influenza which appeared In
Spain in May has all the appearance
of grip or la grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous epidemics
as far back a. history runs. Hippo
crates refers to an apidemic 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 epidemics. the last
in 1880.
Grip. or influenza - It il now called.
usually begins with a chill followed by
aching, feverishness and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and general
feeling Of weakness and depression.
The Temperature 10 from 100 to 1o4.
and the fever usually lasts from three
to hve days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane. or lining OF the air
passages-nose, throat and bronchial
tubes-there is usually q hard cough,
especially bad at night, often times q
sore throat or tonsilitis. 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 nourishins
food. remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine. aspirin or Dovers
Powder, etc, may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there Is no cure or speci-
ic for infiuenza-the disease must run
its course, but nature herself will
throw of the attack II only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza 50 weakens the bodily
resistance that there 10 danger OF
pneumonia or bronchitis developing
and sometimes Inflammation Of the
middle ear, or heart affections. For
these reasons, 1t is very important that
