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 century
has had its attacks Beginning with
1881, this country has had five cpl
denies, the last in lsS9-90.
There is no occasion for panie-in-
huenza itself has very low percent
age of fatalities-not over one death
out of every four hundred eases, ac-
cording to the n G. Board of Health.
The chief danger lies in complications
arising, attacking, principally, pa.
tients in a rundown condition lose
who don't 90 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 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 l04, and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or lin
ing of the air passages-nose, throat
and bronchial tubes-there is usually
a hard cough, especially bad at night,
oftentimes 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 Dovers
Powder, etc, may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve
the aching. But there is no cure or
specific for influenza disease must
run its course, but Nature viii 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 pneu-
monia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes inflammation of the mid
die 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 days or more,
according to the severity of the at.
tack.

the air passages to throw off the
