SPANISH INFLUENzA---W WHAT It IS
AND HOW It SHOULD Be TREATED
Nothing New = Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1SS9-9O, Only Then It Came
From Russia by Way of France and
This Time by Way of Spain
EXTERNAL ApPLIcArIoNs

In order TO stimulate the lining Of
the air passages to throw on the grippe
germs, TO aid in lOoSenlng the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
Paking the breathing easier, Viek's
VapoRub win 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 thickly and cover with tive
thickneSses Of hot flannel cloths. I;eave
the clothing loose around the neck. as
the heat Of the body liberates 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 aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this is
a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact. chiefly through
coughing, Sneezlng or splitting. SO
avoid persons having coldS--whch
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking cups roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty Of
exercise In the open mir, and good food.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining Of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign OF n cold. For head cold, melt q
little VapORub In spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still. use VnpO-
Rub in n henZoin steam kettle. II this
Is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. FIJI half-full of boiling wa
ter, put in half teaspoon OF VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
Note--Vick's vapoRub Is the dis.
covery of North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, In salve
form, Mcnthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus. Thyme, Gu
bebs, etc. so that when the salve Is ap-
piled 20 the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated In the form Of va
pors.
VapoRub is comparatively new In
New York State and New England and
n few Western states where II Is Just
now being introduced, but In other sec
tiOns OF the country It Is the standard
home remedy in more than million
homes for all forms Of cold troubles.
Over six million jars were sold last
year. VapoRub can be Ind In three
sizes at all druggists. II Is particular
ly recommended for childrens Group
and colds, since It is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
Ieffects.

NO OCCASION. FOR PANIC

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
Spanish influenza, which appeared In
Spain In May. has all the appearances
of grip, or Ia grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous epidemies
as far back as history runs. Hippoc-
rates refers TO an epidemic in 412
b. c., which is regarded by many to
have been influenza. Every century
hrs had its attacks. Beginning with
1881 this country has had five epidem-
les, the last in 1SS9-90
There is no occasion for panic-intlu-
enza itself has very low percentage
of fatalitieS-nOt over one death out
of every 400 cases. according to the
n. c. board of health, The chief danger
lies in complications arising, attack
ing principally patients in a rundown
cOndition-thoSe who don't 90 to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as II Is now called,
usually begins with chill, followed by
aching, feverishness and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and n general
feeling of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 10 lOa,

to five days The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining of the air
passages. nose. throat and bronchial
tubes; there is usually hard cough
especially bad at night; oftentimes n
sore throat or tOns'llitiS, 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--tnke
IL purgative eat plenty of nourishinp
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
very. Quinine, aspirin or Dovers
Powders, etc, may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there Is no cure or spe
cific for infuenZa-the disease must
run its course. Nature herself vii

lies in the complications which ma!
arise. Influenza so veakens the bodil!
