Acid'stomach kills Hope, Ambition.

You know what acid mouth does to

the teeth to decay. Just imagine, then,

They're nervous. and irritable; lack power

SPANISH INf[UENzA---W IT IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD Be TREATED
Nothing New Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 18S9.9O, Only Then Il Came
From Russia by Way Of France and
This Time by Way Of Spain
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. yick's
Vap0Rub 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 thickly and cover with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat of the body liberates the i'm
gradients In the form of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath.
Gerry 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
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, 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 cold. For head cold, melt a
little VapoRub In spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use VapO-
Rub In benzoin steam kettle. II this
| is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa
ter, put In half a 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, Menthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme. Gu
bebs, etc, so that when the salve Is ap.
piled to 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
few Western states where 1t Is Just
now being introduced, but In other sec
tions Of the country 1t Is the standard
home remedy in more than a million
homes for all forms of cold troubles.
0vnr civ rnillfon iara wora cold Ia OF
year. VapoRub can be had In three
sizes at all druggists. 1t Is particular
lily recommended for children's Group
and colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

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 epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hippoc-
rates refers to an epidemic in ALP
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 epidem-
les, the last In 1S89-90.
There Is no occasion for panic-influ-
enza itself has very low percentage
of fatalities-not over one death out
of every 400 cases, according to the
N. G. board of health. The chief danger
lies In complications arising, attack
ing principally patients In a rundown
condition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.

THE SYMPTOMS

Grip. or influenza, as 1t is now called,
usually begins with chill, followed by
aching, feverishness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and general
feeling of weakness and depression.
The temperature Is from 100 to 104,
and the fever usually lasts from three
to five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining Of the air
passages, nose, thyoat and bronchial
tubes; there is usually hard cough,
especially bad at night; oftentimes a
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances of severe head
cold.
McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1918-11-01
The TREATMENT

Go to bed at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake. but to avoid
spreading the disease to others-take
Il purgative, eat plenty Of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, etc, may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there Is no cure or spe-
cific for infiuenza-the- disease must
run its course. Nature herself will
throw off the attack IL only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies In the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily
resistance that there Is danger of pneu-
monia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes inflammation Of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these rea-
sons 1t 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 attack.
