A CHANGE OF PASTOR AT
THE FRIENDS CHURCH

After over two years of excellent
service as pastor of the Friends
church in the city, Rev. B. H. Albert
son retires from the charge. Rev.
Albertson's daughter, Mrs. Cora Ish-
am, has accepted the call of the
church for the current year and will
assume the pastoral charge at once.
Rev. Albertson has spent most of
his years in the ministry and from
his large experience and ability has
done much to build up and strengthen
the church. He has been granted a
minute" for Gospel service to attend
and labor in some other yearly meet
ings as well as in the Kansas Yearly
Meeting field.
Mrs. Isham has been an ordained
minister in the Friends church for
many years, engaging mostly in
evangelistic lines. She is already too
we'll known to need any introduction
to the people of Liberal and vicinity.
She is logical and forceful speaker
and will be recognized and welcomed
as an addition to the spiritual forces
of the city.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT

DR.. Eugene F. Pellette has handed
the Democrat the following article
which is taken from Impaired Health
Its Cause and Cure" by T. H. Lii
den, M. D.:
Influenza Ola Grippe)
Defnition.-A pandemic disease,
coming at irregular intervals, travel
ing very rapidly, and extending over
a vast territory in very short time.
In intra-pandemic years there are
epidemics as well as sporadic out
breaks. In fact some parts of the
country are experiencing this disease
all the time.
Etiology.-The difference between
influenza and the ordinary cold is the
tendency of the former to continue
long after the time for hard cold to
disappear. In influenza there is a
constitutional disturbance. Some pa
tients complain Of being very weak,
and in some cases the weakness con-
tinues to run on for weeks. The cat
arrh, which is always pronounced,
hangs on continuously. One day the
patient feels as though he were al
most well, and the next day he knows
that he is not well. He feels that
he is going backward rather than for
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1918-10-17

1t usually begins with fever, and
sometimes chill. In pronounced cases
the mucous membrane is involved
from the nose thru the entire bron-
chial tubes; the lungs often become
engorged. Pneumonia may develop
soon after the attack. 1t is, however,
brought on from improper treatment
and nursing. Where the bronchial
tubes and lungs are involved, deliri-
UNI is often present, along with much
prostration. According to some of
the leading authorities, the disease
may develop in a manner similar to
that of typhoid fever. Pleurisy is
also a disease that is liable to spring
up during the life of influenza. There
are nervous forms of this disease,
characterized by headache, much
pain in the joints, also marked pros
tration. There are quite a good many
forms of influenza. One of these is
Intestinal type that is marked by
much fever, and the complications of
which are given as pericarditis, endo-
carditis, septicemia, pertonitis, etc.
Treatment.-As soon as the disease
starts the patient should stop eating,
and take hot bath, preceded by a
copious enema of two quarts of water
and a tablespoonful of salt. After
the bowels have been moved, the bath
should be taken, and continued until
all pain and discomfort are gone. The
bathing should be kept up daily. In
very severe cases, where there are
great nervousness, headache and pain
in the body, all the discomfort should
be removed by hot bath, even if the
bath has to be taken every three
hours. The water should be as warm
as the patient can stand comfortably.
After the patient has been in the bath
for five minuts, the water should be
heated to as high temperature as he
can stand. Just how long the bath
should be continued depends upon
how quickly the patient gets relief. |
When rlaxation and comfort come, |
the bath should be stopped. The hot |
water should be allowed to run out |
of the tub, and cold water turned in |
at the head, and the patient is to have
the bath cooled down as much as will |
be comfortable. But if the bath be-
comes too chilly, the patient should
leave it and 20 to bed at once. If !
there is a tendnecy to cold feet and !
hands, hot applications should be
kept to the feet. Positively no food
or drugs are to be given in such cases.
If this plan is carried out, there will
be no complications, there will be no
spasm, and the disease-even the
very worst forms of twill termin-
ate in one week. Such symptoms as
delirium, spasms, peritonitis, ETC., can
be developed only in those patients
who are fed and medicated.

FIRST NUMBER OF LIBERAL
LYCEUM COURSE NOVEMBER 2

The Liberal Lyceum Course will be
in charge of the high school again this
year. A strong course has been pur-
chased which consists of two musical
numbers, two entertainments, and
two lectures.
The musical numbers are the Co.
lumbians, a ladies' quartet, and the
Means-Anderson Trio, two excellent
numbers in which comedy, pathos and
patriotism are cleverly mixed.
. The entertainments are by John B.
Ratio and Guila Adams. AS a stage
artist, Ratio is unusually strong.
Miss Adams, we have just been in
formed, has taken up war work in
France and satisfactory substitute
will be arranged for in her place.
For lecturers this year we are es-
pecially fortunate. Ralph Parlette
is one of the most noted speakers on
the platform today. He ranks with
Brooks Fletcher, who gave us such a
splendid lecture here two years ago.
Judge Alden of Boston was here sew
eral years ago and was received with
more enthusiasm than any lecturer
we had had for years.
The course promised to be one of
the strongest we have ever had, but
the price is the same. Prepare to get
your tickets when the solicitors call.

warn.
Psychologists declare that epidem-
ic influenza is caused by Pfeiffer's
bacillus. At the time of an epidemic
of influenza there are the usual num-
Der of colds or catarrhal fevers. My
individual experience has led me to
believe that the different forms of
catarrhal fevers, colds, influenza, etc.,
are one and the same, only differing
in degree, and that the difference in
degree depends entirely upon the con-
dition of the patient. Those who are
auto-toxemic, who have much decom-
position in the large intestine, with
the accompanying toxin absorption,
and who have bad eating habits and
are negligent in the care of the body
will always develop the severest form.
The very young and the very old are
not inclined to get over the disease as
rapidly as those in middle life. The
sensaulist is always victim to a Sc
we're form. All those who are ener-
waited have difficulty in throwing off
the disease. OF course, this disease,
the same as all other diseases, has
epidemic years; which means that at
such times the type of the disease is
more severe than in endmic years.
Symptoms.-The incubation period
of Influenza is from one to four days
from three to four days.

It is really Of vital Importance. It
is certain that the attempt TO frame
the new bill, beginning as soon as
possible. will make 1t the controlling
issue in the November elections.
Whether this control is exercised
above or below the surface. every one
concerned in framing and passing the
bill must be acutely conscious OF this
fact-which there is no apparent
means OF preventing or changing as
fact Hence Congress will be forced
to consider a campaign issue from the
time it begins framing the bill until it
passes. Certainly this ought not to be
the case. Probably that Is the opinion
OF nine-tenths majority in both
houses. But il it is-the case. It will
be so only because or the result in
the mind OF the public, and Of the re-
sponse to it in Congress. Perhaps
this could not be presented bIuntIy to
Mr.. McAdoo. or the President in so
many words. but it seems to be the
reality OF the situation they have un-

this consideration OF mere con-
