these complicated cases die Whether
this so-called Spanish influenza is
Identical with the epidemics Of influen-
"a of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of Influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain:s Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics Of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient. spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire CIV
tlized world. Three years later there
was another fare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
" over the United States.
ALTHOUGH the present epidemic IS
called Spanish Influenza there is no
reason to believe that it originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tentiOn to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
/ the eastern front in the summer and
fall Of 1917"
How can "spanis., Influenza" be rec
ognized?
There Is as vet no certain way In
which q single case of Spanish inf1u-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand, recognition is easy where
there is group Of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks Of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics Of Influenza
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely in Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, in the case of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are In influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly. or
so extensively as does influenza.
in most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes. ears. head or back. and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy. some vomit. Most Of the pa
tients, complain Of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever In which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104 In
most cases the pulse remains relative
" slow. 81.
"In appearance one Is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. Ills

may be Slightly .bloodshot, or con-
gested,' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
Of a cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.

the symptoms as already described.

 If you have any, even one, of the symptoms of kidney diseases, act now. Dropsy or Bright's disease may set in and make neglect dangerous. Read this Norwich testimony:
 Mrs. Sarah Hewitt R. r. D. No. 1, says: My back had been troubling me a great deal saw Doan's Kid l. ney Pills advertised for such troubles and got some at Sevin & Sons Drug Store. Two boxes gave me great re- lief. I gladly recommend Doan's Kid ney Pills publicly, as I know they de- serve all the praise I can give them.
