Spanish Influenza !

because OF Cne great seriousness OF
Spanish Infuen ID throughout the
United States, mary requests have
k one to the State Board of Heath fol
literature on tbs disease o.. SUCCESS
lions as 70 control end treatment.
Not much is Known as to this form
of influenza. but it is believed that
there is but little difference in it from
la grippe, which appeared in pandem-
ic form in 1889. All evidence points
to human contact as being the means
Of spread, and from the local symp-
toms It has been assumed that tn
nose and throat have been the points
of egress of the virus and the points
of incubation. There is nothing to
show that the lower animals have any
part in carrying this disease.
PREVENTION.
The most dangerous form of hui
man contact in epidemic influenza is,
in all probability, that with coughers
and sneezers. Coughing and sneezing
except behind the handkerchief, is as
great an unsanitary offense as pro-
miscuous splitting, and should be equ-
ay condemned. Influenza and pneu-
monia are infectious diseases which
are caused by certasn germs. The
germs are carried in the matter which
is spit, sneezed or coughed up by sick
persons or sometimes by persons who,
while carrying the disease germs in
their mouths or threats, show no
signs of illness. These germs, even if
they go into the nose or throat, are
usually unable to break thru the mu-
Gus membrane and attack a person
who is in good heath. If person is
not in good health, resistance is low
cred and the germs gain entrance
through some weak spot. For the
present the diagnosis must be clinical
rather than archaeological.
MA L MEM.
Treatment is symptomatic. On ac-
count of weakness and prostration,
rest in bed should be prolonged A
viod exposure to cold and guard again
st lung complications at all times.
Cases should not be discharged too
soon, or alliwed to go out too early.
There are no reconized drugs as spec
ifics, hence treatment is necessarily
symptomatic. Owing to this disease
causing great prostration, stimulants
are beneficial. Aspirin gives great re-
lief for headache and pains in thu
limbs and back. Of course a nourish-
ing diet is indicated. However, one is
apt to have a fairly good appetite in
this disease. To guard against pneu-
monia is one of the most important
things in the whole line of treatment.
This can be done by having the pat
lent kept in a we'll ventilated room
with uniform temperature, and avoid
sudden changes. Only nurses and
physicians should be allowed in the
sick room. One never knows at the
beginning which case will turn out to
be mild one and which serious one.
In all cases a physician should be call
ed in, and no patent medicines of gen
eral prescriptions, which are advertis-
ed, should be used.

their products before such repre-
sentative gathering of people from
every section of the country and the
list of counties which already have
made arrangements for exhibits is
formidable. Other counties are ex-
pected to reserve space within the
next few weeks and the Fair manage
ment is much pleased with the re-
Spouse alreody given. Among the
counties who have reserved space to
date are the following:
Alachua, Bradford, Broward, Bre-
ward, Levy, st. Johns, Marion, St. Lu-
Gle, Palm Beach, Gadsden, Putnam,
Clay, Dade, Jackson Escambia, Polk;
Okeechobee, DeSota, Citrus, Lafey-

and Monroe. Among the committees
which are preparing exhibits are
Moore Haven and Fellsmore. Other
committees are planning to make such
community displays, and these pro-
mise to form an important feature of
the Fair.
INDIVIDUAL EXHIBITS
A collection of striking individual
agricultural exhibits is being gathered
in the various counties. These will be
displayed Independently of the county
exhibits and farmers are urged to
bestir themselves to gather the best
of their products for such displays.
A wonderful display of live stock
is in the process of arrangement.
Florida's strides in this industry dur
ing the last few years will be best adj
vertised by this exhibit and the dis
play will sttract attention from every
section of the country. The poultry
shows which will be hold in connection
with the Fair, also is of more than
statewide interest.

nection with fair, bringing delegates
