DOGS AND HENS ARE WISER
Physician Arraigns the Modern Prac-
tice of Treating Influenza
Patients.

New Orleans, La.-"When dog
gets sick, what's the first thing he
does? He sticks his nose between his
hind legs. What does he do it for!
SO that he can breathe the warm air,
When a chicken gets sick, the first
thing it does is to tuck its head under
it's wing-sO that it can breathe the
warm air. Physicians who advocate
the cold-air treatment for the flu
have less sense than either dogs or
chickens"
Such is the opinion rendered by DR..
Cooper Holtzeaw of Chattanooga,
formerly president of the Association
of Surgeons of the Southern Railway.
He said it before the hundreds of sur
geons who attended the twenty-third
annual meeting of the association,
held in this city.
He was arraigning the modern prac-
tice of treating influenza patients in
the open air. He insisted that the
best treatment for influenza is to keep
the patient under such conditions OF
care and freedom from exposure as
were wont to obtain when our moth
ers of the old school used to treat the
measles.
