NO INSANITY AFTER INFLUENZA
Signs of Mental Depression, Should
Not Cause Alarm.

According to DIR. D. Percy Hick-
ling, alienist of the District of Co
lumbia, signs Of mental depression
and even insanity after an attack OF
influenza are more or less common
and should not be alarming. There
have been many such cases reported,
all Of which have recovered, most Of
them having been cared for at home.
ssThe condition is well recognized
by physicians" said DR.. Hiekling,
|Ssand has been noticed frequently
since the influenza epidemic. We call
it toxic insanity. I should say that
Iabout 2 per cent Of the flu cases
are thus affected. The depression
occurs about a week or ten days at
ter the patient apparently has fully
recovered and when the illness is al
Emost forgotten
"For this reason it many times IS
mot connected with the Influenza, and
| is taken by the family to be ar acute
attack of insanity. It is acute IN
sanity for the time being, but only
requires quiet and proper attention
to correct. It may be necessary to
call in some one to restrain the pa
tient in such cases, but a physician
should be sent for in any case.

He goes into action at headlong

beats up his enemies with athletlcally
joyous enthusiasm, yields gracefully
to the tender passion, and never re
lakes until he has definitely secured
the maiden of his choice. There IS
plenty Of local color in evidence the

savings and thrift stamps are as good
as gold whether your certificate or
thrift card is completely filled or not.
The idea that untitled certificates or
cards must be cashed in before Jan.
/ is absolutely baseless." ... =a..
This notice was issued by Mr..
Franklin to counteract tendency to
cash in war savings and thrift stamps
because their owners had the idea that
only completely filled certificates Oh
cards would be valuable after the be-
ginning of 1919.
"Hold on to your war savings GER

savings stamp OR a filed card" ad-
vises Mr.. Franklin. s'There is ,ab.
