FAIRsloST HAS GRIPPE

AIRMoNT seems to be suffering IN epidemic
of old fashioned grippe; probably flu in a
light form. Physicians are oyerworked taking care
of the number of cases that have developed. The
patients are thoroughly miserable, but are seldom
dangerously ILL., Families are taken with it in
one, two three order, thus proving the contagious
ness Of the disease.
Especial care should be taken by those afflicted
TO avoid passing the illness on TO others. What
may be case involving but few days confne-
ment for one person, may prove fatally serious
for another. All grippe cases should be isolated,
and it would be better not TO receive callers at
all in the home where one or more cases are
present.
While many welcomed the unusually warm and
sunshiny weather extending over Christmas, find
ing it delightful to stroll in the open without
heavy wraps and the usual trapptngs of Christmas
weather, yet those days seemed yeritable trouble
breeders for the public health and there has been
tremendous numbr OF bad colds following, with
grippe complications in dozens of instances. Al
most invariably this is true when unseasonably
warm weather prevails in winter time. 1t is hard
to find the reason, unless the people carelessly
expose themselves or, what is equally dangerous,
fail to regulate the temperature in their homes,
and become overheated as consequence.
