SECRETS OF
HEALTH

VoU are more liable to have in
4 fluenza now that the winter
is again upon Us than you were
during the summer months. That
is because the germs that cause
influenza are more active in a
low than in e high temperature.
This is the key to the early
management of influenza. 1t gen.
orally begins with a "hot spot"
in the nose or roof of the mouth
or throat. That is where the
germ. breatbed in from the cold
air. has LOGGED and has begun
business. The thing to do is to
destroy the invading enemy on
the threshold, the threshold be-
ing the hot spot in question. You
can best do this by radically
changing the conditions under
which the germs live. thrive and
d. their devilment. Simply go to
your room and heat it to the
highest possible point, but keep
it ventilated. The ventilation Is
of highest Importance. Plenty Of
fresh oxygen is essential. but it
should be heated before you
breathe it. Take a hot bath. Go
to bed. Stay there in the hot,
ventilated room. kept at q high
temperature, continuously for "a
or Sc hours. In the majority of
cases this management will abort
the attack, particularly il You do
not take Alcohol. but do take
teaspoonful Of bicarbonate of soda
baking sodal in a half glass OF
cool water a couple Of times DUR
the day.
To continue at work after the
fir.t symptoms are well known
and appear is bad for the patient
and may be dangerous to others.
Workers obviously Ill should at
once be sent or taken home.
Where influenza is prevalent no
person should in any way be
penalized for staying away from
work for even a slight attack OF In"
fluenza or any form Of feverish
cold. On the contrary he should
be expected and required to do so.
At the first feeling Of illness or
rise of temperature the patient
should do as I have already di-
rected but while doing it should
seek medical treatment. The doc
tor, il called in at once, has the
opportunity of giving advice or
treatment which may forestall the
more dangerous complications.
Relapses and complications are
much less likely to occur If the
patient goes to bed at once and
remains there for two or three
days after all fever has gone.
Much harm may be done by get
ting about too early and many evil
consequences are due to chill and
over-exertion during convalescence.
Authorities do not always fully
realize the Importance of protect
ing those in attendance on the
patient. One Of the most tragic
features in the last epidemic was
the high mortality among hos
pital staffs, some Of which might
have been prevented by observing
the ordinary precautions appli.
cable to all acute infectious dis
eases.
In rural and small urban dis
tricts where the children have
few opportunities of coming in
contact with each other outside
the school this measure NAV be
useful. 1t has not much value
in densely populated areas. When
day-schoois are closed Sunday
schools SHOULD be closed az well.
