The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1943-12-31


Let us take a hypothetical case:
have just got over slight cold and
the antibodies in my blood has got
the best of the particular germ in
my case, but go to crowded, poorly
ventilated hall where there is consid-
cradle coughing and sneezing and
pick up another group of the same
specie but of different type. What
will happen?
While l should be immune to the
same kind of flue l just recovered
from is no guarantee that another
kind won't effect me as there may
possibly be as big variety of flues
as there are breeds of dogs and an i'm
munity against one may not assure a
person protection against the others
as different flue epidemics have
shown.
The Symptoms
In couple of days I have sore
throath, ringing in the ears and dull
headache, breathing through the nose
becomes difficult, l am running a lit
tie temperature and my pulse is up
to so, so I decide to stay in bed for
a day or two. Plenty of fresh air but
no drafts, a laxative may be in order
and a hot bath providing you are
rubbed down and well dried and
warm bed at hand otherwise a bath
may do you more harm than good.
AS there is a cavity in the upper
part of the nose where millions of
bacteria of all kinds lodge and multi
ply, | use gargle and nose wash of
a small u teaspoon full of common
table salt with a pinch of baking
soda in a cup of warm water which
generally clears your nose and helps
your throat and to try out the new
technique I spray my nose and throat
with a one per cent solution of DUE
powder in one cup of warm
water, or Propolene Glycol if obtain
able
A couple of days in bed and my
pulse has dropped to 80, little dizzy
in the head but on my feet again
busy washing out handkerchiefs
which soon ends in my lip and nose
breaking out in cold-sores, a sure sign
hat the antibodies in the blood have
and is just cleaning up
he workshop of the body.
influenza, Nearing An Epidemic
A census report, as ending of De-
,ember 10, 1913, show an increase in
he death-rate in 80 major cities of |
40 above normal, mainly attribut- |
bile to the influenza wave The high
st death rate from the flue was in
he week ending October 26, 1918
when it rose to $50 per cent above
formal.
The fluctuating rate of mortality is
artly due to the type of flue as well
s to the individuals resistance. An
resistance depends on two
actors: his general good health and
Mystical condition as well as his re-
erve stock in antibodies and his
lood ability to produce more. There

odies have the biggest force at this
