Valuable Hints for Curbing Spanish
Influenza If No Doctor Is Available
An emerecnev Spanish influenza prescription for an adult while waiting for
the visit of a doctor, is given by a prominent Washington physician, as follows:
Calomel .'. 2 grains
Citrate of caffeine 12 grains
Hexamethyelaminc -4 grains
Aspirin - 24 grains
Quinine Muriate ". 12 grains
The forgoing quantity is sufficient for twelve capsules. One should be
given every two or three hours.
A few simple comfort measures can be given by the home nurse. If pos
sible the patient should be in a bright, well-ventilated room, with wide-opened
windows, but well out of a draft. A sponge bath, followed by an alcohol rub,
is soothing to the sufferer. An ice pack at the head has been found to be val
uable in relieving a patient's headache.
F'.very effort should be made to secure the servics of a qualified physician.

For the first time since our entrance in the war, Nevada appears
j to be on the verge of failure to live up to her traditional reputation
; as a leader of all the states in every war activity. Our o,uota in the
Fourth Liberty Loan is only half subscribed and less than a week
remains in which to gather in more than $2,000,000.
The reumors of peace that arc in the air and the hopes of an early
termination of the conflict which lias called to the colors nearly
(i,(M0 of our young men, is doubtless responsible for the relaxation
and apathy reflected in this condition, which, if not corrected, will
mean Nevada's first and only great failure.
Do you not know that Germany has successfully floated eight
great loans that same Germany which stigmatized America as a na
tion lacking in stamina and the capacity for self-sacrifice necessary in
a people capable of conducting a great war? Can vou not conceive
j that Germany's offers of peace, already practically repudiated by the
j government of .this country and her allies, was accurately timed to
i produce the effect which is noticeable in this loan? Is it not plain to

The Fourth Liberty Loan spells all of these things. This is na

Carson. Oct. 15, 1918.
"My Dear Mr. and Mrs. Van Devort
The enthusiastic meeting held -last
evening, together with the one held last
December, fills me with regret at the
thought of leaving the west. Carson
City surely sets an example of patriot
ism which many larger cities might
well be proud of.
"The west holds many charms which
will never be forgotten, but to me the
acquaintances made and friendships
formed are the greatest of all. and
which I hope may some day be renewed
should good fortune permit my return
to America after this great struggle is
over.
"In bidding vou all adieu, nlease ac
cept my hearty appreciation for the
many courtesies shown and your united
efforts in the great cause. With the
best of all good wishes, Very sincere
ly yours,
