swept over the world in numerous epi
demics as far back as history runs.
Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in
412 B. C. which is regarded by many
to nave oeeu nuiuenza. .every cen
tury ha3 had its attack. Beginning:
with 1S31, this country has had five
epidemics, the last in 18S9-90.
There is no occasion for a panic, In
fluenza itself has a low percentage of
fatalities not over one death of ev

danger lies in complicatfons, attack

soon enough, and those who get up too
early,
THE SYMPTOMS
Orippe, or influenza, as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill fol
lowed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
a general feeling of weakness and de
pression. The temperature is from
100 to 104 and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days. The germs
attack the mucous membranes or lin
ing of the air passages nose, throat
and bronchial tubes there is usually
a hard cough, especially bad at night,
oftentimes a sore throat or tonsilitis.
and frequently all the appearances
of a severe head oold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptom, not
only for your own sake, but to avoid
preadlng the disease to others take
a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powder, etc., may be administered by
the physician's directions to relieve
the aching. But there is no cure or
pecific for influenza the disease
mist run its course, but nature will
throw off the attack if only you keep
your strength. The chief danger
aes in the complications which may
arise -influenza so weakens the bod-
Ixi resistance that there Is danger of
"JWKnonia or bronchitis developing,
and sometimes inflammation of the
miaaiQ ear, or heart affections'. For
these reasons It is very important that
the patient remain in bed until his
strength returns stay in bed at least

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
grippe germs, to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing eas
ier, VIck's Vapo-Run will be found
effective. Hot, wet towels should be
applied over the throat and back be
tween the shoulder blades to open the
pores. Then VapoRub should be rub
bed over the parts until the skin is
red, spread on thickly and covered
cloths. Leave the clothlner loose
around the neck, as the heat of the
body liberates ingredients in the form
of vapors. . These vapors, inhaled with
each breath, carry the medication di
rectly to the parts infected. At the
same time, VapoRub Is absorbed
thru and stimulates the skin, attract
ing the blood to the Surface and thus
aids in relieving 'the congestion with
in. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence teems to prove that this is
a germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly through cough
ing, sneezing or spitting. So avoid
persons having colds which means
avoid crowds common drinking cups,
roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily
strength by plenty of exercise in the
open air, and good food. Above all,
keep free from colds, as colds irri
tate the lining of the air passages
and render them much better breed
ing places for the germs. ,
Use Vick's VapoRub Salve at the
very first sign of a cold, melt a little
VapoRub in a Spoon and inhale the
vapors, or better still, use VapoRub
in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is
not available use the ordinary tea-kettle.
Fill half full of boiling water,
put in a half teaspoon of VapoRub
from time to time keep the kettle
steam arising.
NOTE VIcks VapoRub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist
who found how to combine. In a salve
form, Menthol and Camphor, with
such volatile oils as Eucalyptus,
Thyme, Cubebs, etc., so that when the
salve is applied . to the body heat,
these Ingredients are liberated In the
form of vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new In
New York state and New England and
a few western states where it is just
now being introduced, but in other
sections of the country it Is the stand
ard home remedy in over six million
homes for all forms of cold troubles
over six minion pars were soia last
year, it is particularly recommended:
for children5s croup or colds, since it
is externally applied and therefore
can be used as freely as desired with
out the slighest harmful effects. Vapo
Rub can be had in three sizes at all
druggists. Adv.
