The temperature is from 100 to 104 and the fever usually s from thr to five days. The germs attack the mucuous membrane, or lining of the air pa 1ges—nose, throat and bronchial tubes there is usually a hard cc ially bad t night, often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT. Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake but - to avoid spreading the disease to others —take a purgative, 'eat .plenty of ' nou food, remain perfectly quiet don’t worry. Quinihe, aspirin or Dover's Powder, ctc., may be administered by the physician’s lirections to r ve the aching, But there is no cure or specific for in- fluenza—the discase must run its course, but nature will throw off the attack if only you keep wup your trength.

SRNAL 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 cusier Vick’s VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thick- ly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingred- ients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the | parts affected. At the same time, | VapoRub is absorbed through and | stimulates the skin, attracting the | blood to the surface, and thus aids | in relieving the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE. Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease. spread | principally by human contact, chiefly | through coughing, sneezing or spit- | ting. So avoid persons having colds | -which means avoiding crowds— common drinking cups, roller towe s, | etc. Keep up bodily strength | by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. Above all, keep free | from colds, as colds ate the lin- ing of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Cick’'s VapoRub at the very | first sign of a cold. For a head 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 an ordinary tea kettle. Fill half full of boiling water, put in | half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep ' the kettle just ‘slowly boiling and ‘inhale the steam arising. your Vick’s VapoRub is the discovery of ‘u North Carolina druggistwho found | how to combine, in salve form, M(‘n-i { thol and Camphor with such volatile | oils as Bucalytus, Thyme Cubebs, | ete, so that when the salve is ap- | plied to the body heat, these ingredi- cnts are liberated in the form of vapors, VapoRub is comparatively new in New York State and Néw Bngland and a few \Western states' where it s Jjust now heing introduced, but in the other sections of the country it is the standurd home remedy a mil- in over |lion homes for all forms of cold I troubles.
