There's No Such Ailment
As 'Spring Fever" Holds
Physician; Explains Why
If That Tired ? Lazy Feeling Persists . There's Trouble
Sotneuherer and It Shtmld He hound and Cor
rected , Dr. H. L. Kendrick Says
Tlii' follow who think* In- has'
"spring fever" is unly kidding
himself -there's uu such ailment.
That languorous feeling which ac
companies the lli":"t warm >^iinh
days b either Mother Nature let
ting down a bit after tin- zestrul
winter weather, or is a son of a '
"hangover" from some ailment.'
possibly retarded as trivial. and
very likely forgotten many week*
before.
The foregoing. in substance, is
what Dr. It. I.. K?-ndrick, of thin
city, has to sa> on the subject ol
spring fever. "Itegarded as a
disease in itself. there is no such
thing an 'spring fever . * lie de
clared In the course 01 an inter
view yesterday. "The person who
has a persistent feeling ?-f being
under par should have his trouble
located, and treated.
"The usual procedure >n .
"spring fever,' no called, is for the
victim to take a big dose of pur
gative. and quit with that. H*?
feels better for a day or ho. prob
ably. and then the condition re
turns. unless It is merely the re
sult of warmer weather. A per
son beep iuen adjusted to the
change in the weather In a few
days. 1 1' he still feels below paa,
he should be examined for the (
cause."
Foci of Infection
A weakened physical condition '
resulting from some focus of in
fectlon often persists well into the
spring, according to Dr. Kcndrick.
"In children, this frequently re
sults from a diseased condition of |
the ear, a latent sinus Infection of
the nasal passages which lias fol-i
lowed disease of the respiratory I
tract, and bad tonsils and ade
no:dM," he declared. "It often hap
pens that while tonsils or adenoids
apparently are causing no trouble.
In reality they are a serious source
of In Taction* add consequent poor
health.
* "Chronic coughs should be at
tended to. Often th"y are neg
lected until they result in chronic
bronchitis, or tuberculosis. Often, I
too, there are minor ailments of ?
the heart which arc allowed to j
run on, undetected, until that or- 1
gan is damaged seriously. Anyj
and all of these conditions might
lead the Individual to think he'
has 'spring fever'."
The last few days of warmer I
weather have brought a decided ;
abatement in the Influenza epi
demic which has been raging in ,
Elizabeth City for the last month
or so. Dr. Kendrlek declared, add
ing that, while the epidemic was
1 not, as severe as that In 1918. it*
i was decidedly the worst since
then.
"Ha" In KerioilM I line** I
"The seriousness of Influenza
should not be underestimated," he:
warned. "Many persons have
? been Inclined to regard It lightly
this year, because there have been
comparatively few cases of pneu
monia. and not many deaths. Nev
er'holesq. Its after effects are most
serious. For Instance, there prob
ably will be a high percentage of
I tuberculosis following It. I can
no* urge too strongly the neces
sity for a person having Influenza
to take the best possible care ??f
himself until he is completely
cured.'
Dr. K< ndrlck estimated that
there had been at least 400 to 600'
cases of "llu" lu Elisabeth City I*,
the past month, attributing the'
large number In part to the excep
tionally bad weather, which has
kept people Indoors much of the
, tinio, and in part, to the general
carelessness of the population in
subjecting themselves to lnfoc-|
tlon, through the fact that theyt
regarded It as a trivial complaint/
"To avoid Influenza, keep out
of hot, crowded rooms." he ad-,
vised. "Spend as much time as i
you can In the open air, and ob- '
?erve the general rules of health
as to diet, etc. And stay a^ay
from people who have the dls
1 ease . ' '

the Judge returned.
Fur more thun half an hou.(|
the Judge was COnferrloK with I he

Some thought thai the Judge was

the Judge waa making ills position

doubted the Jurisdiction of I'le ,

After some 35 minutes of con
