ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR. NO OCCASION FOR PANIC. Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has all the appear ance of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic -in 412 B.

Hot, wet towels should be ap plied 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 thickly and cov ered with two thicknesses of hot flan nel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhal ed with each breath, carry the medi cation directly to the parts affected. At the same time, VapoRub is ab sorbed through and stimulates the A Tribute From His Step-Mother.

To the Editor of The Robesonian: We wish to thank through The Robesonian, our friends for the kind words of sympathy they have ex pressed to us on hearing of the death of .Marvin in the trenches in France We learned on Friday that he was killed the 12th of September, but how, where or whether instantly or not is unknown, and that greatly intensi fies our sorrow, logsther with the knowledge that we will not be able to get his body. Marvin was the kindest boy I ever saw. l never knew niu to get angry with any one. As his step-mother I must say he was as sweet to me as if I were his own mother. He never spoke an unkind word to me in his life; and was always thoughtful and considerate of my wishes-always trying to put me to the least trouble possible in regard to his welfare. That alone always made me. want tc please him, and I loved him as my own. He opened his heart to his little half-sis ters and they were very fond of "Buddie," crying for him when he would leave. Even now I can almost see his sad face as he kissed us good-bye I feel ing at the time that I would never see hi maeam. Although our sorrow will not be heated, your kind sympathy is so much appreciated, and we sincerely hope that none of you will have such a sor row. His Step-Mother, MRS. J. T. ODUM.

C. epidemics, the last in 1889-90 There is no occasion for panic in fluenza itself has a very low percent age of fatalities not over one death out of every four hundred cases, ac cording to the N. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally, patients in a run down condition those who don't go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early. THE SYMPTOMS. Grippe, 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 mucuous membrane, or lining 01 tne air passages nose, throat and bronchial tubes there is usually a hard couerh. esDeciallv bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances ol 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 nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powder, etc., may be administered hv the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for influenza the disease must run its course. Nature herself will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. The chief dan ger lies in the complications which may arise.

Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally oy human contact, chiefly through couching, sneezing or spitting. So avoid persons having cold which means avoiding 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 irritate the lining of the air( passages and render them cuch bet ter breeding places for the germs. Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little VapoRub in a sp3n and inhale the vapors, or better still, use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an or dinary 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 in hale the steam arising. NOTE Vick's VapoRub is the dis covery of a North Carlina druggist who found how to combine, in 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 in gredients 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 jnst now being introduced, but in the other sections of the country it is the standard home remedy in more than a million homes for all forms of cold troubles. Over six million jars were sold last year. It is particularly recommended for children's croup or colds, since it is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as desired without the slightest harm ful effects. VapoRub can be had in liia ,tr-u 1 cu uamiiu! enects. vapoKUb can ius strength returns-stay in bed at three sizes at all druggists. A FAMILY MEDICINE In Her Mother's Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Draught Relief From Head ache. Malaria, Chills, Etc Ringgold, Ga. Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: "I am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact, it was one of our family medicines. Also in my mother's home, when I was a child. When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble.
