IN History, Cause, Prevention and Treat ment is Outlined By a Specialist. Analysis of the Influenza having puzzled the people to a great degree. Dr. S. L. Burton, state medical direc tor Modern Woodmen of America, of Albuaueraue. N. M..' read before the New Mexico Medical Society session last year the following arflolaon this with it, such as the strepticoci, pneu mococcl and Influenza bacilli Con tributing cause, a low temperature. Summer beat prevents Influenza. The disease spreads over the country along the line of travel, first attack ing the population of the cities, and later the Inhabitants of the rural dis tricts. It is my observation that the bacilli disappear before or by the time the patient recovers, and Is not active after the sickness has continued four or five days. This would establish the infection period to the early part of the attack. Also, In order to con tract Influenza the victim must be in closa proximity to the infected. Immunity None of tho cases I treated during the past epidemic suf fered a return of tho disease, and I believe that persons at the age of 40 or over, who for some reason were immune in the 1919 epidemic, had previously been the victims of Influ enza. Diagnosis. The diagnosis is easy during an epidemic but difficult at In tervals between epidemics. During the latter period many mistakes are made In diagnosis The complications disease. Much information concern ing the influenza and subsequent ;are bronchitis, sore throat, weakened pneumonia has been given through heart muscle and pneumonia. Tho Curtis Oranpa's Little Girls.

C, and history reveals several epi demics of the disease during -each century since that time, and I have no doubt influenza will return at inter vals in epidemic form until the end of time. Symptoms Invasion sudden; mark ed prostration from the beginning; period of incubation 24 to 48 hours; temperature ranging from 100 in the mild to 105 in the severe cases, chills, cough, conjunctivitis, nose bleed. In somnia, pain in head, bones and mus cles. Cause of Influenza The bacillus cuasing the disease has not been iso lated, but many bacilli are associated Golden Road, Kllmany of Orchard Story Girl.

Much has been written In the med ical Journals concerning Influenza during September, March and April. The thought Is, why Is the disease mild at this time of tho year? It is because of the near approach to sum mer heat. If this Is a fact use sum mer heat in the treatment of the dis ease during the fall and winter. Such heat may be secured by the use of stoves, steam heal, hot air or hot water. Also It la not rational to treat a patient m the open who has a low ered resistance due to prostration, ex haustion and body fatigue by influ enza, and still further lower the re sistance of the patient to tho unknown! and various flora that accompany thc disease and which multiply wu rapidly i under such conditions but are almost eliminated by summer heat. Vaccination I had very little ex- i perlence in vaccinating persons who j had been exposed to Influenza. I only used it for members of the family I who were exposed, and so far as I was able to detect 1 do not behove vacci-1 nation protected a single person from ! contracting tho cuaease. i vaccinated all members of the family except small children, aa soon as a diagnosis was made. I persisted in the use of vaccine because tho patients usually showed an improvement within 24 hours after Its use, and persons who were vaccinated run a milder course than those who refused. Treatment The patient must avoid exposure to draughts from windows and doors. Keep the room at a uni form temperature and he sick well covered to prevent the least tendency to chilling the body. Permit bathing only when very necessary for cleans ing purposes. Attendants Instructed to use the bed pan for kidney and bowel movements and all changes of the gowns, sheets and bedding to b. made with patient under cover and all doors and windows closed. Influenza treated In well ventilated rooms, at a uniform temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, will not de velop pneumonia. In a room kept at this temperature the Influenza bacil lus Is clinically dstroyed, or Influ enced by the temperature to the ex tent that it will not Infect the nurse or persons who may be exposed to the germs of the patient. I have treated, my patients, from the beginning of the attack for pneu monia, giving every four hours a capsule containing ammonia carbon ate, quinine and strychnia, alternately with syrup of hydrlodlc acid To eliminate, I administer calomel at the onset of the disease, followed with Halts every two or three days. I use influenza vaccine In all except chil dren, keeping in mind that I am treating a simple disease, which, In a large number of cases, has the pneu mococcus bacillus, that will cause pneumonia if tho patient Is exposed to a cold atmosphere. The patients are given a liquid diet until tho tempera ture subsides; at that time the diet la gradually increased to normal. 1 make my patients go to bed and re main there for three days after the fever subsides. All are required to remain one week longer in a room at a uniform temperature of 70 degrees Pah., by which time the patient has made a complete recovery. It la nec essary to furnish the nurse with n weather thermometer to carry out the above treatment auccestifully. I treat ed 400 cases of Influenza on these lines, with . complication of pneu monia, no deaths, and having had but two calls at night and no consulta tions during the epidemic. I am con vinced that pneumonia Is prevented by this treatment, and that, clinically, the influenza bacillus is killed or so influenced by the heat, that persons coming in contact with the bacillus will not be Infected. This latter has been varifled by the co-operation of the school superintendents and man agers of public places where people meet, with the result that influenza disappeared In our community by the first of February. The theory la also substantiated by the fact that epi demics of Influenza of the past have subsided In the United States when the temperature of our country reaches summer heat. It is safer to attend school and church, if the buildings ate well ventilated and heated at an even temperature of 70 degrees Feh , than to walk the street , of a city. Complications and Sequella The complications are bronchitis, sere throat, weakened heart muscles and. pneumonia. The latter complication r never develops unless the patient is . exposed.

I, take tocbot& when headachy sick, or bilious Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. V If you feel bilious, headachy, con stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson'a Liver Tone for a few cents, which is a harmless vegetable substi tute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and jf it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better fend quicker than, nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and. get your money. If you take calomel today youll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be sides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodion's Liver Tone yon will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready pr work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to) give to children, too. The Fiftieth Anniversary Just fifty years ago this winter Dr. Pierce'gave to the world his famous 'Tavorite Prescription" for the distressing weaknesses and complaints of women. For many years he had been in the active practice of medicine and. his specialty was the diseases of women. Later he desired to give this to the public, and he received a trade-mark protec tion from , the United States patent office for this medicine which is an herbal, " temper ance" prescription with .all the ingredients printed on the bottle wrapper. In his every day prao tice in the early days be also used a tonio and alterative for the blood, which was so univer sally beneficial that he deter mined to place this medicine la the drug stores of the United States, where It could be readily procured by the public This he called his "Golden Medical Dis- eovery," which he had prescribed many years for the stomach! liver , and blood. Both these medicines met with instant success, and during the past half century have sold in greater quantities than any other proprietary medicine." Neither of Dr. Pierce's medicines contains alcohol and both are herbal extracts of native medicinal plants. For the past fifty years forty-eight million bottles have beenused by the American public, and they are today the standard tonics for men and women. They are-now put up In tablet as well as liquid form, and sold by every druggist m the-land. A trial package can bo obtained by sending 10 cents to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel ; in Buffalo. N. Y.
