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

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

ing the influenza and subsequent ;are bronchitis, sore throat, weakened
pneumonia has been given through heart muscle and pneumonia. Tho

article is reproduced:
History of the Disease The first
record of Influenza was registered 413
B. 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

latter compllcntloti nover develops
unless the patient is exposed.
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. Write, Dr. Pierce's if you wait free efldentis.
