“NEW” OR SPANISH IN-
FLUENZA
J
Our State Board of Health
states:
“The disease is due to spit
swapping. Spit is swapped or
exchanged in the following
ways: (a) by coughing or
sneezing into the air instead of
into a handkerchief. In open
coughing or sneezing, an infec
tious and invisible spray is
thrown several yards into the
air and floats for thirty to sixty
minutes. The greater the
spraying, as in the psychic
waves of coughing that paSs
through assemblages, moving
picture shows, churches, and
I other gatherings, the denser
and more potent the infectious
atmosphere; (b) by soiling the
hands with spit (very small, in
visible amounts) and transfer
ring the spit to the hands of
another person in handclasps,
or by handling something, as a
door knob or some article from
which a second person gets the
minutest amount of spit; (c)
by using the comon roller towel
contaminating and being con
taminated; (d) by using com
mon drinking dipper?, common
drinking cups, and common
spit infected water from a com
mon bucket; (e) by using any
thing other than paper cups, ice
cream saucers, and spoons dis
infected ia visible boiling water
at soda fountains.
DONTS
“1. Don’t associate with the
impolite and careless, who
spray your air with their spit.
“2. Don’t go to unnecessary
public gatherings while the epi
demic is on. Put your moving
picture show money in Thrift
Stamps. /
“3. Don’t drink from comon
drinking dippers and drinking
cups.
“4. Don’t use a roller towel.
“5. Don’t patronize a soda
fountain that does not use pa
per cups.
“If you get the grippe: Go to
bed and stay there until you are
well, until your temperature
has been normal for at least 2
days. If you are past fifty, or
if you are not strong, stay in
bed four days after normal
temperature. Remember, the
danger of grippe is pneumonia.
Pneumonia is the penalty for
disrespect to the grippe that
gets out of bed too .soon.”
The county board of health
ever watchful to prevent the
spread of disease and protect
the health of the people, has
closed al churches, public
schools, places of amusement
and all public gatherings, in
order to prevent the spread of
Spanish influenza which is very
contagious.
The people should aid in this
work and should avoid all pub
lic gatherings, social gather
ings, should stay at home as
much as possible, and should
by all means, keep their chil
dren at home and away from
other children. To prevent the
spread of this disease, isolation
and sanitation should be car
ried out to the fullest extent.
Remember, that the soda foun
tain can spread this and other
diseases. Paper cups should
be used and everything else
sterilized.
From a close bed-side obser
vation of several cases of the
Spanish influenza, I feel safe in
saying that it is the same old
grippe, but it is more acute
from the fact that it is a fresh
importation of disease, differ
ent only in some symptoms, be
cause different organs of the
body are more affected, giving
different characteristic symp
toms. '' ,
The grippe that we have had
for years, has been different in
this respect in each epidemic.
In on^ epidemic the n^uscular
system seemed affected, in an
other the nervous system, in an
other the digestive organs were
most affected, giving us the so-
called “intestinal grippe.”
In this epidemic which
threatens to spread rapidly,
while the sufferer complains of
a general grippe as of old, there
are special symptoms and to a
great extent different organs
affected, principally the head,
the joints, and the respiratory
organs.
Sharp pains in the hips and
other joints, an intense weak
ness of the knees,'patient feels
as if he would sink to the floor,
the headache is severe, split
ting, . mostly frontal and
straight through the temples,
there is a feeling of vertigo, or
a dizzy feeling, patient feels as
if he had lost his powers of
equilibrium, a feeling as if he
could not balance himself, the
stomach is affected with more
or less nausea, there is a great
deal of pain in the back, in
some cases great soreness of
the skin, some complaint of
great insomnia,^ impossible for
them to sleep, sore throat is fre
quent.
The disease is ushered in
with pronounced chills, or chil
ly feelings, the loss of strength
is sudden, there is a feeling of
intense weakness, a very hope
less feeling of weakness, the
lungs, bronchial tubes, mouth,
mucous membrane of the nose
are affected and throw off con
tagious germs.
The lungs expand poorly,
the respiration is frequent and
shallow, the cough is very ir
ritating and constant, the pulse
runs from 100 to 115 and 120
or higher, rather soft, the tem
perature, 100-102-103 to 104
and sometimes higher, the ton
gue is sometimes slightly coat
ed, the bowels torpid.
This disease is at first or
sooner or later, essentially a di
sease of the lungs, there is al
ways congestion of the lungs
and frequently pneumonia if
the latter is not prevented by
timely and proper treatment,
and the congestion and pneu
monia prepares the lungs for
consumption in neglected cas
es. While all of the symptoms
call for relief, the lungs should
receive the first, best and last
attention. The lungs are the
doors at which death enters.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires c-onstitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Medicine is taken Internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease.>giving the

stitution and assisting nature in doing its
