discoverer PfelfTor a nntlllua in otnnr
ense of apparently the aanio kind of
disease there were found pneumoeoeel
the germ of lohnr pneumnnln Still
other have been caused by atrepto-
coeel and by oilier serin with long
names
Wo matter what particular kind of
germ cause the epidemic It Is now
believed Ibat Influenza Is always
spread from person to person the
germs being carried with the nlr along
with the very small droplets of mucus
exjielled by coughing or sneezing
forceful talking and the like by one
who alreuily has the germs of the dis-
ease They may also be carried about
In the air In the form of dust eoiulng
from dried mucus ffom coughing nnd
sneering or from cnreless people who
spit on the floor nnd on the sidewalk
As In most other catching diseases
person who has only a mild attack of
the disease himself muy give a very
severe attack to other"
What ahould be done by thoae who
catch the disease 7
"It Is Very Important that every per-
son who becomes sick with Influenza
should go home at once nnd go to bed
This will help keep away dangerous
complications and will at the same
time keep the-patient from scattering
the disease fur and wide It Is highly
desirable that no one be allowed to
sleep In the same room with the pa-
tient - In fact no one hut the nurse
should be allowed In the room
"If there Is cough and sputum or
’running of the eyes and nose care
should he taken that hll such dis-
charges are collected on bits of gauzo
o- rag or paper napkins and burned
If the patient complains of fever and
headache he should be given water to
drink a cold compress to the forehead
and a light sponge Only such medi-
cine should be given ns Is prescribed
by the doctor It Is foolish to ask the
druggist to prescribe and may be dan-
gerous to take the so-called ‘safe sure
and harmless’ remedies advertised by
patent medicine manufacturers
“If the patient Is so situated that he
can be nttended only by some one who
must also look after others In the fam-
ily It Is advisable that such attendant
wear a wrapper apron or gown over
the ordinary house clothes while In (lie
sick room nnd slip this off when leav-
ing to look after the others
“Nurses and attendants will do well
to guard against breathing In danger-
ous disease germs by wearing a simple
fold of gauze or mask while near the
patient”
Will a person who has had Influenza
before catch the disease again?
- “It Is well known that an attack of
measles or scarlet fever or smallpox
usually protects a person against an-
other nttnek of the same disease This
appears not to be true of ‘Spanish tn-
fluenzn According to newspaper re-
ports the King of Spain suffered an
attack of influenza during the epi-
demic thirty years ago and was again
stricken during the recent outbreak In
Spain”
How can one guard against influ-
enza? ( '
' “In guarding ngnlnst disease’ of all
kinds It Is important that the body bn
kept strong and able to fight off dis-
ease germs This can be done by hav-
ing a proper proportion of work play
and rest by keeping the body well
clothed and by eating sufiicient whole-
some and properly selected food In
connection with diet It Is well to re-
member Hint milk Is one of the best
all-around foods obtainable for adults
as well as children So far as u dls-'
ease like Influenza Is concerned health'
authorities everywhere recognize the)
very close relation between Its spread
and overcrowded homes While It Is1
not always possible especially In'
times like the present to avoid such
overcrowding people should consider
the health danger and make ‘every
effort to reduce the home overcrowd-
ing to a minimum The value of fresh
air through open windows cannot be
over emphasized
“When crowding Is unavoidable as
In street cars care should be taken to
keep the face so turned ns not to In-
hale directly the air breathed out hy
another person
“It is especially Important to be-
ware ' of the person who coughs or
sneezes without covering his mouth
and nose It also follows that dne
should keep out of crowds nnd stuffy
places ns much ns possible keep
homes offices nnd worksltops well
aired spend some time out of doors
each day walk to work if at all prac-
ticable — In short make every possible
effort to breathe as much pure air as
possible
“In hll health matters follow the ad-
