INFLUENZA
Pains in the limbs, headache and ai feeling of being out of sorts are the principal symptoms which characterise influenza. The danger of this illness lies not so much in itself as in its complications. It is caused by" a germ—not yet clearly identified by medical science —• one of whose chief effects is to lay the patient open to attacks by other organisms. Pneumonia and broncho-pneu-monia sometimes develop. It is a wise policy to go to bed as soon as your temperature rises—when you feel hot one moment and cold the next —with a hot drink, a hot water-bottle and a warm blanket. J Keep on a light diet—milk, e££S, plenty of fruit juice and plenty to drink are all that are required in the way of nourishment. Attacks during the present prevalence are short and sharp, and there is little to be afraid of if you treat them a ® once.
