TREATISE ON
INFLUENZA BY
A SPECIALIST
—
The Daily Times has been furnished
with a copy of the New York Health
Culture by Councilman Will C'layson,
i which contains a lengthy article from
j the pen of Dr. Walter .1 N. Diving
| ston on the cause, prevention and
| cure of influenza. The following ex
i ccrpis arc timely and may prove of
j interest to our readers:
"There is a certain sequence in
diseases. They change like the
j changing fashions. Every race, every
! temperament, every season, has its
| special disorder. The phlegmatic
i races, stolid and heavy feeding, are
prone to rheumatism, 'biliousness' and
apoplexy. The highly sensitive, in
tellectual races suffer from threpsia,
neurasthenia and other disorders of
nervous origin. A century ago men
died of apoplexy. Now they die of
. heart failure. The girl has chlorosis,
or green sickness.' The old man has
the gout. In file summer we have
malaria. In the winter we form the
acquaintance of influenz.a.
"It will he observed that, although
epidemic influenza travels rapidly, il
goes no faster than the rate of travel
Itself This fart, together with the
knowledge that its spread is not in
fluenced by the direction of the wind,
would indicate that (he influenza is
what is known as a contagio-infec
tious disease: that is, a disease pro
duced by a specific germ, transmitted
from another person having (lie same
"The terms infectious and eontu- \
j gious are frequently misapplied. In- i
fectious is a word applied to diseases
! produced by a specific germ, but not
necessarily transmissible from one
person to another. Contagious is a
term indicating those diseases in
which the pathogenic germ may lie
transmitted from one person to tin
other. An infectious disease may or
I may not lie contagious; but a eonta
j gious disease is necessarily infectious,
i Another point regarding infection is
not generally understood Disease
: germs, like seeds, grow only where
I they find suitable soil. From what ;
we know of pathogenic processes, it (
• is safe to state that an individual in
! prime health would be invulnerable to
= the attacks of disease germs
- "The grip is no respecter of per
i sons, and attacks all ages and lent
1 peraments. although more frequently
those between L’n and 1". The symp
toms vary greatly Fsually, however,
the opening symptoms are those of
what is commonly called a 'cold.' that
is. sneezing, coughing, running at the
nose, chills (sometimes quite severe.),
and fever usually slight. Sometimes
the onset is marked by extreme and
sudden prostration. At other times
the ntta k begins with severe pains
in the head, chest nr elsewhere
throughout the muscular system.
These pains are severe and sudden:
and their peculiar character has given
to the influenza its popular title, the
grip Mental depression is a frequent
symptom, becoming sometimes so ex
cessive as to induce suicide, or even
homicide.
"There is always fever. This 1b ! i?
usually slight at first; hut generally 8
rises to 103 or 104 degrees. Like all ;g
other symptoms, however, the tern-1
perature varies greatly. Delirium !
Is sometimes associated with the
fever.
"The symptoms of influenza are so x;
various that it is impracticable to
name them all. The complications are ;X
numerous bronchitis, pneumonia and ;!;:
various heart difficulties being -x
among the number
"So much for the history of the Jx
grip. The practical questions, how- : x
ever, are: How is this condition to j jx
be recognized? How is it to be treat- xj
ed’’ And last and most important, j |x
How can an attack of grip or Spanish
influenza be prevented?
"As to diagnosis, symptoms of a
cold sore throat, coughing, sneezing.
running at the nose, with severe nuts- -x
cular pains, fever and sensations of :£
chilliness and severe prostration can ¥:
hardly be mistaken
"When this condition Is recognized Jx
the treatment becomes a matter of ;|:j
grave importance. Every case sus- | j;:;
pected of being grip should be treated K;
as if it were really such. This is the I
only safe rule. At the first symptoms j jt;
of influenza the patient should at
once be put to bed Refusal to give gj
up to treatment has resulted in many I g:
fatal complications; indeed, has been | j-|:
the most common cause of death in 3*
this disease Once in bed and warmly j
covered, the patient should drink t;'-:
freely of hot or cold water, so that g:
the action of the kidneys and the skin j §•
may be stimulated. Meditation Is or- | £:
dinarily of little avail. Stimulation!:;:
is worse than useless. Unscientific | ;❖
treatment by routine methods of stint- j :*
illation and anti-pyresis has unqties-| ;i;:
lionably often proven the cause of fa- :x
tal complications
"Dotniis of treatment must depend i
largely upon the symptoms. Distress :J;
ing rough may be relieved by sipping y:
hot water and by hot eomnresses or
by alternating hot and eold com- 1 y:
presses applied to chest if (here Is .y
excessive tironehial irritation, with
pain and tenderness, the compresses ;y
mav be sti|tplemented bv tite inhala
lion of hot steam.
"The temperature may lie con
trolled by sponging the entire body y:
with mol water This should he done ;y
bv exposing a part of the body only y:
at one time Sponge this quickly, dry ;y
thoroughly; and then, after recover- y:
ing it. proceed in the same way until S
the entire body has been bathed. This y:
is not only a perfect method'<•. afriti- ■;’>
pyrosis or control of the temperature,
hut is a comparable tonic to the de
pressed organism.
"The catarrhal mucous surfaces _
need especial attention. The severe
headache sometimes present may

Tite bowels should be thoroughly

tepid water at least once every day.
"Whin the nasal passages are nb
str't'led. with, perhaps, sore throat
and bronchial irritation, the use of
some healing and antiseptic vaporized
application is advisable. The oil of

the parts involved.
"The most important feature of the j
treatment is the diet In the vast mu

all o‘h<T acute diseases, the .secre

Food taken at such times is not di- I
gesled. hut ferments, forming poisons j
which complicate the already existing
disorder.
"In the grip a craving for food is a
very unusual symptom. When pres-!
cut. however, it is simply a sign of !
gastric inflammation, and is a strong
indication that food should not be

have an absolute rest.
