The mouth, throat and nose should be systematic. ally and frequently disinfected by an- tiseptic inhalations, sprays and wash- es, Such' • preparations- as chlore- tone aisd listerine are weli adapted for this purpose, In fighting previous epidemics( doc- tors found •quinine a useful preventive. One grain of sulphate of quinine mix- ed with(but not is I e 'i ltd ov d it) a• wine - glassful of cold water makes an ex- cellent antiseptic gargle. The anti- microbe'properties of quinine are well known its use as described above at once relieves the symptoms of 'sor'e throat, which result from the straits of the fight between the white, blood corpuscles and the invading germs in the' tonsils -the body's first line of defence. Quinine Is also given inter- nally with success as a preventive, In one of tate more recent outbreaks in Europe, an experiment was tried in which the men of one squadron of -a regiment of cavalry were each given 7%z grains of qut»ine in 3' ounce of whiskey daily for 22 days, whilst those of the_ other squadrons were given none, The latter squadrons had from 22 to 44 cases of influenza, whilst the squadron treated wills qui- nine developed only •1 cases. inhala- tions of oil of eucalyptus, thymol, (sill of mountain pine and the like are also valuable as preventives, When a person is HOW TO struck by influenza TREAT I'1', • only one course lies• ines , That i 's morning from - d. n New York. y g tt r Major . j to, t take o st bed with l d tls tse least - pais sible delay, and call a doctor.
