HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1916-02-04, Page 3Treatment of Pneumonia.
The first symptoms of pneumonia
are not usually different from those
1
of a severe cold. There is likely to
be -a chill, followed by a slight rise of
temperature, loss of appetite, head-
ache, and a cough that raises some
mucous expectoration. That is the
case When the pneumonia is "prim-
ary." In the "secondary" cases,
when the pneumonia accompanies
ome other serious illness, all the
symptoms may be masked by those
of the original disease, so that the
pneumonia is established before any-
one has even suspected the fact.
In those cases the patient is al-
ready under the care of doctor and
nurse, and the pneumonia must be
treated as a complication of the orig-
inal disease. But when a person who
has hitherto been well comes down
with pneumonia, the question of
treatment becomes very important.
Pneumonia is a disease for which
there is no specific treatment,—once
contracted, it must run its course,—
yet there are few illnesses in which
the sort of care that a patient re-
ceives so greatly influences the re-
sult of the attack. ,
A good physician must be put in
charge of the case. He will attend to
each symptom as it arises, and his or-
ders must be scrupulously obeyed.
The largest, best -ventilated and sun-
niest room in the house Should be
taken for the sick room, no matter
who is disturbed thereby. Fresh air
should circulate through it day and
night, although a cold wind must not
blow directly upon the patient. Some
account should be taken of the suf-
ferer's condition from hour • to hour,
and the room should be kept a little
cooler when his temperature is high.
It was once thought that, because
pneumonia so often follows a cold, it question of marksmanship.

People Slowly Learn the Facts.
"All my life I have been a slave to
coffee. I kept gradually losing my
health, but I used to say ']' onsense, it
don't hurt one.'
"Slowly I was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my
nervous force was shattered. (Tea
produces about the same effect as cof-
fee, because they both contain the
drugs, caffeine and tannin).
"My heart became weak and uncer-
tain in its action and that frightened
me. Then my physician told one that I
must stop drinking coffee or I could
never expect to be well again.
"I thought of Postum but could
hardly bring myself to give up the
coffee,
"Filially I concluded that I owed it
to myself to give Postum a trial. I
got a package and carefully followed
the directions, and what a delicious,
nourishing, rich drink it was! Do you
know, I found it very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum.
"Almost immediately after I made
the change I found myself better, and

speech that the southerner loves. In
the old days, when he was engaged
on fortifications, he once spent a holi-
day in mufti in the Pyrenees, and was
so deeply interested in a fort guard-
ing one of the passes that he was sus-
pected of being a German spy! Just
as he drew near to examine the fort
in detail he was suddenly arrested by
a detective and carried before the
commissaire de police:
"Are you a German?" asked the
latter. "A German of the Roussil-
