Like the common cold, flu is an infection of the upper respiratory tract. But it is much more severe. Flu viruses can work their way into the breathing passageways t and damage the linings, then spread to the air sacs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. The workings of the entire body can be disrupted. Antimicrobial drugs do not attack flu viruses but they can work to fend off other complications. With bed rest and medical attention, most people recover within days or weeks from the flu. But if the infection is not properly tended, complications like pneumonia can set in. There are several different types of pneumonia, some more serious than others. But about half of them are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are ineffective in treating viral pneumonia. Antibiotics can be useful, though, in treating types of pneumonia caused by bacterial 'W fisrianSonia," whose 1 301113iOrri is usually ; a violent cote!, is another kind of infection caused by the smallest free-living agent of disease called mycoplasmas. This afent cannot be called a virus or a bacteria, but it has characteristics of both. Antibiotics can help combat this infection. Anyone with suspicious symptoms of violent coughing, chills, chest pains, fever, and headache, should call his doctor immediately. Infections of the respiratory tract, even when they 'respond to antibiotics, demand early diagnosis and treatment. The pneumonia- influenza disease group is the country's fifth leading killer. To support the struggle against respiratory disease, answer your Christmas Seal letter. There's more to do. Between 15 and 20 percent of Canadians may be suffering from some form of bronchitis according to results of a survey conducted in Manitoba. The survey, carried out jointly by the University of Manitoba and the Sanatorium Board of Manitoba, intended to promote the early discovery of airway obstruction (bronchitis) and to learn more about the incidence, natural history and factors that influence it. By means of a breathing test that measures lung capacity, and a respiratory questionnaire to determine symptoms, information was gathered on 30,000 Manitobans. The findings indicate that between 15 and 20 percent of the eople tested have evidence of obstruction to air flow in the bronchi. About one-half of them had no symptoms and according to Dr. R. M. Cherniack, co-ordinator of the survey, probably have early bronchitis, The other half have more advanced disease. - Since air pollution is not a problem '10;":Manitoba Dr.' Cherniack beiieves that a similar study should be undertaken in Montreal or Toronto to determine the situation in an area where air pollution is a problem. The Huron-Perth TBRD Association has lung function testing equipment and is carrying out similar tests in centres in the two counties. The Canadian Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association, through its Christmas Seal Campaign supports year-round research into chronic respiratory diseases, Several provincial associations are presently undertaking projects to determine the incidence of respiratory disease in their province. Unlike tuberculosis, respiratory diseases Each year azaleas are becoming more popular as a Christmas gift plant. For the lucky people who received one, R. W. Crawford, horticultural specialist, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, offers some hints to make it last longer. Azaleas like to be cool and moist. However, this condition is not found very often in homes with central heating. By placing the plant in a window or in a cooler room you can prolong its life. Misting the foliage and buds will also help prolong the blooming period. The soil must be moist at all times, but be careful not to l'ttverwater, ° a,1 The azalea can be used in your garden over summer and will occasionally bloom again in the garden.
