Winter is a flu wonderland.
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

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
