"During
every
season,
certain
people
have
'head
colds,'
coughs,
and
'feverish
colds.'
These
are
produced
by
certain
states
of
climate
acting
on
certain
states
of
constitution.
At
particular
seasons
such
complaints
abound--at
others
they
abound
still
more;
and
again,
from
some
singularity,
they
prevail
so
much
that
people
say,
there
is
an
Influenza.
"Influenza
has
been
long
known
in
the
world.
It
has
often
visited
Europe;
and
made
its
appearance
on
our
shores
with
greater
severity
than
at
present.
It
has
sometimes
been
very
severe,
and
left
many
persons
ill
for
a
year
or
two.
"The
symptoms
of
influenza
need
not
be
dwelt
on,
as
they
have
been
so
generally
felt
by
our
readers
or
their
friends.
It
varies
in
different
people,
to
be
sure,
both
in
kind
and
in
degree.
Considering
the
number
of
people
it
attacks,
it
may
be
looked
on
as
an
innocent
disease;
but,
on
the
other
hand,
looking
at
the
increase
it
has
made
in
the
number
of
deaths,
it
is
an
exceedingly
serious
one
after
all.
"In
simple
cases--confinement
to
a
pure
and
temperate
air,
warm
drinks,
and
a
warm
bath,
or,
at
least,
a
warm
foot-bath,
with
an
extra
blanket,
and
a
little
more
rest
than
usual,
keeping
to
mild
food,
and
toast
and
water,
and
taking,
if
necessary,
a
dose
of
aperient
medicine,--is
all
that
is
required.
In
serious
cases,
the
domestic
treatment
must
become
professional.
Mustard
plasters
to
the
back
relieve
the
headache.
Squills
find
other
medicines
'loosen'
the
outstanding
cough.
Bark
and
wine,
and
even
cold
baths
are
sometimes
requisite
for
the
weakness
left
behind.
But
these
things
can
only
be
used
with
discrimination
by
a
regular
professional
man.
