SPANISH INFLUENZA-
L
INTERNA
CLEANLINESS
SOME PLAIN TALK ON THE EPIDEMIC BY AN AUTHORITY
ON HEALTH
Boriiiirr MafFaildon, editor of the Pliv.sicii! Culture
MaKHS'.iiie, mid one of the foremost exponents in America
of the art of cultivating f?oo(l Jiealth, has an iij'ticle in the
)ec.einler issue of his magazine on the influenza epidemic,
which the pulilic mind, hopelessly confused as it is fruiu di
vergent opinions of medical practitioners we can not say
authorities in this instance will receive with more or less
relief.
; There is more sound common sense, we helieve, in
"what MacKadden has to say regarding influenza than in
ream of sundry other writings which the public has eu
(tt'Hvored 1u vain to digest. J le sjiys in part:
"influenza has brought death to thousands within the
past ew weeks.
"Death is to he expected on the battlefields of France.
It is the natural risk of the soldier's life. .
' "And to him it has its) compensations.
le is fighting for his country. As he goes into battle,
he is thrilled by the thought of the dangers before him. lie
has given himself to a glorious cause.
"And when death stares a man in the face, when it is
a question of his or the other man's life, he is in a frenzy
of excitement.
"Then dying is easy. It is often painless, instan
taneous. .
" Hut death from Spanish influenza is inglorious, dis
graceful, dishonorable. You go to your last resting place
unheralded, unsung. Yourjleath is unnecessary. It means
a wastage of human life due either to inexcusable neglect,
or to dense ignorance of the great laws of life.
"For diseases of this sore are made! possible only by
one condition.
"An unclean alimentary canal.
"When you acquire Spanish or any' other kind of in
fluenza, you are internally dirty. The inside of your ali
mentary canal is foul with impurities. It is usually packed
with a decomposing, fermenting, putrid mass, and it is
from material of this sui t that your blood is made.
"And your blood is your life. It is you.. From tliis
blood every part of you is created. It furnishes the force
that makes your heart beat. J t supplies viiergy f-or your
every thought.
"When their bodies are thus reeking with impurities,
many-wonder why they contract disease, why everv trcmi
that is going appears to seek them out. lint if people of
1 his sort -were able to avoid disease it would be much more
to be wondered- at.
..U'l I i 1 i. i .i . .
" n:u your amneinary canal is I . m I and iugy;i.--li you
may wash yourself -nut il yu rub the skin off and ou j
would still lie unclean unclean inside.
"And internal iincleaidincss makes your blood im j
c1ein, your 1 1 rani sluugish, your nerve unstable and voiir'
muscles weak. j
"The quality of your blood may be influenced ad van-'
tageoiisly by a clean skin, but the nature of this lil'e-gix 'iiil' j
fluid is mostly determined by tl haracter of the coiilem J
of the aliniiititary canal from which it is originallv. ab-1
sorbed. j
"Daily baths are aluahlc. Thev stimulate the ilal'
functions, denude the external surface and are in-eesarv
to the acquirement, of a hili degree of health. Di it cleanli
ness of the stomach and the internal loembraiicoiw mii

"Internal cleanliness is, therefore, the first essential
in avoiding not only Spanish influenza, but all other dis
eases. "And the remedy for the disease, when once acquired,
is tjie same as the means of prevention.
".Make vigorous efforts to clean your alimentary
canal.
""Wash out your stomach again and again and still
again. "When your stomach and alimentary canal through
out are clean, vour foul breath w ill disappear. You will
enjoy the self-respect that comes with
ternal cleanliness.

How Suffering Tohimy, Doomed to

"Yimk, I'm only twonty-rlt'lit, hut

Tommy Just before we turiH'd Into
our jilei'plm; rolls on the cohh-st nl'lit
that I hud experienced. And hU aw
ful couch, the result of heins Ki''d
early In the war, when they hud no
jnasks, ndded fatal testimony to his
Statement.
All nij;ht Ions lie roughed. About
midnight I awoke fihlverinp. Vroin
his coiu'hini; I knew thai he was
liwake, I said ) ''Totnniy, I never was so
cold In my life,' ami then In a few
minutes I was asleep a'nln.
An hour later I was aaln uirnkennd
hy his violent couhlns. To my sur
prise. I seemed to he wiind niul wonder
ed if the wind had suddenly chanced,
hut from its constant whistling I knew
It had not. I reached out and felt
two extra blankets on me. I suspect
ed whence they had come by that vio
lent couching.
I (rot up and carried them back to
when he lay, say In? : "Tminy, did
you put these blankets on nieV" He
replied: "Yes, Yank, you said you wen
cold."
"Hut what about you?"
"oh, me? I'm used to It."
-"Well, all I cot to say is, thank ynu ;
but If you ever do that trick ncain I'll
throw ym out of the window in the
snow and let you freeze to death," And
then I put them back on his shivering,
trussed body. William I.. Htidcr in
