A Chicago physician, speaking of la
grippe, sayt: "I hav treated the dis
ease on tcieuUAo principle. I have
found that alcohol, borax, and heated
air are deadly enemies of the organism
which has caused so much trouble dur
ing the past two years. Tb weakest
part of the body is always attacked
fl ret, the nose, eyes, or ears. As soon ths
as the symptoms of the grippe appear,
patient should go to a ttovs and ttthal
hot air. This of Itself Is sufficient la
tome oases to destory the organisms.
But in addition to the hot air,
aloohollo vaport and powdered borax
should be Inhaled. For the eyes I
would recommend a mixture ' of four
grains of borax to one ounce ot rose
water. When the ears an attacked
treatment must be directed to the
throat A small lump of borax may
be dissolved In the mouth. In any
case the patient should alt by a stove,
using the alcoholic vapor and heated
air. The only object is to destroy the
baclllus,and this treatment never fails.
I think It a good plan for every person
to carry In the pocket a two-ounce
vial of alcohol ana a small box of pure
powdered borax and a few lumps of
Borax to hold in the mouth tor the
throat."
