Its Coming.
If you begin to sneeze and sniffle
and your bones begin to ache and you
feel a general weariness headed your
way go to bed and take care of your
self for you are in a fine way to get
what laymen generally term the grip.
If you do go to bed drm't worry
about it, for several hundred other
people in Portland are doing the same
thing. The disease plays.no favorites
and is reaching into some of Portland's
best regulated families.
Portland doctors who are treating
people for this malady say that the
best thing to do is to keep the system
resuluted and give careful attention
to your diet. A laxative is also of
much benefit.
If the sickness begins to get a real
hold on yu take some aspirin. The
doctorb say tlmt is about the best
thing and prescribe five grains every
three hours Other doctors are pre
scribing quinine.
The present epidemic is not really
la gippe or influenza, according to the
doctors. It Is nothing more than cold ;
accompanied by aching bones. They
say that there are very few cases of

Dr. O. T. Tommald has also noted
the prevalance of the colds but say
that few cases of Influenza have come

i "Keep the system in order." he says.
"A laxative should be taken. Five
