The new variety of flu, which
has already swept through Asia

alert public health authorities
to the presence of the epidemic)
there's no particular point in

ordinary kind
of flu.
The first
warning prob

slight chill.
Then your

will shoot up
to 102 or per-
i.ouu Cassels haps as high
as 104. You'll have a sore throat,
cough and headache; your mus
cles and joints will ache all over.
You'll feel miserable for four
or five days until the fever sub
sides; weak and rundown for
several days after that.

this country so far.

flu. And the treatment is iden

It consists of going to bed im
mediately and staying there
until 24 hours after your tem
perature goes down to normal.
Drink lots of liquids and eat a
bland diet. Take aspirin or some
other analgesic for your aches
and pains, some cough syrup for
your cough.
Call the doctor right away and
tell him your .symptoms. But
don't badger him to dose you up
with wonder drugs to ward off
complcations.
If you do develop pneumonia
or some other serious complica
tion and chances are you won't
antibiotics like penicillin will
be a highly effective treatment.
But antibiotics are no good what
ever against the flu itself. ' In
fact, they may do positive harm
if taken prematurely.
Authority for these statements
is Dr. William H. Stewart, assist
