' INFLUENZA THREE-DAY FEVER Surgeon-General Rupert Blue says that "In most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather suddenly. He feels weak, has pains in the eyes, ears, head or back, and may be sore all over. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit. Most of the patients complain of feeling chilly, and with this comes a fever in which the temperature rises to 100 to 104. In most cases the pulse remains relatively rel-atively slow. In appearance one is struck by the fact that the patient looks sick. His eyes and the inner side of his eyelids may be slightly "blood-shot," or "congested," as the doctors say. There may be running from the nose, or there may be some cough. These signs of a cold may not be marked; nevertheless the patient pa-tient looks and feels very sick. "Ordinarily, the fever lasts from three to four days and the patient recovers. When death occurs is Is usually the result of a complication. "It is very important that every person who becomes sick with influenza influ-enza should go home at once, go to j bed and call a doctor. This will help keep away dangerous complications and will, at the same time, keep the patient from scattering the disease far and wide." Finally, ordinary colds do not spread through a community so rapidly rap-idly or so extensively as does influenza. influ-enza. a |
