STOP THE FLU
^ hat You Ought to Know
About It TODAY
EY ARKANSAS PUBLIC HEALTH
ASSOCIATION.
T he influenza storm signals were
sent oat last fall by the doctors ail
over the land, but, now that the
plague is with us, how many of us
know (a) how the germ is carried,
(b) how to avoid getting it, (sc) how
to cope with it if we do get it, and
(d) how to keep it to ou’iselvee?
Influenza is a germ disease, there
fore contagious, just as smallpox is
contagious. It may be carried by well
people as well as by the sick, and is
found in the discharges of the eyes,
mouth and nose. It may be carried
in—
(a) Face to face conversa
tions.
(b) Coughing and sneezing.
(c) Common drinking ves
sels.
(d) Articles which have been
coughed or sneezed on, or
handled by infected persons,
door knobs, etc.
(e) Food which has been ex
posed to the germs and not sub
sequently cooked.
Therefore, to avoid contract
ing it—
(a) Beware of crowds where
others cough and sneeze.
(b) Avoid drinking and eat
ing utensile erf others, even well
persons and members of your
own family.
(c) Always wash the hands
just before eating.
(d) In nursing it, be sure to
wear a mask over the nose and
mouth, and keep the hands dis
infected with a solution of one
part bichloride of mercury to
two thousand parts of water.
How do you know you are taking it?
The disease develops in from one tc
four days after exposure, beginning
with fever and headache and some
times a chill, dizziness, pains in dif
ferent parts of the body, often with
sore throat and other symptoms o(
cold in the head or chest. Therefore,
if you find yourself with the above
symptoms, GO TO BED AND CALL
THE DOCTOR. If you can’t get the
doctor the following suggestions will
be helpful until he arrives:
(a) GO TO BED AT ONCE.
(b) Have the room thorough
ly ventilated, but free from
drafts.
(c) Drink liquids freely, es
pecially lemonade, the more the
better, as this dilutes the poison
which the germs are throwing
Aff.
(d) Keep the bowels open.
(e) Avoid patent medicines.
The real danger in infltmnz*
not so much in its own fatality, foi
it is not often fatal when working
alone, bitf in the arrival of its terrible
ally, pneumonia. Therefore, the ne
cesslty of great care for ourselves and
others when we have contracted it
How can we keep it to ourseive*?
(a) Cover the mouth and
nose in sneezing and coughing.
(h) Avoid using the drinking
and eating vessels of others.
(c) Do not attempt to break
quarantine, even in your own
home, until the doctor says it is
sale to do so.
(d) Be sure you are fully able
to work before returning to
>our duties. Take the doctor’s
judgment on this, not your own.
If the “cold” or other unfavorable
symptoms hang on, lose no time in
having a thorough examination for
tuberculosis. Hundreds of “flu” cases
last year subsequently flared up into
that deadly malady which murders
^tore people than any other disease.
It is easier to head off tuberculosis
than to cure it. Hence
AFTER YOU HAVE RECOVERED
1. Have your doctors examine you
thoroughly to see if r.ny signs of tu
berculosis are present. You can not
tell without an expert examination.
2. If free from any trace of tuber
culosis, keep so by sufficient rest dur
ing convalescence, and careful living
then and afterwards.
3. If your "cold” hangs on, or there
are other indications of tuberculosis,
begin medical treatment without a
moment’s delay.
4. Get into touch with the Arkansas
Public Health Association, which is
your State Tuberculosis Association,
'>09 Donaghey Building, Little Rock,
Ark., for literature on tuberculosis,
which will be sent you without charge
and which will help you JMur
physicians.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
EVERY FORD OWNER SHOULD KNOW
Just what Ford service is, and why it is dif
ferent from ordinary garage service. The Ford
dealer is a part of the Big Ford Family. He
carries a large stock of genuine Ford parts
for repairs and replacements, and he uses
only genuine parts because he knows the im
itation parts are not dependable.
He has a thoroughly-equippe cl, up-to-the-min
ute garage with tools that enable his Ford
mechanics to efficiently and properly make any
repair—from a minor adjustment to a com
plete overhaul.
Now, we are Authorized Ford Dealers—a
part of the great Ford Service organization
which was formed chiefly to put within each
community a dealer who would have more
than a passing interest in Ford repairs and ad
justments. Drive in or phone and we’ll come
for your car.
