The patient should go to bed at once, and, while the clothing is comfortable it should be reasonably loose and not heavy. Blankets can be used and warm bottles iu case of chilliness. 2. The apartment for nursing these cases must be a well-ventilated one. Too much stress cannot be laid on this point. Plenty of fiesh air is of great disinfecting value. 3. At the outset there is little desire for food, but the patient should drink freely of water, milk, milk and water, soda water, and Imperial drink. ,The latter is made by adding one teaspoonfuL of cream of tartar to one pint of water. A slice of lemon may be added. Later, soups and broth, egg flips and custards may be added. Orange juice is permissible from the start. 4. Medicines may be obtained from any chemist. MEDICAL TREATMENT. IN EVERY CASE at the outset order No. 1 MIXTURE from your Chemist. IN CASES WITH BRONCHITIS, COLDS, etc., order NO. 2 MIXTURE from your Chemist. IN ALL CASES order NO. 3 (PILLS) APERIENT. 1. Go to bed directly you feel symptoms like pain in head and limbs, or a "cold." 2. Go to bed in room not occupied by a person who is well. Stay in bed till temperature normal. 3. On going to bed, take drink of any kind as hot as possible, remove sheets, and lie between blankets. 4. Take light diet, such as milk, beef tea, .soups, gruel. 5. Don't depress yourself by looking at the bad side. 6. Remember that the large majority of persons who take ill get well. 7.
