' * r ' T rAOB BCR. R. ™ /• ■>>>•• ; - k|$7V r K Doctor Reccomends Grapefruit for Flu Florida Physician Claims Id Have Treated Successfully 502 Cases in Sixty Days. I Manufacturers’ Record. Doctor MacKenzie, the writer of the following: article, was formerly assis tant instructor in medicine at St. Louis university; formerly resident physician of Mount St. Rose Throat and Chest hospital at St. Louis; as sociate of Dr. William Porter, a lead ing throat and chest physician of St. Louis, who was earlier the associate of Sir Morrell MacKenzie, physician to the crown of England. Doctor MacKenzie has been for ten consecu tive terms Mayor of Leesburg, Fla.; three terms a member of the legisla ture and for two terms president of the Lake County board of public in struction. He has retired from ac tive practice and does only charity or emergency work. Recent statements from him in regard to the value of grapefruit juice in the cure of influ enza prompted the Manufacturers Record to ask for his experience and his views on # the subject. This state ment and the following article by him are in answer. Not being a medical authority, the Manufacturers Record cannot assume any responsibiltiy for such important statements as Doctor MacKenzie makes, but we suggest that 'responsible medical authorities should fully investigate the matter.— Editor Manufacturers Record.) Grapefruit, baking soda, a few fast days, pure water'. Prosaic things, aren’t they? So simple that they have been overlooked as influenza marched on taking its terrible toll, for the eager eye usuaMy is obvious to the obvious, yet in them lie the way to health and restoration from the savage “flu.” Up until 1918, the cause, nature and course of true Sjianish influenza was practically unknown in America. I When the epidemic came, physicians groped in the dark while coffins choked the highways. Calomel, pur gatives and heart depressants given “for the fever” kept funeral bells toll ing all the more vigorouuly. And then as I searched frantically for some light in the darkness of this grim dis ease, there accidentally came a faint glimmer like a struck match in a fog It was a translation of a paper by a famous Spanish pathologist who had made an intensive study of influenza. That paper traced the course of the disease from its origin in Mongolia to Morocco, thence to Spain and from theie to the four corners of the world. It suggested no treatment, but made the emphatic claim that the germ causing influenza thrived and became virulent in an a id medium, and was inhibited by an alkaline one. If true —treatment was simple and plain, viz: to render the system of its victim alkal ine. How? Many means were available, yet the simplest and most universally pievaler.t were citrus fruits and baking soda. Fearfully- I tried grapefruit juice and soda in my next case of influ enza, a virulent one complicated with pneumonia. Results were startling— symptoms mitigated in a few hours, hemorrhage (severe) stopped imme diately, recovery was rapid. Being called into the United States pubMc health service I healed 502 Cases of the most severe types within 60 days without a single fatality, this in spite of the fact that double pneu monia, violent hemorrhage, cerebral (brain) infections, inte-stinal inflama- tkm. inadequate care* extreme.poverty were among the things with which it was necessary to contend, The same treatment tried by other physicians 7 arid myself in innumerable cases since* that time has given the same happy results. Following is the treatment in de tail': At.the first signs of “cold” or influenza all food is stopped, but plenty of cool, pure water is given throughout) the course of the disease Food in an inflamed alimentary canal is worse than useless, will not digest, taxes the flagging heart in an effort to get rid of it, irritates and distends an inflamed digestive tract. No one will starve or need food for a few dsys. The juice of from five to 15 grapefruit is given daily in portions eyery four hours or oftener. In be tween the juice potions, not with them, sodium bicarbonate (preferably Squibbs) is given thusly—a teas poonful in a glass of water, then a quarter teaspoonful every four hours or oftener until symptoms are practi cally gone. For an obstinate cough, guaiacoi carbonate in one grain doses is helpful though not essential. The anchors are grapefruit juice and and no case of influenza in ft resistant individual will fatally if used as advised, juice and lemon juice may V ; % be used instead of grapefruit, but are not so satisfactory. Orange Juice U sweet and tends to disturb the vic tim's digestion, lemon juice is too sour to* be used in quantity. The bit ter principle of grapefruit not only tends to tone the flagging system but seems to have a specific influence upon the disease while the semitartness of the juice is grateful to fevered tis sues. Grapefruit juice alone will achieve results, but the soda hastens alkalinity. Citrus fruits taste acid; but citric acid makes the system alka line. Grapefruit juice and soda will usually cure an ordinary cold in from 36 to 48 hours, relieve bronchitis, of ten prevent or mitigrate pneumonia. In acid stomach, grapefruit juice is a specific while in diabetes or other dis eases where acidosis is present it is always indicated. In influenza, calomel or other vio lent purgatives should never be given or taken. Influenza destroys the coa gulating power of the blood and tends to produce hemorrhage from lungs, bowels, nose, throat, ears or stomach. Calomel and its kin encourage hemor rhage. They are deadly. Grapefruit juice and water will attend to all the elimination necessaiy in a fasting pa tient. 1 * 1 William A. MacKenzie, M. D. Leesburg, FlaT This Week y Arthur BrubaiM TO LIVE LONG, EAT UTILE. A SMALL PIECE OF UNO. NO PEACE PRIZE. TWO COOLIDGE VIRTUES. Reasonable expectation of life is now limited to tifty-five years for the average. Formerly, when open sewers 'ran through streets, with v graveyards on hillsides draining into wells below, life averaged less than twenty years. Science says we already have sufficient medical knowledge to make life’s expecta tion twelve years longer, but wc don't use what wc know. The big problem is extending life for men and women past fifty. Barring cancer and other troubles, not understood, prolonging life is not complicated. Eat, sleep, exer cise and breath properly and living to ninety will not be difficult. Fat ing is especially important. Wc arc what wc cat. / Luigi Cornaro proved it when, at' forty years of age, doctors told him ‘his case was hopeless. He cut his diet to twelve ounces of solid food, with fifteen Ounces of light wine per day. wryte an in teresting book when pa>t ninety, lived past one huncjrcd and wrote to the Archbishop of Venice: “I mount my horse without difficulty and had to live past ninety to real ize that the world is beautiful.” He made his wife live as he lived, and she passed one hundred. F'rancis Bacon supplies interesting details of Cornaro’s life, as do other an cient writers. , Real estate dealers, old and young,, paste in your hats. One-hundred years ago a small piece of land, part of the old Botan ical Gardens in. New York, was bought for $4,807.36. The land, three blocks, is on Fifth avenue. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has just aecured that piece of property for $100,000,000, an increase to make a good single taxer shudder. Mr. Rockefeller will use- part df the property for a- new Opera House, to be built in a fashion to allow students and others that have musical talent, but no diamond necklaces, to see and hear. The money goes to Columbia College, which now owns the land. That probably reconciles Mr Rockefeller to so large an invest ment. - He inherits from his father, who gave tens of millions to. the Uni versity of Chicago, an interest in educational enterprises. ^ ANCIENT WEATHER LEAVES ITS MARK Texas Fossils Prove to Be Marks of Drizzle. Washington. — Recent discoveries made In the famous Red Beds of Texas, of the PermJnn age, have proved that the markings described by earlier Investigators as trails of many-legged worms, rife In reality weather mack Ings, or examples of “fossil weather.” The proof of this statement lies In a small slab of shale which shows nu merous parallel markings, large arid small, In such abundance that they could not have been made by animals. The designation of the markings as “drizzle runs” Indicates the vveathei conditions in what Is now Texas, in that far-off time. Formed on Mud Flats. The “chevron” formation of the markings Is due to the accumulation of flue mud In a slow run-off on a mud flat, with a gentle slope. Some slight obstruction, such as a grain of sand or a bit of plant material or a hard piece of mud, was enough to start the formation of a slight ridge along which the markings continue. On another slab of red shale are to be seen circular marks where a plant leaf or a piece of grass made circular scratches in the soft mud millions of years ago. One can almost see the sunshine following the shower after which an animal, unknown to science, walked past the wind-moved plant. Disprove Raindrop Fossils, Geologists have for many years re garded as fossil raindrops any group of circular or oval-shaped depressions, and the standard textbooks figure such markings. Recent experiments In the University of Wisconsin, sup plemented by observations of shale slobs from the Texas Red Beds and on the soft mud and sand along the Pa cific coast, prove clearly that many of the uo-colled raindrop Impressions are due to air bubbles. Markings made in recent mud are exactly like those seen In the ancient red shales. The Influence of the proportions of sunshine and cloudine'fcs. In ancient geological time, upon the rapidity of growth of Individuals and upon the rapid expansion of groups of ancient animals and plants is now attracting the aitentlon of students of fossil life. An attempt Is being made to Inter pret, from conditions seen In ancient rocks, the stale of the weather at n time when earth conditions were quite different from what they are now. It Is expected that previously unrecog nized bits of sunshine will soon be seen In the rocks of the old Paleozoic. a^EinrgLU iairra CAioLDtA mil persons indebted to said estate will make prompt payment to the said Attorneys. • R.

Legal Advertisements AUDITOR’S NOTICE. An association organized in hon or of Woodrow Wilson held its an nual dinner, but didn’t give a peace prize to anybody. Secretary Kel logg certainly worked hard enough to deserve a prize. President Coolid^e deserves two prizes, for continuing to mind his own business, and for minding the business of the United States, leav ing Europeans to mind theirs. Perhaps the Woodrow Wijson committee don’t like to honor any Republican, like the colored lady whose apartment was invaded by a burglar, while a Bryan parade ws passing. Asked why she didn’t scream, she put her -head out of the window and replied, “I didn’t want folks to think 1 was hollering for Bryan.” ADVERTISE IN The People- Sentinel.
