Peecksen. —I think I am taking the flu, the two girls in the office have been sneezing and sniffing for 3 days. I began to hurt early this morning. My eyes are flooding with tears, yet I am not crying about anything. My nostrils are swollen and very stuffy. My head aches on two sides and in the middle. All the breakfast I ate this morning tasted like epsom salts. My big toes on both feet are hurting but I have no corns. My back feels like it’s broke in 4 places. —I don’t love nobody and I am sure nobody loves me. My mouth is dry and my throat has begun to clog up. My ears are roaring like a conk-shell and my fingers are stiff. My chest pains me where my heart is located, and I feel like a last rose of summer. Spots of all colors are perambulating in front of my peepers and the room is going around. The doors look like they are coming to meet me and the telephone sounds like everybody’s mad. —I have tried to avoid the flu. I have drunk fluids, not the intoxicat ing kind, however; I have eaten-bi carbonate of soda: I have used a pint of nose drops; I have gargled until I became dizzy; I have eaten very little meat; I have drunk hot water before meals and cold water between meals; I have taken quinine tablets; AND SEE HOW MUCH MORE YOU GET! lOO-HORSEPOWER 6-CYLINDER ECONO-MASTER ENGINE • 110- INCH WHEELBASE ■ BIGGER, ROOMIER FISHER BODY • NEW INTERIOR LUXURY ■ 4 COIL SPRING RHYTHMIC RIDE - FAMOUS OLDS QUALITY THROUGHOUT!

About an good plan as any is to try your level best to catch it at the first opportun ity, and then hope and pray that you’ll get well and not “accept” it again. I wish the health-hunters and disease preventers would get busy on trying to discover a preventive for colds and flu. and let up a while on t. b. and cancer. While 90 per cent of the people are suffering with the former, only 3 per cent of the others are lingering along with the latter. In other words, let’s link colds and flu up with cancer and Christmas seals and, if necessary, start new drives to hunt down tie germs that cause all 4 of these terrible things.
