Fatal Vagaries of Pnei^onia
;
[> Pneumonia is unusually prevalent
. 1 this winter, according to physicians,
i And these have noticed that it nas a
t tendercy to attack its victims in a
. very mild form ami then, when they 1
. seem to be out of danger, to return in
a fulminating way and carry the suf>'
ferer off in a few hours. For this 1
? | reason they are impressing on their
. patients the imperative necessity of
. taking exceptional care of themselves j
until they have fully regained their j
> i strength.
51 Pneumonia is an invasion of the
y J body by bacilli which are almost al;
ways present in our mouths and
) I throats, doing no harm but waiting
. only for an opportunity to find a weak
spot in the natural defenses in our (
systems, invade the blood stream anc
play havoc in the lungs. Such opportunities
are found when the body
r' is weakened by exposure, excess or
j overwork.
Four types of pneumonia Willa
, are well recognized by the doctors,
and the severity of the attack varies
with thn tvnp of cerm that makes it.
' If type 1 be the invader?as is com-1
monly the case this season?the at-^
tack is generally light and the recove
_ I ry rapid. But these mild bacilli seem
- to have a subtle power, when van
p I quished by the serum that has been
. | injected to aid the defensive corpuscles
of tHb blood in combating them,
j; of digging themselves in, lying ap]
patently dormant, and then, when susj!
picion has been lulled, of sallying
j forth transformed into one of the
. i more virulent types and making an
x! onslaught that puts the defending cor?
| puscles?already weakened by their
previous battle?to utter rout. This
?(accounts for the many sudden deaths
?. of pneumonia patients who seemed to
I be well on the ropd to recovery,
j I Besides, say the physicians, a very
t light case of pneumonia does not conj
j fer immunity, as does a severe one,
t but leaves the victim peculiarly susceptible
to another and perhaps fatal
} attack.?N. Y. World.

Automobile Industry Practicing
Vormalcv
f
* 1 I
y Industries as a rule require many
years of development before they are
t, permanent. There are the experi- j
Iments and the setbacks and the con- '
j stant plugging toward a definite ideal.
' j Few industries spring to an enormous
'' size in the course of a decade and become
reckoning foctors in the business
world. There are a few excep
j tions?the outstanding one being the i
automobile industry. This industry
stands in the front rank as one of the
5' worldfc greatest, although the automobile
was invented only a little more
than twenty years ago.
' i During this score of years by prac,
| tical use, the automobile has forced
itself iyto the list of absolute necessities.
It serves a purpose in daily ,
,: life that nothing else can serve quite
as well. It is the accepted means of <
transportation and without it the
; world's program of business as it is
enacted from day to day would be de- f
.. moralized. This medium of trans.
portation has no substitute. It is ac,
cepted as the practical method in all
i walks of life, social, commercial and
I otherwise.
The automobile industry is planning
a sensible year of expansion, despite
? the rumors of depression, which have
j been put in circulation, and if other in
dustries will adopt a similiar slogan
?"Business as usual"?the commer- |
cial veins of th5s nation will feel new
lifh and be accelerated to the point
of normalcy by the stimulation of 1
j trade.
I In this respect the manufacturers
and dealers are displaying foresight
j and & keen sense of business anlysis.
? The country needs more business men
of this kind who are not afraid to pin
j their faith to the established laws of
supply and edmand, and by the adoption
of such a policy satisfactory results
are bound to come.. The fundamental
principles of business insure
i the venture, if it can be referred to
r as that. The public, by supporting
I industries that are operated on a basis
of optimism, wyll take a long step tot
ward reaching the only reasonable
solution to the problem which is now
* threatening to reach out and demor
alize the very phases of business that
should remain staple and undisturbed.
