CZECHS HAVE ENTERED PRAGUE i Capitnl of Hoheniia Now in the I Hands of Rightful Inhabitants. ! A despatch from Copenhx\gen says: 1 â€" The Czechs ai-e masters of Pnvgl'.e, according to a Berlin despatch to The ' Bca-lingske Tidende. Czech money b I in circulation and the {'zech flag I -wave:, over Ilradschin Castle. } Prague ia the Capit:il of Bohemia, : which recently was reportetl to have '• de-.-lared its in<lepcndence of the Austro Hungarian Monarchy, and where a general .-ttrike was said to have developed into a great revolution. Influcn/.a, which is now sweeping ; over Canada from one end to the | other, is a very old disease. It was. known in ancient times, and a.< early â-  as 1510 it over-ran the whole civi- ' lize<l world. For centuries it ha.s periodically swept over various parti of the world. The last great world , epidemic was in 1889-1890 when it wan generally known by the French ' name of la grippe. The disease has always travelled from east to west. , The symptoms are similar to those , of a heavy cold: more or less severe , headache, cold in the head and throat, , flts of tneeiing. flushed face, chills,' aches and pains in the back and limbs, | pains in the eye-balls and behind the' eyes, general physical depression and ; temperature rising to betv/es:'. 101 and 104 degrees. ^ ^ i As it is such an old disease, doctors i have naturally learned a great deal about its prevention' and treatment. The first principle of prevention is to keep away from those infected, and the Recond, to build up the germ-re- sisting parts of the body by eating nourishing foods, dressing comfort- ably, gevting lots of sleep, and by liv- ing in the open air and in bright, well-ventilated rooms as much as possible. The mouth, throat and nose , should be systematically and fre- quently disinfected by antiseptic in- l.alations, sprays and washes. Such, preparations as chloretone and lister- , ine are well adapted for this purpose. â-  In fighting previous epidemics, doc- tors found quinine a useful preven- tive. One grain of sulphate of qui- â-  nine mixed with (but not dissolved in) a wineglassful of cold water makes an excellent antiseptic gargle. The anti-microbic properties of quin- ine are well known and its use as des- cribed above at once relieves the sjTnptoms of sore throat, which re- sult from the strain of the fight be- : twecn the white blood corpuscles and ; the invading germs in the tonsils â€" ' the body's first line of defence. Quinine is also given internally with success as a preventive. In one of the moi'c recent outbreaks in Kurope, an experiment was tried in which the men of one squadron of a regiment of cavalry were each given 7 'i grains â-  of quinine in ^j ounce of whiskey ; daily for 22 d.-iys, whilst those of the- other squadron were given none. The j latter squadrons had from 22 to 44 , cases each of influenza, whilst the 1 squadron treated with quinine de- â-  veloped only 4 cases. Inhalations ofi oil of eucalyptui!, thymol, oil of moun- tain pine and the like are also v«!u. able as preventives. When a person is struck by influ- oii:-;a, only one tours.? lies o|»«n. That" is to take to bed with the least pos- sible delay, and call a doctor. Rest, warmth and quier ar" three sovereign lemedios of the primary disease, and the best preventive of its more deadly complications, of which pneumonia is the most frequent. While there is no ipecifie for influenza, yet there are rr.any drugs which play a useful part â- n relieving it, such p.s quinine, aspirin and various tonics, anti-neuralgic, antiseptic and heart medicines, to be r rsacribed by the physician in charge. The dietetic rules v hich apply to any fever apply equally to influenza. Liqi.id foods at first, solid.* a little later on in a gradually ascending scale from lightly boiled fresh eggs to chicken, roast joints, etc. Water, cold or hot. may be sipped or "egg v.-ater" may be given. This excellent dish is prepared by blending with a pint of cold water, the whipped v.hites of from 2 to 4 eggs, flavored vith salt or cinnamon. Then the ani- mal broths may be given. There are many cases in which even the lightest foods are spurned with loathing, and c( inriion sense must be used in adapt- utti diet to the particular case in band. Precautions Against Influenza. (i.) The sick should be separated frorn the healthy. This is especially impuitant in the case of first attacks iu the household. (2.) Discharges from the nose and mouth should not be allowed to get dry on a pocket handkerchief or in- side the house, office or factory. They should at once be collected in paper cr clean rags and burned. If this cannot be done, they should be drop- ped into a vessel cont^iining water. (3.) Infect-jd articles and rooms i'boul.l be cleansed and disinfected. Use disinfectants everywhere. Wash the hands frequently. (4.) Those attacked should not. on any account, minjrle with other peo- ple for at least a period of ten days from the commencement of the at- tack. In severe ca?e-t. they sho'ild remain away from work for a longer peri Oil. ( 5. ) Special attention should be given to deanVr.ess and ventiliition. Warm clothing should be worn, the feet should be kent dry and all un- necessary exposure avoided.
