Washington. In an effort to red wee
unnecessary calls on the over-worked
physicians throughout the country be
cause of the present -epidemic of In
fluents. Surgeon General Bias of the
United States public health service
calls upon the people of the country to
learn something about the horns cart
of patients 1U with laflueosa. Phy
slclans everywhere here complain!
about the large number of unnecessary
calls they hare had to make because
of the Inability t msny people to dis
tinguish between the cases requiring
expert medical car aad those which
could reedlly be cared for without a
physician. With Influensa continuing
to spread In many parts of the coun
try, and with an acute shortage of doc
tors and nurse everywhere, every un
necessary call on either physicians or
nurses makes It so much harder to
tnet-t the urgent needs of the patients
who are seriously ill.
Present Generation Spelled.
The present generation.' said the
surgeon general, "has been spoiled by
having had expert medical and nusslng
care readily available. It was not so
In the days of oar grandmothers, when
every good housewife was expected to
know a good deal about the care of the
sick.
"Every person who feels sick and
appears to be developing an attack
of Influenza should at once be pat to
bed in a well-ventilated roooa. If his
bowels have moved regularly. It Is not
necessary to give a physic; where a
physic is needed, a dose of castor oil
or Rochelie salts should be given.
The room should be cleared of all
unnecessary furniture, bric-a-brac, and
rugs. A wash basin, pitcher, and slop
bowl, soap and towel should be at
hand, preferably In the room or Just
outside the door.
"If the patient Is feverish a doctor
should be called, and this should be
done In any case if the patient appears
very sick, or coughs op pinkish (blood
stained) sputum, or breathes rapidly
and painfully.
"Most of the patients cough up con
siderable mucus ; in some, there Is
much mucus discharged from the nose
and throat. This material should not
be collected In handkerchiefs, bat
rather In bits of old rags, or toilet pa
per, or on paper napkins. As soon as
used, thee rags or papers should be
placed In a paper bag kept beside the
bed. Pocket handkerchiefs are oat of
place In the sick room and should not
be used by patients. The rags or pa
pers In the paper bag should be burned.
The patients will not be hungry,
and the diet should therefore be light,
MHk, a soft-boiled egg. some toast or
crackers, a bit of Jelly or jam, stewed
fruit, some cooked cereal like oatmeal,
hominy or rice these wtli sufflce In
most cases.
Comfort cf Patient.
The comfort of the patient depends
on a number of little things, and these
should not be overlooked. Among
these may be mentioned a well-ventilated
room; a thoroughly clean bed
with, fresh, smooth sheets and pillow
cases; quiet, so that refreshing sleep
may be had ; cool drinking water con
veniently placed; a cool compress to
the forehead if there is headache;
keeping the patient's hands and face
the forehead if there Is headache;
clean, and the hair combed; keeping
his mouth dean, preferably with, some
pleasant mouth wash; letting the pa
tient know that someone is within caS,
but not annoying him with too audi
fussing; giving the patient pleat of
opportunity to rest and sleep.
"It is advisable to give the sick room
a good airing several times a day.
"So much for the patient It It
equally Important to consider the per
son who Is caring for him. It U Im
portant to remember thai the disease
Is spread by breathing germ-laden mat
ter sprayed Into the air by the patient
la coughing or even In ordinary breatik
tag. The attendant should therefore
wear a gauze mask over her mouth
and nose while she Is la the sick room.
Such a mask Is easily made by folding
a piece of gauze four fold, tewtag
piece of tape at the four corners.
Observe Cleantiaeesw
The attendant should. If possible.
wear a washable gown or an apron
which ro vers the dress. This will moke
It much simpler to avoid infection.
-It is desirable that all attendants
learn how to use a fever thermometer.
This Is tot at all a diflcult matter, and
the use ef suck a thermometer Is a
great help La, caring for tie patients.
