Tho Remedy.
Discussing tho Inlluonzn epidemic
uml tho many so-called Intluonzn cures,
Dr. Ilornco Whitney Williams said In
a lecturo at tho University of Chicago:
"Isolation, warmth and perfect care
are tho only treatment. The so-called
cures remind uu of a story about a
grocer. To this grocer a patron
brought buck a pound of butter.
' 'I want to complain about this but
ter. It's awful.' tho patron said.
'Tho grocer sniffed It. 'Smells
sweet enough to me,' he observed.
"'Hut. It's full of hair.' said the
patron. 'I counted eight or nlno hairs
In It. Yes, sir, this butter's full of
hair, and I want to know what you're
going to do about It.
'"Why, mince It right, of course,'
said tho grocer genially, and hu
reached up and took a tiny packet
from n shelf. 'Ilerc. Hero's a packet
of hairpins. You can pin It back with
'em as you go along.'"
