ADVICE ON CARE OF INFLUENZA PATIENTS:

Practical Suggestions by Surgeon General:
Surgeon General Rupert Blur of the United States Public Health Service in a statement issued @ Washington, says that suffers from influenza should get along if possible with home nursing because of the shortage of phycisians and nurses. He outlines what should be done as follows:
" The present generation has been spoiled by having had expert medical and nursing care readily available. It was not so in the days of our grandmothers, when every good housewife was expected to know a good deal about the care of the sick. Every person who appears to feel sick and appears to be developing an attack of influenza should at once be put to bed in a well ventalated room. The room should be clean of all unnecessary furniture and rugs. Most of the patients coughing up considerable mucus, in some there is much mucus discharged from the nose and throat.If the patient is feverish a doctor should be called and this done in any case if the patient appears very sick. coughs up pinkish color stained spitum or breathes rapidly and painfully. The patient will not be hungry and the diet should therefore be light. Milk, a soft boiled egg, toast crackers with a bit of jelly or just stewed fruit or cereal like oatmeal... ............"
