No reasonable precaution to avert an attack of influenza should be spared. The disease itself often proves fatal and its after effects among those who are spared, make the life of the victim one of almost constant miserY- Ask almost any of those who have been attacked by this trouble What their present condition of health is and most of them will answer: “Since I had the influenza I have never been fully wail." This trouble leaves be- hind it a persistent weakness of the limbs, shortness of breath, bad diges- tion, palpitation of the heart and a tired feeling after even slight exer- tion. This is due to the thinâ€"blooded condition in which the patient is left after the fever and influenza have subsided. This condition will continue until the blood is build: up again, and for buflding up the blood and strength- ening the nerves nothing can equal a iair treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The value of this medicine in cases of this kind is shown by the statement of Mr. Edward J McGuire, Pembnoke. Ont, who sayszâ€"“in the fall of 1918 I was attacked with the in- fluenzaâ€"and not in a mild form either. I was confined to my room for three weeks, and although the influenza sub- sided I did not regain my health. As a matter of fact I seemed to he grow- ing weaker. I had no appetite, was subject to fainting spells and my feet and ankles were badly swollen. The doctor told me that my condition had developed into a serious case of 'waemia, and although I was under his care for over two months I was not improving in any way. At this stage one of my friends advised me to try Dr. Wililtiams’ Pink Pills. I was 10th 'to do so, as I began to think my case hopeless. However, I was finally per- suaded to try them, and by the time I [had used two bottles the-re was no doubt they were helping me. I con- tinued taking the pills until I had used a. dozen boxes, when I found that Every symptom of the trouble had left me and I was again enjoying the best of health. I returned to my work and have ever since been in good health and feel that I owe it entirely to Dr. Winiams’ Pink Pills. I think that any- one who is suffering from the after effects of influenza, or any form of anaemda should give this medicine a fair trial.” Hundreds of little Islands, ranged round in a. circle, with narrow and shallow channels between, form atolls, m- rlng‘s, having quiet water within.

Few of them rise more than seven or eight feet above the sea level, although they contain cocoanut palms and other vegetation. The After Effects Often More Serious Than the Disease Itself. GENERAL DEBILITY FOLLOWS INFLUENZA Those who are much at the looking- ass look like being failures. and the: worst is yet to come Weeks later King came out of the Hermitage a. changed man. His pride and reserve were broken! Within a month after he had recovered he Almost from the start King was de lirlous‘. All that the doctor could learn from him was that he was virtually penmiless and had no relatives who could come to nurse him. The students raised a small sum of money and hired a man in town to care for him, but King was a troublesome patient, and the man refused to stay. In the end three of King’s classmatesâ€"Loveland, Gray and Herrickâ€"took upon them- selves to “see him through”â€"no light task, for the fever was one that lasts long. Dallas King, a cynical, irreliglous unsoclable student who roomed alone in a tiny octagonal building far from the college dormitories, was suddenly taken 111. When a doctor reached the little house, which the students had nicknamed the Hermitage, the poor boy was too ill to be moved to more fitting quarters. To be most effective as a place for educating the young, the schoolâ€"house must be up-toâ€"date in equipment, and its site, ventilation, lighting and sani- tary conditions must be first-class in every respect. Too much atention can- not be given these necessary features of the school and its surroundings, and the supply of drrinking water for the pupils must be adequate and pure. The water should be periodically ex- amined both chemically and bacteriol- ogical'ly, and should be inspected as to the location, and protection afforded to the well or pump from which the drinking water is obtained. The com- mon drinking cu-p should be abolished. A sense of humor is one of the greatest aids to a happy life, and without it our daily existence would often be drab and dull. Whatever vo- cation we follow there are plenty of ludicrous conditions confronting us that must provide amusementâ€"if alas, there were not so serious consequences often connected with them. Is there a man or woman in this province who does not believe in pure, clean water for drinking purposes? Is there a better place than the rural school for teaching the young the value of pure water, from the standpoint of good health and normal development? One would think not, and yet there is much to be done in this line in some of the schools in the province. It must be admitted that such instances as the following are the exception rather than the rule: The Medical 0f- ficer of Health of a certain munici- pality in Haldimand County, in his most recent report of a school in that district says: “The school well is filthy, and contains stagnant water and dead animals. I would recommend that the dead animals floating on the water be buried away from the school ground.” This is the official report, but it does not go into details as to the nature or The hub of country life for the boys and girls is the rural schoolâ€"â€" “the little red school house," we often read about in the newspapers. AS far as the more youthful members of each family are concerned the demand to have the school house abolished would be practically unanimous, but as the children grow older they soon begin to appreciate its Worth.

BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON HEALTH EDUCATION One night during my sickness I came out of a. daze and saw Herrick standing over my bed. At another similar moment I saW Loveland; and once Gray lifted me so gently and ten- derly that I was reminded of my mother. I cried there in the dark for an hour and hardly knew why I did it. By degrees I became aware that these fellows were doing me a big service, and I began to wonder why. Once I- asde Gray, but he turned the ques- tion off with a laugh and said he knew I'd do the same for him it he were ill. He didn’t say a. word about religion, but I'd’heard of the golden rule, and, though I’d ridiculed Christians for talking about it, I saw that Gray and Loveland and Herrick were obeying it. spoken to me about religion before my illness, and I had answered them roughly. Apparently they had forgotâ€" ten my words when they offered to care for me when I was sick. I knew~ that I wouldn’t have done what they were doing, and to me that meant that 3 they had some quality that I lacked. I knew what it was, and I kept feeling more and more that it was wurth hav- ing. Gray's gentleness the night he lifted me went as deep as the heart. and it was that which influenced me more than all the arguments for re-| ligion I’d ever heard.

Here at college Loveland, Gray and Herrick are the only stu- dents Who ever tried it, and they can tell you what I said in reply. The school-room should be properly ventilated, and a good plan is to allow the children a recess every hour so that, especially in cold weather, the windows may be fully opened and cross ventilation brought about. In summer time the windows and door should be kept open as much as pos- sible, and to prevent draughts the lower edge of the window should be four feet from the floor. To preserve rigid cleanliness of the closets and wash places special attention is neces- sary. Reports from Medical Officers of Health indicate that this very necessary feature of school sanitation is sadly neglected in many sections, but conditions are gradually improv- ing all over the province. made a public profession of Christ. The few who had known him as a caustietongued unbeliever were as- tonished at his change of front. As regards lighting of the school rooms, the windows should have from one-sixth to one-fourth as much glass surface as floor surface. That is to say, in a schoolâ€"room thirty-two feet long and twenty-four feet wide, pro- vision should be made for from one hundred and twenty-eight to one hundred and ninety-two square feet of glass. In every instance the win- dows should face east and west so as to get as much air and sunlight as possible. In towns or cities where there are tall buildings in the im- mediate neighborhood, or in locations where mountain ranges or high hills raise the skyâ€"line on the window sides, it has been found necessary to have fully one-fourth as much window space as floor space.

Under- neath the written comment, however, one can trace a sense of humor which clearly shows the great necessity for a rigid inspection of the water supply for rural school's.
