The pneumonia, in which the elusive virusr is involved, is called atypical or irregular, because it differs in pattern from other types of pneumonia. In ^Afcfer pneumonia, for example, the condition is caused by the invasion of bacteria into the lung and develops suddenly a: dramatically. But virus pnei rtionia begins insidiously in the person who has had a simple cold for four to ftve days. Such symptoms as nasal congestion, mild sore throat and general debility, which have not been considered severe enough to keep ^be patient in bed, will be followed with a generalized sensation of chilliness, a low-grade fever and a severe distressing headache. In addition there is a marked loss of appetite, and, within a few days, a dry, hacking cough develops. The cough is often worse at night and is particularly disturbing because it interferes with the patient's ggfeep and aggravates <the persistent headache. Fever usually varies from 100 to 103 degrees. The cough remains dry and tight for several days and finally a thin, watery sputum, which may be streaked with blood, is produced. Virus pneumonia appears to be . self limited, running a course of from ten days to two weeks, but convalescence is accompanied by or weeks of continued poor appetite, marked loss of energy and extreme fatigue. At least seventeen different viruses may cause pneumonia and because of the elusive character of the virus, which is ultra- microscopic in size, the specific one responsible for the pneumonia is difficult to identify. By the time the virus Is recovered and identified, the pa- ^klent either has become Well or nas succumbed to the illness. This is the ' principal reason there is no specific treatment against a specific virus. A few of the newer antibiotics seem to limit so"ne virus infections but, generally, their use has been disappoint ng. They may be given for the purpose of protecting the patient from bacterial in- ^vasion and further complications. ™ A virus infection may be considered to be a systemic disease In that it may invade many organs, but manifests itself to a great degree in a single organ. F\>r example, it is not uncommon for a patient to have symptom* of inflammation in the liver, or lymph nodes, before virus pneumonia develops. And, because of this systemic sease characteristic, recovery 'is apt to be prolonged. Even after the inflammation has left the lung, and the temperature has returned to normal, fatigue and loss of appetite may persist for weeks or months. In patientj with known heart disease, or iii elderly patients, .this prolonged debility during the convalescent period places an added strain on the heart. There are no Known methods, vaccines or immunizing agents which prevent virus pneumonia. But if a cold persists, or if a cough becomes distressing with accompanying chills and fever, medical help should be sought immediately. While virus pneumonia does not carry . a high mortality rate, the morbidity rate is severe. Weeks and even months of lassitude may be expected. The best way to prevent virus pneumonia -from developing is for the victim of the common cold to stay in bed and get plenty of rest.

OBOE WJUMQfe OP ONCOMING TRAFFIC IF STALLING OCCTJHS A motorist's first, reaction, when stalling, or stopping on a highway |hou\d be i {p wjym oncoming traffic in both directions, according to Chas. M. Hayes, president of the .Chicago Motor club. An effective way to warn motorists, Hayes said, is to place signal flares several hundred feet ahead and behind a Stalled car. "Few safety devices command the attention' and respect of motorists as do these fiery, symbols of fmmlnent danger." he stated. The hazard caused by a car stalled on the road is dangerous at all tithes, but especially, during adverse weather conditions and .at night. Slipk pavement conditions prevalent during the winter months also increase the chance of a serious accident. Under these conditions of poor visibility or slippery roads, oncoming traffic should be given plenty of time to alow down while approaching a vehicle stopped on the road. If mechanical difficulties make it necessary to stop on a street or highway, pull . well off the pavement, if it is all possible. Even then Bignal flares will materially reduce the chance of in- Jury to persons working on the disabled vehicle, Hayes cautioned. In urging motorists to carry and use signal flares, Hayes pointed out that they are both inexpensive and easy to use. DR. HENRY FREUND OPTOMETRIST At 136 S.
