John says she seemed stunned at the time but kept on, the way most women did. She helped him fight the 'flu' all that winter without taking it her-self. But she was one of the first to come down with it when it returned this Spring. She got through the worst and there she stays. John says that if she doesn't begin to pick up soon there won't be enough of her left to bother about."
Corporal Simon Bogacheff states that he left Archangel December 8th or 9th with seventy-three other wounded men and "flu" victims. After fifteen days the "Stephen" landed at Dundee after a very rough voyage in the pitching old boat. He had to buy stuff on the side from the cooks as he could not bear the British rations. Men were obliged to steal raw potatoes and buy lard and fry them.
Nicholson, though suffering from "flu," stuck nobly to his work and looked after our comfort at the Stores. Just after 10 o'clock on the 7th, orders came from Brigade for a move on the following day forward, not further back, and once more our hopes of the promised rest were dashed.
The maid explained that all was ready. Jones the butler had been sent with a note to the City, and the housemaid was sitting with the kitchen-maid, who was recovering from the flu. "I told them I'd answer the bell. And I'll keep an eye that no one comes down before he's gone. There he is!" For the bell had rung, and the maid hastened to the hall door to answer it. A tall man entered coughing.
"Nothing but skilled medical aid would help him at this stage. He has the flu, and the fever is burning his life out." "The flu, did you say?" The young man with the long cigarette lost his bored air. "Hang it, it isn't very sporting, is it, to expose us these ladies to the infection? I'll say it isn't."
On Wednesday afternoon, which was a holiday, Miss Chadwick, Miss Carr, Miss Ormrod, and Miss Hampson mounted bicycles, and rode away with a party of seniors to Glenbury. The juniors, by special invitation from Mrs. Fleming, went to tea at the Vicarage. Two intermediates were in bed with a mild form of "flu", and the remainder amused themselves as they liked best.
These same teas can be used to help the body throw off a cold, flu, or other acute illness but they have a much more powerful effect on a fasting body than on one that is eating. Echinacea and chaparral are extraordinarily bitter and may be better accepted if ground up and encapsulated, or mixed with other teas with pleasant flavors such as peppermint or lemon grass.
"I've got to do something," he asserted. "There's nothing you can do," Dolly Ferrara said wistfully. "He can't be moved. You can't get a doctor or a nurse. The country's full of people down with the flu. There's only one chance and I've taken that. I wrote a message to Doctor Laidlaw you remember he used to come here every summer to fish and Uncle Peter went across to Sechelt to wire it.
"The Mainwarings might think it was their champagne or the early symptoms of 'flu or unrequited love. . . . And they are so very respectable aren't they? the Mainwarings, I mean?" Vane looked at her gravely. "Don't speak for a bit. I'll get you another glass of champagne. . . ." But Joan rose. "I don't want it," she said. "Take me somewhere where we can talk."
'I think we mustn't tell her, dear. I couldn't help it; I felt much I wanted to see you. I have been rather miserable. 'Why? she said, stroking his hand from wrist to fingertips with one soft finger. 'You mustn't be miserable. You and me have never done such a thing before; have we? Was it that wretched old Flu?
