(Le Journal amusant, Paris, 1929) (French stereotypes are alive and well here.)
The flu is waning … beware!
The work of the anti-drip on the nose warns you against the gallants suffering from coryza.
The flu germs are transmitted by the mouth. Detestable, these supplies of mouth.
Always carry a vaporizer to clean your larynx and nasal passages.
Avoid people who sputter. Use a protective screen.
If you must sleep with someone who has the flu, demand that he wear a protective mask.
Hot drinks, strongly alcoholic, are recommended. A good meal is a sovereign remedy.
Put a good hot water bottle in your bed. Keep your stomach warm.
Fight against the nervous breakdown which follows a flu attack through gymnastic exercises broken by long rests.
