But when I came downstairs he was dressed, sitting by the fire, looking a very sick and miserable boy of nine years. When I put my hand on his forehead I knew he had a fever.
“You go up to bed,” I said, “you're sick.” “I'm all right,” he said.
When the doctor came he took the boy's temperature. “What is it?” I asked him.
“One hundred and two.”
Downstairs, the doctor left three different medicines in different colored capsules with instructions for giving them. One was to bring down the fever, another a purgative, the third to overcome an acid condition. The germs of influenza can only exist in an acid condition, he explained . He seemed to know all about influenza and said there was noth­ ing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hun ­ dred and four degrees. This was a light epidemic of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia.
Back in the room I wrote the boy's tem perature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules.
“Do you want me to read to you?”
“All right, if you w ant to,” said the boy. His face was very white and there were dark areas under his eyes. He lay still in the bed and seemed very detached from what was go­ ing on.
I read aloud from Howard Pyle's3 Book of Pirates, but I could see he was not following what I was reading.
“How do you feel, Schatz?” I asked him.
2 102 °F (Fahrenheit) correspond to 38.9 °C (Centigrade). The Fahren­ heit thermometer is used throughout the British Commonwealth and in the United States. The boiling point of the Fahrenheit thermometer is 212", the freezing point — 32°, the normal temperature of a human body is about 99°. The Centigrade thermometer, used in Russia, France and other countries, has 0° (zero) for its freezing point and 100° for the boiling point.
