; . vera sickness. In most of the cas tho
.(Symptoms disappear after throe or four
; days, tho patient (lien rapidly recover
ing. Rome of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or Inflammation
of tho enr, or meningitis, and mitny of
these complicated enses die Whether
this so-called 'Spanish' influenza la
Identical with tho epidemics of Influcu
ra of earlier years Is not yet known.
"Epidemics of Influenza hnvo visited
this country since 1017. It Is Interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought hero from Valencia,
Spain. Klnco tlmt time there have
been numerous epidemics ot tho dis
ease. In J SW) and 1S0O an epidemic
of Influenia, starting somewhere to the
, Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the cutlro civ
lilted world. 'J'hreo years Inter there
was another Hare-tip of the disease.
Until times the cpldomic Bprcad wide-
ly over tho United States.
"Although the present epidemic Is
called 'Spanish Influenza,' there is no
reason to believe thut It originated In
Spain. Siniiic writers who lmvo studied
the question believe that the epidemic
como from tho Orient and they call nt
ten I Inn to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern frout In the summer and
full of 1017."
How esn "8psnlsh Influenza" be reo-
egnliedf
"There la as yet no certain way la
which a single case of 'Spanish Influ
enzn' can he recognized. On the oth
er hand, recognition Is easy where
there Is a group of esses. In contrast
to the outbreaks of nrillnsry coughs
and colds, which usually occur In the
cold months, epidemics of Influenza
: may occur nt any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic raged most
Inlainsi-ly In Kurope In May, June and
, July, Moreover, In the case of ordl
r psry colds, the general symptoms
Ifever, y i tiepn.s!ori)art by. no'
fjiouus nT severe or" us Budd.eii InHiclr
onset as they are In Influenza. ltnnl-
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extunslvely as does Influenza.
"In most cases a person tukcg sick
with Influenza feels sick rather sud
denly. Ho feels weak, has pains In tho
eyes, cars, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients fool
dizzy, soma vomit. Most of the pa
tients oompluln of feeling chilly, uid
with this comes a fever In which tho
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
In appearance one Is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyos and tho inner side of his eyelids
may he slightly 'bloodshot,' or 'con-
gosted,' as the doctors say. There
may bo running from tho nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
of a cold may not be marked ; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
ick.
"In addition to tho appearance and
tho symptoms as already doscrlhed,
examination of the patient's blood may
aid the physician In recognizing 'Span
ish Influenza.' for It bus been found
thnt In thlrWsens tho number 'of
white corpuscles shows little or no In
crease above tho normal. It Is nossl-
blesthat tho laboratory investigations
now being made through tho National
Itcsenrch Council and tho United
States Hygienic Laboratory will fur
nish a more certain way In which Indi
vidual cases of tills disease can bo
recognized."
Wht Is the course of the disease?
Do people die of it?
Ordinarily, tho fever lasts from
threo to four days and the patient re
covers, llut while tho proportion of
dtnths In tho present epidemic has
generally been low, In some places the
outbreak has been severe and deaths
have been numerous. When denth oc
curs It Is usually the result ot a complication."
What causes the disease and how Is
It spread?
"Bacteriologists who have studied In
fluenza epidemics In tho past hnvo
found In ninny of tho coses a very
snmll rod-shnped germ called, after Its
discoverer, 1'folflVr's bacillus. In other
cases of apparently the snmo kind of
disease thine were found pnomnnciK'cl,
tho germs of lobar pneumonia. Still
others have been caused by strepto
cocci, and by others germs with' long
nn mes.
".No matter what particular kind of
germ causes tho epidemic. It Is now
believed that tnlluenzu Is always
spread from person -to person, tho
germs being carried with the air along
with tho very snmll droplets of emeus,
expelled by coughing or sneezing,
forceful talking, and the like by ono
who already has the germs of tho dis
ease They may also be curried about
In tho air In tho form of dust coming
from dried mucus, from coughing nnd
sneezing, or from careless people who
spit on tho floor nnd on tho sidewalk.
As In most othor catching diseases, a
person who has only n mild nttnek of
the disease himself may give a very
sevcro attack to others."
Whst should be done by those who
catch the disease?
'Jt Is very Important thnt every per
son who becomes sick with Influenza j
should go homo nt onca and bo to bed. '
This will help keep away dangerous '
complications and will, nt the snmo I
time, keep the patient from scattering
tho disease far and wide. It Is highly ;
desirable that no one be allowed to !
sleep In tho same room with tho pa-1
tlent. In fact, no one but the nurse I
should be allowed In tho room. j
"If there Is cough and sputum or
running of the eyes and nose, cure
should ho taken that ull such dis
charges are collected on bits of gnuzo
QI rug or uuuec napkins, and. burned,
u,c ordinu7y fiouriu c-iutTic; while la ihfc
sick room and slip this off when leav
ing to look after tho others.
"Nurses nnd attendants will do well
to guard against breathing In danger
ous discuss germs by wearing a simple
fold of gauze or musk while near the
patient."
i Will a person who has had Influenza
before catch tht disease again?
"It Is well known that an attack of
measles or scarlet fever or smallpox
usually protects a person against an
other, attack of the same disease. This
appears nut to be true of 'Spanish In
. fluciizu.' According to newspaper re
ports the King of Spain suffered an
at Hick of influenza during the opt
.leinle thirty years ago, and was again
stricken during the recent outbreak in
Spain."
How can one guard against influ
enza? . '
"In guarding against disease of all
kinds, It Is Important that the body be
kept strong and able to light off dis
ease germs. This can be done by hav
ing a proper proportion of work, pluy
and rest, by keeping the body well
clothed, and by eating sufficient whole
some and properly selected food. In
connection with diet, It Is well to re
member that milk Is one of the best
nll-uround foodB obtainable for adults
as well as children. So far as a dis
ease like Influenza Is concerned, health
authorities everywhere recognize the
very close rotation between Its spread
and overcrowded homes. While it Is
not always possible, especially la
times Ilka the present, to avoid such
overcrowding, people should consider
tho heulth : danger and make every
effort to reduce the home overcrowd
ing to a minimum. The value of fresh
air through open windows cannot be
over -emphasized. :
"When crowding Is unavoidable, as
in street cars, care should be taken to
keep the face so turned as not to In
hale directly the air breathed but by
another person,
, "It Is especially Important to be
ware, of the person who coughs or
sneezes without covering his mouth
and nose. It also follows that one
should keep out of crowds nnd stuffy
places as much (is possible, keep
homes, offices and workshops well air
ed, spend some time out of doors each
day, walk to work If at all practicable
In short, make every possible effort
to breathe as much pure air as pos
sible. "In all health matters follow the ad
vice of your doctor and obey the regu
lations of your locul and state health
officers."
"Cover up each cough and sneeze,
If you dont you'll spread disease."
