Facts.. Indicate That Inocculation
; Has Proved Beneficial in
' Many Cases
Issuing a- renewed appeal to city and

forcement of enti-influenxa measures,
State Health. Officer A. C fieely has ia-.
sued a bulletin calling Attention to me
danger of permtttlnrmblaEe of
people. Dr. Seely make the-following
deduction after analyzing the situation
Jn the state:
"Three days after an unusual gather
Jni of people there to an increase in the
number of ease reported. Thus, every
Tuesday la high because of Saturday
and Sunday minglings ; the 28th oi
December was high following Christ
mas; the Sd and 4th of January were
high following New Tear's festivities.
Therefore there should be no juimeces-
nary or unusual v
erings, dances - constitute the greatest
Slumber of cases. Dances therefore
should be prohibited during the epi
demic . - . - .
How Disease Is Carried
The Wares of the epidemic run In
about three-week intervals. A study of
the causes of this and the matter of
carriers indicate that many eases re
main carriers for a period of two or
three weens, xne greatest nujuuci .
ever cases during a wave are able to
l up and around in about three weeks
and are unconsciously spreading the
disease, causing the next wave. There
fere, in addition to the 10 days quar
antine, each recovered case should wear
B. tnask for a period of two or three
Weeks in the presence of unexposed per-
" sons, and all persons coming in close
contact with the sick should wear
.masks. Masks, to be effective, should
be, sufficiently large to completely cover
"the nose and mouth. They should have
at, least eight layers of gauze and should

Sterilising is easily accomplished by
dropping the mask in boiling water for
lO-ralnutea.
Sterilisation of Dishes
;.It has been discovered that the dis
ease is being spread to a greater extent
than has been realized by utensils used
in eating and drinking. Therefore all
jYtatiMt. Anna wlaMmati- 1rnivn xnH f nrka '
etc., used in eating or drinking in all
public places, and) in all private homes
or t public institutions wherever there
are cases of influenza, should be thor
oughly sterilized by boiling 15 minutes.
.The monmea quarantine, m addition
to. the mask provision and the steriliza
tion of utensils, consists of a strict iso
lation of the patient and attendants for
"a. period of 10 days following the re
sumption of normal temperature. Mem
bers of the household not in contact
with 'slelc are iiot quarantined". The

i i . Vaeeiaes Are i Discussed,
" "In regard, to Vaccines "While It Is
recognised as Impossible- torely abso
lutely upon the value of any vaccine or
other treatment not proved by controls,
still the data, herewith submitted . is
Worthy of consideration.
"The city and state laboratories have
dispensed sufficient vaccine Lloyd) for
about 500,000 inoculations. Probably a
considerable quantity of this was not
used, or it may have been kept too long ,
or too warm to be of much value .when
used. Report blanks upon which to
tabulate the results of the Inoculations
were mailed to about 800 physicians, but
only 94 have so far returned their sta
tistics thereon. The compiled data from
ku a rnnrtm fa h follows : Number
of . persons inoculated, 33,439. Of this
number, 816 are reported as having had
mild attacks of Influenza. 75 severe, and
thero'were 11 deaths. Of the 11 deaths,
one was sick when inoculated, five had
their onset within 12 hours of inocula
tion, one in 24 hours and one in 48
hours. Ko data accompanied the Other
three. The 94 reports also cover 4780 J
cases of inf tuerfz a in those not vac-;
cinated ; 3503 were mild, 1146 1 severe
and there were 136 deaths.
Physicians Give Views
Of the 94 . physicians, 46 comment
favorably on' the use of the vaccine,'
especially in preventing the graver com
plications some are quite enthusiastic
and 46 make no comment.
"The report from the Bremerton
Navy yard, using the- same vaccine,
is as follows r Number Inoculated,
4212; of this number,. 144 contracted
Influenza; 112 of whom the onset be
gan befor the inoculation was com
pleted. There were no deaths. There
were 8488 ' who were not vaccinated,
There occurred 1409 cases of influenza
In this group. 96 of whom died.
'This office has received numerous
letters from physicians throughout the
state expressing themselves -as con
vinced of the value of the vaccine and
asking that more be sent them, but
they say they have no time to fill out
the report. , If physicians would re
port their results promptly and clear
ly, considerable data would then be
available for determining the value of
the vaccine.
Severity of Cases lessened
"It is not held that the vaccine is
a positive prophylaxis against influenza,
though there is considerable evidence
pointing to its conferring a degree of
immunity, but what is ef more import
ance, is the apparent value in prevent
ing its extreme severity.
"The laboratory is supplying the vac
cine free to those who desire to use it.
Wei' only ask the return of the bottles
and , a report of the results obtained.
Ke-vaccination is advisable at inter
vals of from, four to six weeks."

the Winter In a large wigwam at Colum
bus, ' and an Indian child was born in
the' camp at the same time. The tribal
sweat-house custom followed by a
plunge in a cold stream, regarded by
the Indians as a sure cure for all ills,

enza patients, according to reports from
the - Yakima reservation.
