EASTERN EUROPE PLAGUE SPOT Many Recorded Epidemics Shown to Have Emanated From That Area Disease Claims More Victims Than European War. New York. Accord ins to Dr. Simon Flexner, Director of Laboratories of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, further recurrences of the influenza epidemic eau be prevented only by wiping out the disease at its source. In a" recent address before the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons, later published by the Ameri can Medical Association, lie outlined the path of the disease through its different stages. "There are excellent reasons for re garding the endemic home of influenza to be Eastern Europe," he said, "and in particular the border regions between- Russia and Turkestan. Many recorded epidemics have been shown more or less clearly to emanate from that area, while the epidemics of re cent history have been traced there with a high degree of conclusiveness. From this Eastern home, at intervals of two or three decades, a migrating epidemic influenza begins, moving east ward and westward, with the greater velocity in the latter direction. Uncanny in Action. "To the casual observer there Is something uncanny in the way influ enza strikes down its victims. While other epidemics proceed from bud to worse, with at least progressive In creases in intensity, Influenza seems to overwhelm communities over even wid er stretches of territory as by a single, stupendous blow. While in the one case the gradually accelerating rate of sliced of extension may be taken to indicate personal conveyance of the provoking micro-organism, In the other the sudden wide onset appears the very negation of personal communica tion. "Hence the invoking of mysterious influences, the revival of the notion of miasm and similar agencies, to account for this phenomenon. Indeed, the pub lic mind in general lends itself readily to such formless concepts, for the rea son that there still resides in the mass of the people, even in the more en lightened countries, a large uneradi eatod residue of superstition regard ing disease. One does not need to look far or dig deep in order to uncover the source of this superstition. We have only recently emerged from a past in which knowledge of the origin of disease was scant, and such views as. were commonly held and exploited were mostly fallacious, It is, Indeed, very recently, if the transformation can be said to be perfect even now, that the medical profession as a whole has been completely emancipated. All this is very far from being a matter of remote importance only, since in the end the successful imposition of sanitary regulations involves wide co operation; and until the majority of in dividuals composing n community Is brought to a fair level of understand ing of and belief in the measures pro posed, serious and sustained endeavor to enforce them Is scarcely to be ex pected. . routing a Bugaboo. "And yet no better instance of a communicable disease could perhaps be invoked than influenza to exercise the false idea of the mysterious origin of epidemics. To dwell solely on the sud den and overwhelming stroke of the disease is wholly to overlook the significant incidents Hint precede the mass infection beennso (Iiov nre of matic quality. Accurate observer noted long ngo that irlltieimi In Its epidemic form did not constitute an exception to the common rate govern ing epidemic diseases, which were obviously nssociated with persons and their migrations. What the early stu dents made out by tracing the epi demic backward to Its point of depar ture, more modern observers have con- j tinned by carefully kept records, often graphically compiled, as In the excel lent instance f the Munich records; covering the epidemic of ISSD O'J, which' can now be sui.demented by a number of similarly constructed records of tile epidemic just passed. These detailed records show convincingly n period of invasion during which there Is n grad ual rise in the number of cases to culminate, within a period variously estimated at from one to three weeks, in a widespread, so-called 'explosive' outbreak of the disease. "It happens that the early cases of epidemic influenza tend not to be se vere, chiefly because they randy are attended by pneumonia nnd liem-c are frequently mistaken, and the confusion in diagnosis is resolved only when the full intensity of the epidi-.nic is real ized. In th'i meantime, rich oppor tunity lias been afforded for tin- free and unrestricted commingling of lite sick and the well, of doubtless heallhy carriers of the inciting agent and others, until so high a degree of dissemination of the provoking micro organism has been secured as in ex pose the entire susceptible clement of the population, which happens to be large, to an almost simultaneous re sponse to the effects of the infecting microbe. "Deductions of like import can be drawn from the geographic movements of Influenza epidemics. In Eastern Itussla and Turkestan, iiilluenza spreads with the pace of a caravan, in Europe and America with the speed of an express train, and in the world at large with the rapidity of an orenti liner; nnd if one project forward the outcome of the means of intercom- nre i 1 1 :oh-d d en' il-.-iy fl"!il I In v lie w i ' ! : i i I , cs of iipproai"li or SUGAR FOUND IN FIR TREES " V,PV 4 a:h-'t r "is i .mil, t.n him r -f i vi niiiuwf if -T ' :T sen 3 BO Discovery of the growth of sugar on Douglas flr trees in I'.ritish Columbia is announced In the American For estry Magazine.
