In most of the cases the symptoms disappear after three or four days, the patient then rapidly recover ing. Some of the patients, however, i develop pneumonia, or inflammation of the ear, or meningitis, and many of these complicated cases die. Whether this so-called ‘Spanish’ influenza is Identical with the epidemics of Influen za of earlier years is not yet known. “Epidemics of influenza have visited this country since 1647. It is interest ing to know that this first epidemic was brought here from Valencia, Spain. Since that time there have been numerous epidemics of the dis ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic of influenza, starting somewhere in the Orient, spread first to Russia and thence over practically the entire civ ilized world. Three years later there was another flare-up of the disease. Both times the epidemic spread wide ly over the United States. “Although the present epidemic is called 'Spanish influenza,’ there is no reason to believe that it originated lu Spain. Some writers who have studied the question believe that the epidemic came from the Orient and they call at tention to the fact that the Germans mention the disease as occurring along the eastern front in the summer and fall of 1917.” How can “Spanish Influenza” bo rec- ognized? “There is as yet no certain way in which a single case of 'Spanish influ enza’ can be recognized. On the oth er hand, recognition is easy where | there Is a group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs ! and colds, which usually occur In the I cold months, epidemics of influenza | may occur at any season of the year. | Thus the present epidemic raged most Intensely in Europe In May, June and July. Moreover, in the cass of ordi nary colds, the general symptoms (fever, pain. depression) are by no means as severe or as sudden in their onset as they are In Influenza. Final ly, ordinary colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or | so extensively as does Influenza. “In most cases s person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather sud- denly. He feels weak, has pains In the eyes, ears, head or back, and may be | sore all over. Many pattents feel I dizzy, some vomit. Moet of the pa- tients complain of feeling chilly, end | with this comes a fever In which the | temperature rises to 100 to 104. In | | most cases the pulse remains relative- | ly slow. “In appearance one Is struck by the I fact that the patient looks sick. His | eyes and the inner side of his eyelids may be slightly 'bloodshot.' or con- gested,’ as the doctors say Thore may be running from the nose, or | ; there may be some cough. These signs | of a cold may not bo marked; never theless the patient looks and feels ver sick. ____ - I •In addition to the appearance an, the symptoms as already examination of the patient's blood may aid the physician In recognizing ish influenza, for # UM UMB due Shoe Repairing Belter than ever now that the machine is installed.
