in the head, eyes, ears, back or other'
parts of the body and a feeling of se
vere sickness. 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.
