PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1941. INFLUENZA GOES AIDS LISTED Health Officials Are Keep ing War Eye on Trend 1918 Wave Recalled. By Alexander R. George (AP Feature Writer) Washington. Flu U on the march again. So health officials, mindful of the savage onslaught of the mysterious malady during the World war, are keeping a wary eye on the situation. The number of cases being re ported to the U. S. public health service Is running almost three times as high as it was a year ago when the winter wave devel oped Into the most extensive epidemic since 1928. Warning Given If the influenza curve should rise at the rate it did last winter when a peak of 383,000 new cases for the four weeks ended January 25 was reached, the out break probably would be the largest since 1920. Earlier this year a few doctors and bacteriologists warned of the possibility of an epidemic similar in scope and severity to the great pandemic of 1918-1919. They said last winter's epidemic which traveled eastward might get a foothold among war-weakened European peoples and re turn In more virulent form to this country. Suggestions So far, however, there Is no Indication of anything hitting us comparable to the explosive World war outburst of the dis ease when between August, 1918, and June, 1919, there were an estimated 29,000,000 to 27, 000,000 cases and more than 500,000 deaths from influenza and pneumonia In this country. The public health service sug gests these precautions for home treatment of Influenza: 1. Call a doctor. 2. Go to bed Immediately. Stay there for several days after fever goes. Relapse is frequent and dangerous. !). I.lnilM riUt flr.t fn rfaoa soft food about the fourth day. Drink plenty of water. 4. Avoid cathartics; enemas are better than laxatives. 5. Use disposable tissues for nasal and bronchial secretions. 8. Excessive sweating Is dan gerous. A warm bath permis sible at onset to relieve back, head and limb pains, but a warm drink and warm bed are essential immediately afterward. Good nursing and rest In bed help stave off complications. Patients generally should be Isolated; old people especially need protection against all pos sible sources of infection.
