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.
