SAYS HORSES SPREAD GRIP
Inst Winters Epidemic Discussed by
Cstc1go Physiclnn at Medical
AsSOclutiOn Meeting.

The epidemic OF grip which swept
over the country last winter probably
was transmitted from horses to men.
This statement was made by DR.. Joseph
a. Capps. OF Chicago. before the seo-
ton on practice OF medicine of the
American Medical Association at De-
troit, Mich, recently.
This epidemic. which spared neither
the city nor the rural population. was
quite different from ordinary winter
colds. and. according to all accounts,
was identical with tho great grip
cpid9mic OF 1890. While tho influenza
bucillus was present in many cases.
other germs were also found. Tho oc-
currcnce OF an extensive epidemic
among horses. thought to he caused by
the same germs, gives rise TO tho
theory that these epidemics OF grip
originate with horses and arc com
municated by them to human bcinEs
Further investigation along these lines
promises To reveal the secret OF this
disease and to show the means of
its control and observation-disclosures
