Influenza, commonly called
grip, is one of the oldest diseases
known. A disease which was
probably the grip was described
by Hippocrates Alp years before
the birth of Christ. Many great
outbreaks of the grip affecting a
large part of the known world
have since occurred. Four great
epidemics occurred in the seven
teenth century, ten in the eigh-
teenth century and four epide-
mics in the nineteenth century.
Its presence in America is usually
dated 1889 when the first great
epidemic for many years affected
us. Since that time few years
have passed without some cases
Of the disease.
The study of these outbreaks
has taught us a great deal. Like
all epidemics, the grip progresses
along routes of travel and no fast
er than human beings do. Large
commercial centers are first at
fected, scattered cases occurring
before the general outbreak takes
place. Next the small towns be-
come affected, and lastly the en-
tire country. The disease appears
on board ship only after they have
touched at affected ports. Insti-
tutions which are more or less cut
off from the community in which
they are located, like hospitals for
the insane, converts and prisons,
often escaped more or less.
