Pneumonia

Ten per cent of the deaths in
the United States result from
pneumonia. 1t is estimated that
during the past thirty days this
rate has been doubled in some
sections. tuberculosis and heart
disease, each causing one-ninth of
all fatalities, are the only diseases
which outrank pneumonia among
the legion of the men of death,
but in certain cities pneumonia is
steadily increasing and even has
surpassed the mortality from tu-
berculosis. Seventy per cent of
all cases occur between December
and May. 1t is distinctly cold
weather infection, seemingly
brought by wintry blasts, but es-
pecially prevalent during the
winter season only because its
victims are rendered more sus-
ceptible at that time by exposure

data are not yet complete. There
are problems connected with I'M
munity, predisposition, and the
occurrence of epidemics which are
yet to be solved. 1t is known
that pneumonia frequently at
tacks those who are perfectly
well, and who apparently have
observed every hygienic rule.
Whether this is due to the in
creased virulence of the organ
ism or to other causes is unex-
planned. 1t is, however, recog-
nized that avoidance of the fac
tors so briefly enumerated will in
large part diminish individual

facilitating influences and the
presence of predisposing infec-
lions.
Pneumonia principally affects
those at the extremes of life, but
no age is exempt. 1t is invaria-
bly, a germ disease. The predis-
posing and exciting organisms
are so numerous that it would be
futile to attempt their enumera-
ton. Many of them are con-
stantly present in the mouths and
threats of healthy persons and it
is only through the aid which we
unwittingly extend to them that
they are transformed from harm
less organisms to one of man s
most powerful enemies.
The presence of other diseases
is the great predisposing cause of
pneumonia. They prepare the
soil for invasion. Holding first
rank in this category is influenza,
the increased incidence of pneu-
monia at this time being largely
due to the present epidemic of la
grippe. Individuals sufferingfrom
this infection are peculiarly sus-
ceptible to respiratory complica-
tons and should properly observe
every hygenic rule. Infamma-
ton OF the upper air passages,
pnaryngitis, bronchitis, and ton
sillitis, often pre-dispose to the
development of the disease, par
ticularly among the aged and in
firm. The acute contagious dis
eases of childhood, more espec-
tally measles and whooping cough
frequently prepare the way for
pneumonia. Anyone who through
neglect or carelessness permits
the spread of these infections is
therefore open to the severest
condemnation. Exhausting dis
ease of Whatever nature, is often
sufficient to so reduce our resis-
tence that we are unable to cope
with organisms which should be
easily overcome, and hence pre-
dispOses to the infection.
Debility, either temporary or
chronic, developing from any
lcause, increases susceptibility.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1916-02-10

Because of this the disease most
often attacks those at the ex-
tremes of life. Among debilitat-
ing influences must be mentioned
cold, exposure to penetrating
winds, and the chilling Of body
surfaces as a result OF wetting.
The combination of lack of food
and fatigue proves particularly
disastrous during the winter sea-
son and is condition to be avoid
ed whenever possible. Bad hous-
ing, mental or physical harass-
ment, and overwork are alike the
advance agents of the infection.
Overcrowding, in street cars,
theatres, and other public places,
is unquestionably in part respon-
sible for the spread of pneumonia
in cities, as far greater opportun-
ity is thus offered for the dissem-
nation of the predisposing dis

coughing and other means OF
droplet infection, as well as the di.
rectly injurious effects which in
evitably result from exposure to
such environment. The over
heating of rooms is also seemingly
harmful. Promiscuous expectora-
ton may be, and probably is, a
factor in infection and conse-
quently should be avoided by ev-
cry citizen. A remaining most
important agent should be men
toned, alcohol. 1t is in truth
the handmaiden of pneumonia,
and there is none more certain OF
more sure of success, especially II
Iliberally and continuously used.

stitute in part our knowledge OF
the reasons for the widespread
dissemination of an infection
which carries with it a mortality
