The History OF Influenza,
.is4 Or Grip
Furnished by the Department Of Pre-
yentive Medicine, University Of
@ Missouri. Columbia, Mo.

Influenza, commonly called
grip, is one of the oldest diseases
known. A disease which was
probably the grip was described
by Hippocrates 412 years before
the birth Of Christ. Many great
outbreaks Of the grip affecting q
partsof the known world have
since occurred. Four great epi-
denies occurred in the Seven
tsepth Century, ten in the Eight
senth Century and four pandem- :
ice In the Nineteenth Century.
Its presence in America is US
ually 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
oil epidemics, the grip progress
es along routes OF travel and no
faster than human beings do.
Large commercial eenters are
first affected, scattered cases
occurring before the general
outbreak takes place. Next the
small towns beome affected, and
lastly the entire country. The
disease appsars on board ship
only after they have touched at
Affected ports. Institutions which
are more or less cut off from the
community in which they are
located, like hospitals for the in
sane, converts aud prisons,
often escape more or less.
Grip infection is from person to
person, and the closer the CON-
tact the greater the danger.
Forty percent Of the entire pop
ulation fall victims OF the grip
during spidemics. Infants and
old people are less likely to take
| It than those Of middle age. 1t Is
markedly disease OF the winter
months. Fifty epidemics have
been noted during the winter
months. thirty-fve during the
spring months and twsnty.four
during the fall months.
| As infection 10 from person to
person directly, the prevention Of
the grip is clear, but IL is diff
Quilt to carry out, according TO
DIR. M. p. Ravenel OF the depart
meat Of preventive medicine Of
1.-THE University Of Missouri al
Columbia. All persons should
l.avoid contact with those showing
symptoms OF the disease. DUR
ling epideInics Of the grip, crowd.
led places, like theaters, halls
and assembling places OF oil
kinds, should be avoided. There
lis no specific cure for the disease
and 90 specific which will pre-
vent II.
