Epidemic Probably Not Spanish In

Pile Should Guard Against "DropIet
infection"-Surgeon General Blue
Makes Authoritative Statement

Washington, d. C.-(Special.) AL
though King Alphonso Of Spain was
one Of the victims Of the influenza cpl
demic in 1893 and again this summer,
Spanish authorities repudiate any
claim to influenza as Spanish" dis
ease. II the people Of this country do
not take care the epidemic will be-
come so widespread throughout the
United States that soon we shall hear
the disease called american" infiu-
enZa
In response to request for definite
information concerning Spanish intiu
enza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue Of
the Y. S. Public Health Service has
authorized the following official inter-
view:
What lie Spanish Influenza? Is It
something new2 Does II come from

The disease now occurring in this
country and called Spanish Influen-
In resembles very contagious kind
Of cold accompanied by fever, pains

In the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts Of the body and feeling Of Sc
we're sickness. In most of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days. the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some Of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or Inflammation
Of the ear, or meningitis, and many Of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish Influenza Is
identical with the epidemics Of infiuen-
IA Of earlier years Is not yet known.
.'Epdemics of Influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t Is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
Of influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire CIV
ilized world. Three years later there
was another flare-up Of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza, there 10 no
reason to believe that it originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall of 1917"
How can "spanIsh influenza" be REQ
ognized2
There Is as yet no certain way In
which a single case of Spanish influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
err hand, recognition is easy where
there Is a group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks Of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics Of influenza
may occur at any season Of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely in Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, In the case Of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fsver, pain, depression) are by no
means az severe or as sudden in their
onset az they are In influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community 30 rapidly or
10 extensively a. does influenza.
IN most cases person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud
denly. He feels weak, has pains In the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most Of the pa
tients complain Of feeling chilly, and
with this comes q fever In which the
temperature rises to 100 to 10A In
most cases the pulse remains relative
il slow.
I'm appearance one u struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or con-
gestsd,' 40 the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough These signs
Of cold may not be marked; never
thsless the patient looks and feels very
stck.
I'm addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as already described,
examination Of the patients blood may
aid the physician in recognizing Span
ish influenza, for It has been found

chased and fitted up a power-boat, which they stocked with camp equipment and also took a skin along equipped with an Evinrude which was run by K. Lazaroff. The men left here on Wednesday afternoon for Mummy Island to dig clans for the Pioneer Packing Company, although Superin- tendent McConaghy endeavored to persuade them not to start out until the big boats owned by the company left.
 When the party reached WhitShed the boat went on the spit and Lazar- off wanted his companions to anchor for the night and go ashore until morning. Pankoff. however, insisted upon proceeding on the journey and a fresh start was made. The gasoline tank was empty after an hours run ming and as the engine became stalled the boat started to drift. They had no light abroad but by watching the land marks learned that the tide was go- ing out, and brought large ice foes from the flats.
 Pankoff joined Lazaroff in the skiff and together they held the line fast to the power boat, and had it within 2.0OO feet of the shore, when Pankoff returned to the big boat and said he would start his engine He pulled the
