symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover

Orient. spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
ilizcd world. Three years later there
was another ilare-up Of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide.
ly over the United States
Although the present epidemic Is
called Spanish Influenza there Is no
reason To believe that II originated In
Spain. Some writers who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
