INFLUENZA
An Advisory Proclamation by the
State Board of Health:


Bowling Green, XIV.
September 30, 1918.
Whereas, Influenza, highly in
fectious disease, in severe fatal
form, is wide spread in the Atlantic
coast states, and, being caused only
by the easily recognized Pfieffer
germ which is spread along lines of
travel, and in communities and fam
lies, only by coughing and sneezing
people who ought to be in bed or in
their rooms, has been brought to
Kentucky and, not being an officially
quarantinable disease, threatens to
and is likely to become a wide
spread epidemic in Kentucky unless
the prompt and intelligent coopera-
ton of the people can be secured in
combating it, and,
Whereas, The precautions here
advised, important as to coughs and
colds, are made especially so in the
emergency now upon us for the pro-
lection at all times of our soldiers
with thousands being called to the
colors by the selective draft to reach
the camps within the next few weeks,
as well as for farmers, industrial
operatives and the noble women
daily laboring for the support and
comfort Of our own and the allied
armies, and,
Whereas, The control of this
disease, if successful, must come
from an educated public sentiment
which will periodically demand the
voluntary and systematic isolation in
bis home or in a hospital during the
prevalence of the disease in any COM
munity, of every person who is af-
ficted with cough and sneezing, and
especially that such person shall
not enter or remain in any public
conveyance, picture shows, or other
assembly until the disease is under
control. and, that, therefore,
Be it resolved, That this Board,
in the discharge of manifest public
duty and by virtue of authority
vested in it by law, hereby urges that
all patriotic people who show symp-
toms of this disease, promptly iso-
late themselves in their homes, for
the protection of the public, and in
their rooms for the protection of
their families, and that a mask OF
two thicknesses of gauze or cheese
cloth be worn over the mouth and
nose where for any reason such iso-
lation cannot be made complete; it
advises people to keep away from all
places of assembly in any community
where the disease is prevailing; and
it hereby expressly forbids public
funerals for those dead of the
diease and forbids itinerant shows of
exhibits within the limits of this
Commonwealth. IF these precautions
every kind from entering or making
are demanded by public sentiment
and Systematically carried out by
every family and community, there
need be little cause for alarm, and
the disease will soon be under
control.
