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 iniiuen-
"a of earlier years Is not yet known.
"Epidemics 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
iized world Three years later there
was another hare-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 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 rec.
ognized?
"There is as yet no certain way in
which a single case Of Spanish infu'
enza' can be recognized. On the 9th
er 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
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are in influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
SO extensively as 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 a fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
"In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or con
gested,' as 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
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.
"In addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as already described,
examination Of the patients blood may
aid the physician in recognizing Span

Will a person who has had influenza
before catch the disease again2

before catch the disease again2
1T Is well known that an attack OF
measles or scarlet fever or smallpox
usually protects a person against an
other attack of the same disease. This
appears not to be true Of Spanish in
fluenza.' According to newspaper re-
ports the King of Spain suffered an
attack of influenza during the cpl
demic thirty years ago. and was again
stricken during the recent outbreak In
Spain"
How can one guard against influ-
enza?
"In guarding against disease of all
kinds, it is important that the body be
kept strong and able to fight off dis
ease germs. This can be done by hav-
ing proper proportion of work, play
and rest, by keeping the body well
clothed, and by eating sufficient whole
some and properly selected food In
connection with diet, it Is well to re-
member that milk Is one of the best
all-around foods obtainable for adults
as well as children. So far as a dis
ease like influenza Is concerned, health
authorities everywhere recognize the
very close relation between It's spread
and overcrowded homes. While 1t is
not always possible especially In
times like the present, to avoid such
Overcrowding, people should consider
the health danger and make every
effort to reduce the home overcrowd-
ing to a minimum. The value of fresh
air through open windows cannot be
over emphasized.
"When crowding Is unavoidable, as
In street cars. care should be taken to
keep the face so turned as not to in
hale directly the air breathed out by
another person.
ut is especially important to be-
ware of the person who coughs or
sneezes without covering his mouth
and nose. 1t also follows that one
should keep out Of crowds and stuffy
places as much as possible, keep
homes, offices and workshops well
aired spend some time out Of doors
each day, walk to work If at all prac-
ticable-.in short, make every possible
effort to breathe as much pure air as
possible.
"In all health matters follow the ad-
vice of your doctor and obey the regu-
lations of your local and state health
officers"
"cover up each cough and sneeze,
II you don't you'll spread disease"
