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-calIed Spanish Influenza is
identical with the epidemics Of lnauen-
"a Of earlier years Is not vet known.
"Epidemics Of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. It. is interest,
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemlcs Of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
Of influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient, spread first 10 Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ.
ilized world. Three years later there
was another fare-up Of the disease
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the Omitted States.
Although the present epidemic ID
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 att
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.
Ocnized?
''There Is as vet no certain way in
which single case Of Spanish infu.
enza' can be recognized. On the 9th.
e. hand, recognition is easy where
there Is 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
tfever, 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
30 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
tlents complain Of feeling chilly, and
with this comes fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
~ 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-
eested, 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.
aIn addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as already described,
examination OF the patients blood may
aid the physician IL recognizing Span
ish influenza. for Ii has been found
