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 intluen.
"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,
ilized world. Three years later there
was another tlare-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 1t originated in
S.iain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe tnat the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at.
tenton 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 single case of Spanish infu
enza' can be recognized. On the 9th
er 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 mos,
intensely In Europe in May, June ant
July. Moreover, in the case of ordi
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by ne
means as severe or as sudden in thei,
onset as they are In influenza. Final
.ly, ordinary colds do not spreat
through the community so rapidly OF
so extensively as does influenza.
I'm 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 fever In WHICH the
temperature rises to 100 to 104 In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
I'm 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 hose, OF
there may be some cough. These signs
OF cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.
I'm addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as already described
