Whether this so-called spanish in Auenza is identical with the epidemics of influenza of earlier days is not yet known.
 There is as yet no certain way in which a single case Qt Spanish intu- enza" can be recognized; on the other hand. recognition k easy where there is group of cases.
 in most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather sudden ly. He feels weak. has pains in the eyes. ears, head or back, and may be sore all over Many patients feel dig ~. some yomit Most of the patients complain of teehng chilly, and with thls comes a fever in which the ternpa- tare rises to loo to l04. In most cases the pulse remains relatively slow.
 Ordinarily, the fever lasts from three to four days and the patient recovers. But while the proportion of deaths in the present epidemic has generally been low, in some places the outbreak has been severe and deaths have been numerous When death occurs 1t is Is usually the result of complication
 No matter what particular kind of germ causes the epidemic, it IS now be- Heved that influenza Is always spread from person to person. the germs being earripj with tho xtpr%-= srnaD 9rbtalafg af mueas. expelled by coughing or sueez= jnG, forceful talking. and the like by one who already has the germs of the disease They may also be carried a5out in the air Tn the form of dust coming from dried mucus. from cough ing and sneezIng. or from careless peo- pie who spit on the floor and on the sidewalk AS in most other catching di4sases, a person who has only ultd attack oi the disease himself may give d very severe attack to others
 It k very important that every per son who becomes sick with influenza should 20 home at once and go to bed. This will help keep away dangerous complications and will at the same time, keep the patient from scattering the disease far and Wlde It Is highly desirable that nc ole be allowed to sleep in the same room with the patient. h fact, no one but the nurse should be allowed in the room.
