BILE that the laboratory investigations !
now being made through the National
Research Council and the United
States Hygienic Laboratory will fur
nish more certain way in which indi-
vidual cases of this disease can be
recognized"
What is the course Of the disease?
Do people die Of It?
Ordinarily, the fever lasts from
three to four days and the patient re-
covers. 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 oc-
ours it is usually the result Of q COM
plication."
What causes the disease and how 10
II spread?
"Bacteriologists who have studied in
fluenza epidemics in the past have
found in many Of the cases a very
Small rod-shaped germ called, after Its
discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus. In other
cases OF apparently the same kind OF
disease there were found pneumococci,
the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still
others have been caused by strepto-
cocci, and by others germs with long
names.
mo matter what particular kind Of
germ causes the epidemic. 1t is now
believed that influenza Is always
spread from person to person, the
| germs being carried with the air along
with the very small dropiets of mucus,
expelled by coughing or ssneezing,
forceful talking, and the like by one
who already has the germs Of the dis
ease. They may also be carried about
! in the air in the form Of dust coming
| from dried mucous, from coughing and
sncezing, or from careless people who
| spit on the floor and on the sidewalk.
| AS In most other catching diseases, a
I person who has only mild attack OF
the disease himself may give a very
severe attack to others"
What should be done by those who
catch the disease?
ut is very important that every per-
son who becomes sick with influenza
should go 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 wide. 1t is highly
desirable that no one be allowed tc
sleep in the same room with the pa.
tient. In fact, no one but the nurse
