this so-called Spanish influenza is
identical with the epidemics of influen-

"Epidemics of influenza have visited

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 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 ordl
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by nc
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 OF
80 extensively as does influenza.
I'm most cases q 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 1O4. 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 eyellds
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.
