REVIEWS ITS WARNING
AGAINST INFLUENZA.
Rapid Extension in Many Sec
tions Following Peace
Celebrations.
Free Vaccine For Prevention
of the Disease.

Bowling Green, KY, Dec. 6, 1918
To the Health Officials, Physician:
and People,
Early in October, before the full
import of the danger from influenza
was grasped by the people, and wei
in advance of such action in most
other states, churches, schools and al
other places of public assembly were
rigidly closed, and, with the aid OF
the public press, the State was flooded
with warning and advisory literature
with the result that, in spite Of the
hardships inseparable from such
drastic measures vitality affecting the
most treasured customs and privi-
leges Of every community and home
there was such universal and helpful
cooperation from the clergy, the
teachers, women's clubs and the rank
and file of the people, as to greatly
restrict the spread of the disease, ex-
cept in certain mining and other Sec
tons and homes where the housing
conditions made it impossible to Sc
cure proper ventilation and prevent
over-crowding, associated, as such
conditions always are, with lack of
nourishment, nursing and medical at
tention. and with the high death rate
incident to any kind of sickness of
people so situated.
In response to the urgent calls of
distress, mainly from such sections,
within four weeks this board, the U.
S. Public Health Service. the Ken
lucky Red Cross and the State Coun-
ell Of Defense, meeting weekly, and
utilizing their respective auxiliary
organizations in every county and
community in collecting information
and extending help, SO physicians and
2l5 nurses and Sisters of Charity
were sent to do relief work, often I'M
der difficulties and living conditions
easier to imagine than describe. Ex-
cept in such sections and in some of
the wealthiest counties, where short
sighted, niggardly Fiscal Courts have
always forced doctors to carry on
health work at their own expense, or
leave it undone, the epidemic was
soon under such measurable control
that it was thought safe to remove
or greatly liberalize the quarantine
restrictions from the Jurisdictions
first attached which had good health
organizations, until this has now been
done in nearly all cities and in about
two thirds of the counties.
Everything went well for a few
avs when, following the peace cele-
lrations and similar festivities, dur
ing which all precautions and safe
Juards were thrown 10 the winds, a
notable increase of new cases, for
tunately of milder type. was re-
ported almost everywhere, until in
many counties the disease acain as
sumed such an epidemic form that
demands were constantly received
for a renewal Of the restrictions. the
local authorities often imposing them
without waiting for advice. Except
in few instances this Board has in
sisted that, as the more violent and
fatal stage Of this epidemic has pass,
ed, individual cases and families BE-
more rigidly isolated than in the past
