Makes Authoritative Statement

Washington, D. C.-(Speclal.)-Al-
though King Alfonso of Spain was
one of the victims of the influenza cpl
demic in 1893 and again this summer,
Spanish authorities repudlate any
claim to Influenza as spanish" dis
ease. If the people of this country do
not take care the epidemic will be-
come so widespread throughout the
United States that soon we shall hear
the disease called "American" infiu-
enZa.
In response to a request for definite
Information concerning Spanish infiu-
enza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of
the O. s. Public Health Service has
authorized the following official inter
view:

these complicated cases die. Whether

"Epidemics Of influenza have visited
this country since 1e47. It IL 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 fare-up Of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
~ over Tue Oulteu otdtca
although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza there Is no
reason to believe that 1t originated In
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention 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
oonixed7
There Is as yet no certain way in
which a single case of Spanish influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand, recognition Is easy where
there Is a 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 ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever. pain, depression) are by no
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 or
30 extensively as does influenza.
"In most cases a 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 104 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 eyelids
niay be slightly S:oodshos,' CT con
gested,' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose. or
there may be some cough. These signs
of a cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.
"In addition to the appearance and
the symptoms ~ already described,
