Fighting Influenza Recurrence.

COMPETENT medical authorities in the
~ government, notably those Of the United
states Public Health Service, have given fair
warning to the country TO expect return
OF the influenza ravagcs and to be prepared
for another battle with the disease In order
that the country need no; be unnecessarily
alarmed, the service adds hat the disease
will not be epidemic to tho extont that it
was during tho winter OF 1859. il stops
arc taken to control it. but at that the poo
pie should be on their guard from this time
forward
Some very definite and interesting facts
regarding influenza have been established by
the medical profession, but up to this time
NO positive cure specific has been dis
covered for ii. All the promising remedies
are yet in the experimental stage. and while
physicians everywhere have found means OF
treating the disease and of checking il;
spread. the fin germ never has been isolated
and q sure preventive developed The only
immunity that seems reasonably possible is
that given by case of the disease itself.
The government authorities say tho records
are now sufficiently accurate to show that
once n person has been attacked by influenza
and recovered that person has little to fcar
from the disease.
1t has been demonstrated beyond all qucs-
ton that the flu is spread by direct or even
by indirect contact, and while this renders
1t the more dangerous. it also makes It
possible, even II difficult. TO stop the ravagcs
OF the disease by the simple expcdient or
isolation. The spread may be minimizcu.
moreover, by preventing the congregation OF
people in any community where an outbreak
occurs or by prohibiting the common use OF
drinking or eating utensils.
Another interesting fact about influenza is
that its prevalence in this country accord
Ing to tho Public Health Service cannot be
charged TO any importation Of the germs
from other countries. 1t is now known that
there were mild cpidcmcs OF il in many
American communities before the outbreaks
occurred in Europe or oven in Spain where it
showed itself in malignant form before il
did elsewhere throughout tho world
The relation OF pneumonia mortality to the
IN Is direct. and there is no doubt in the
minds OF the Public Health officials in Wash
lngton that the increase in the deaths from
pneumonia prior to the general outbreak OF
influenza in this country. was due TO the un-
recognized existence of the latter disease
The pneumonia deaths that followed tho out
break can be traced in large measure directly
TO tho fin
The Public Health Service even now is
urging state and municipal health boards
and all other public officials concerned in
community health 10 make their plans for
a drive against the flu during the coming
winter. II this is done and if the public
generally co-operatcs, the government officials
believe that the mortality may be held
down to minimum, and that the flu in
violent epidemic form may be escaped in
most sections OF the country. II is primarily
a case of preparedness. the government Off
