WILL BE MIIDER

first and slightest I'm point Of mortal
lily occurring in June and July. the
second and most severe in November.
the third in February and March.
Data, which need not be cited here In
detail, Indicate that the course Of the
epidemic in western Europe generally
was similar. In the United States the
epidemic developed more largely in
a single wave during September, DC
/ tOber and November
| The prevalence of a serious epidem-
/ ic Of influenza was first recognized In
and around Boston in September Of
| 1918. Within about two weeks ii was
| general in the Atlantic seaboard de-
"elOping little later among cities fur
Their west. Rural districts were usu-
ally attacked somewhat later than
large interests in the same sections.
In the cities east of the line of the
AppalachianS the excess mortality
from pneumonia and influenza during
the weeks ended September IA, 1918
To March /. 1919, was approximately
5.6 per 1000; in cities between the.
Rocky mountains and the AppalaChi-
ans 4.3j; and In those Of the Pacific
Coast go per 1000.
Concerning the important question
Of immunity conferred by an attack
of influenza. the evidence is not con-
elusive, bat there is reason to believe
that an attack during the earlier
stages of the epidemic confers a con-
siderable but not absolute immunity
in the later outbreaks.
Transmitted by Contact.
In general the pandemic of influenza
was largely similar to that of 18S9-9O /
in its development, first a mild form. !
later on severe worldwide epidemic, |
in the rapidity of its spreG~l and its
high case incidence. 1t has however
been notably different in much high
er mortality, especially among young
adults. Such evidence as has been
gathered confirms the conclusion pre-
viously reached that 1t Is transmitted
directly and indirectly by contact. 1t
appears. probable, however, that the
infection was already widely dissem-
mated in this country sometime be-
fore Il serious epidemic was recog-
nized.
Despite the fact that there Is still
some uncertainty as to the nature of
the micrO-Organism causing pandem-
lc influenza, one thing is certain, that
the disease is communicable from per-
son to person. Moreover, judging
from experience in other diseases, 1t
IS probable that the germ, whatever
It's nature, IS carried about not only ;
by those who are ill with influenza,
)ut by persons who may be entirely
we'll. Everything which increases per- |
;onal contact, therefore, should be re- /
sarded as a factor in spreading influ- I
