Will the Flu Return?

VIII the FIu Return!
The Kennsbec Journal 10 in receipt
Of some interesting matter on the
above subject IN Q letter from Sur
geon General Rupert Blue Of the
army. in which he>says that 30 much
has been written about the probabili-
ty Of the recurrence Of the epidemic
Of influenza this winter that the Pub
lie Health Service felt 1t should
make some comment on the
subject. Quite frankly. no one
can say with any certainty
whether there will be recurrence. No
mention Is made of cure or speci-
nc. So far as the most careful SCI
entific investigations have been able
to determine. none has been discov-
cred; the suggested remedies which
give most encouragement are even
now in their experimental stage"
General Blue says that evidence
collected during last winters epi-
demic points strongly to infected eat
ing and drinking utensils. especially
II places where food and drink are
sold 10 the public. as being one Of the
modes of transmission of this disease.
In some municipalities this matter
has already been made the subject Of
regulation. but the enforcement Of
the regulations often leaves much TO
be desired In many parts Of the
counlry not even this beginning has
been made He then gives the fol-
lowing authoritative statement Of the
United States Public Health Service:
Probably. but by 10 means GER

Indications are, that should II oc-
crr. I. will not be as severe as the
epidemic Of tie previous winter.

event Of q recurrence.

has been isolated, or discovered. and

II 10 now believed that the disease

throughout the country before IL was
recognized in its epidemic state. This
failure to recognize the early cases
appears 70 have been large!1 due to
the fact that every interest was then
eensered On the war.

Undoubtedly. There are those.

President Wilson might have done
and might still do better If he would

Of all kinds Of intimate knowledge on
