through inhalatiG q, 1t must be remem-
bered that there are many other paths
by which such germs are transmitted
from person to person. SOiled hands,
common drinking cups. improperly
cleaned eating and drinking utensils
in restaurants, soda fountains, ETC..
roller towels, infected f0od-these are
only few of the common vehicles
Of germ transmission. The use of face
masks appears to make people neglect
these other paths of infection, and SO
the use of face masks has not been
attended with the success predicted
for them. If we would be more sue
cessful in combating Influenza great
er attention must be paid to the fac
tors just enumerated.
The question Of most practical ana
immediate interest is the probability
Of recurrence in the near future. Re-
currences are characteristic Of influ-
enza epidemics; and the history of the
last pandemic and previous ones
would seem to point to the conclusion
that this one has not yet run Its full
course. On the other hand this cpl
lemic has already shown three more
or less distinct phases and has been
more severe, at least in mortality, than
the three-year epidemic Of 1SSD-02,
facts which Justify the hope. though
not the conclusion. that 1t has run IT'D
course already.
Recurrence 10 Likely.
It seems probable, however, that we
may expect ut least local occurrences
in the near future. with an increase
over the normal mortality from pneu-
mOnia for perhaps several years; ana
certainly we should be. as far as pos
sible, prepared to meet them by pre-
vious organization of forces and meas
ures for attempted prevention. treat
ment. and scientific investigation.
There should be no repetition of the
extensive suffering and distress which
accompanied last years pandemtc.
Communities should make plans now
for dealing with any recurrence OF the
epidemic. The prompt recognition OF
the early cases and their effective lso-
latiOn should be aimed ut. In this con-
nection, attention is called to the fact
that the cases may appear to be just
ordinary colds. \ recent extensive

"s,immer colds" in Peoria. Illinois.
proved on investigation to he an ep-
idemic Of mild type of influenza.
Experience indicates that these mild
epiiemicS are often the starting points
of more severe visitations. Hence ev-
cry effort should be made to discover
as early as possible any unusual prev
alence Of "colds."
For municipalities operating on a
budget basis. 1t is important that all
delay in providing the necessary finan-
cial support to the health authorities
in dealing with II recurrence of the
epidemic be avoided by setting aside
an emergency epidemic fund. This
may prove of the greatest value in car
rying out important preventive meas
ures in the early days of the eptden-
| ic, at Il time when their beneficial eff
feet is greatest.
The most promising way to deal with
possible recurrence of the influenza
epidemic Is, to sum it up in single
word. preparedness" And now 1t
is the time to prepare.

Above are the important facts de-
veloped by the United States health
service after Il careful survey and in
vestigation of the influenza panlemic
of 191S-19lo carried on in every state
and important city, and even in for
eign countries.
No one of the many experts of the
service would make more positive
forecast of the all-important question.
Will there be Il recurrence? All agreed.
however. that a recurrence was not
unlikely. and in the face Of the known
facts. that ii would be wise to be pre-
pared, more with Il view of being on
the safe side than actually anticipat-
ing danger.
The following excerpts from the
government report are published for
the benefit of the public and health
officers in the hope that this will serve
to set at rest the daily publication in
the newspapers of statements. which
on one hand are calculated to lull the
public into sense Of false security
and on the other to unduiy cause
alarm.
Contrary to the opinion expressed
frequently during the early weeks OF
last years pandemic by number OF
observers. the studies of the United
States public health service indicate
that the epidemic was not fresh i'm
portation from abroad. Careful study
Of the mortality statistics of the Uni
ted States shows that there were a
number Of extensive though mild FORE
runners Of the pandemic during the
previous three or four years. The ep-
idemic was generally Of mild type
and has since been almost forgotten.

A Single Remedy Often Cures
Many Diseases.

1t is almost impossible to give a list

this newspaper would be required to
print them all. You eat to keep alive
Ito supply blood and flesh and bone
and muscle and brain. 1t is easy to
see that il your food is not digested
and taken up by the delicate organs
and distributed where 1t Is needed, a.
disease of some sort is sure to come.
Dyspepsia is a common symptom, and
SO are liver complaint loss of flesh,
nervousness, bad memory, dizziness,
sleepiessness, no appetite. Many times,
when neglected. indigestion results In
coughs. throat diseases. catarrh, bron-
chitis and even more dangerous things.
And all these disorders arise because
the food Is not properly digested in
the stomach. 1t is plain even to a
child that relief and cure are to be
had only by setting up healthy con-
dition in the stomach. Dr. Pierce, of
