Influenza.

Influenza.
LA Grippe, Flu, Spanish Influenza.)
| My object has been and is to make
these articles as simple in compost
tion, using as few technical words and
terms as possible in order that there
may be an applicability of them to
everyday life. / shall confne myself
in this article to giving simply what the
disease is and its effect on the mortality
of last year
To discuss such broad, inclusive and
important disease in the limited space
allotted for each medical article in our
tice to my readers, hence shall continue
|, the discussion in subsequent writing.
Influenza or la grippe is a pandemic
disease appearing at irregular intervals,
characterized by extraordinary rapidity
of extention and the large number of
people attached.
Following the pandemic there are as
Il rule, for several years endemic, cpl
demic and sporadic outbreaks in diff
ferent regions.
It does not necessarily follow, how
ever, that we will have an epidemic this
fall and winter, but there is certainly
no assurance that such will not be the
case, and / don IT think there isx any
better time than now to prepare for
eventualities.
To acquaint you with the ravages of
this particular disease it is necessary
only to state that the number of vic.
tins was ten times greater than the
number of American soldiers killed in
the world 8 war. Over one-half million
people passed into the stgreat beyond,
not being able to withstand this "mon
ster giant Of the men Of death
The rate of mortality which tn
i American life insurance companies ha,
! to meet in 1918 was about 80 per cen
greater than in 1917 and IA per cen
| greater than the average death rate TO
score of years. Thirty-eight life in
I, surance companies paid $93,000,00t
7 more than in 1917 for death claims ant
u endowments.
| There are several types of infuen7,
that is classifying it as to its modes
of onset-respiratory, nervous form
gastro-intestina form, and the febril
form. ~. Il. -
In the respiratory form the disease
The bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1919-09-12

, resembles very much an ordinary acute
cold in its onset, and individuals pay
very little attention to it because OF
this fact, hence l am lead to believe
that, many of the cases of influenza
that developed serious consequences
could have been averted or the severity
of the attack lessened if this fact had
been known and a physician called in
at the beginning.
The nervous form sets in with an at
tack on the nervous system with little
or no symptoms of the form just des-
cribed, and again some among us might
be mislead because of the absence of a
cold. The nervous symptoms usually
manifest themselves in the form of a
headache, pains in the back and joints
and profound postration. Among the
more serious complications may be men
toned meningitis and eneephalitis, the
latter leading to hemiplegia or mono
plegia.
The onset of the fever in the CASTRO
intestinal type there may be nausea and
vomiting. or the attack may set in with
abdominal pain, profuse diarrhea and
collapse
In the febrile form the only marked
manifestation is the fever which may
resemble most any kind of febrile con
dition.
In all eases of even suspected infiu-
enza consult Immediately your physi-
clan, for it is disease that battles the
most competent and the best is none
too good to treat or ward off its dead
ly attack
