which he sends the following remark:

Of the Public Health Reports and is

Eoidemics Of Influenza have visited
this country since 1911 Il is interesting
to know that this first epidemic was
brought here from Valencia. Spain. In
1859 and 1890 the disease was epidemic
over practically the entire civilized

Although the recent epidemic is Gale i

shown that il did not originate in Spain
We now know that there was an undue
pre-; a,ence Of influenza in the Unitei
S;a-es for several years preceding the re-
cent great pandemic. Because the disease
occurred In a mil form and because
the public mind was focused on the war,
this increased prevalence Of the disease
escaped attention. Not until the cpl
demic appeared in severe form in Bos-
ton in September, 1918. did 1t excite any
special interest.
How Can the Spanish Influenza
Be Recognized?
There Is as yet no certain way in
which a single case of Spanish Influ-
enza can be recognized; on the othe;
hand. recognition is easy where there
is a group of cases. In contrast to the

II is we'll known that an attack OF

usually protects a person against an
o;her attack of the same disease. To
some extent this appears to be true also
of Spanish Influenza. Just how long
such protection lasts is not known.
In guarding against disease Of all
kinds, it is important that the body
be kept strong and able to fight
off disease oernos
This can be done by having a
proper proportion of work, play
and rest. by keeping the body
WI clothed and by eating suffi-
cient whole ONE and properly Sc
