FRANCISCO IS
BEHIND THE Times

Because of the strange perversity
of San Francisco in again DOMINIC
flu masks at a time when other cities
are laughing at themselves for ever
having worn such monstrosities, and
for the further reason that a portion
of government experiments regarding
flu were conducted in the California
city, regarding which the Coast news
papers were reticent to a misleading
extent, the following press dispatch
from Washington becomes timely
and wen important. The dispatch is
dated January 20:
Under the supervision of naval sur
geons 100 American bluejackets have
time and again exposed themselves
to the supposedly deadly germs. They
have inhaled flu microbes; they have
had the little flu bugs injected into
their veins; they have taken in the
supposed cause of the flu epidemic in
every known form.
Navy physicians wanted to estab-
lish the nature of the flu germ, and
something of the, way in which the
disease was IT oading. They called
for %volunteer1 who would expose
themselves to it, as the band of physi-
clans in the famous yellow fever
squad" did in attempting to solve the
mystery of yellow fever.
Knowing that thousands of victims
had died of something called "fu,"
these heroes nevertheless volunteered
for duty. But to the establishment of
physicians of the navy and of the
public health service, not a man so
exposed or inoculated developed any
symptoms of flu. Medical science" is
baf1ed. Every man should have been
in bed seriously i'll if medical science
knew anything of the nature of the
deadly epidemic. But not a man de-
veloped even a fever or cold.
The Flu. Mystery is the title of
the record of the public health serv-
ice regarding the experiments, which
carried on at Boston and San
Thirty men at Boston were inocu-
with secretions, filtered and un-
filtered, from the upper respiratory
passages of a typical ease of influenza |
in the active stage of the disease. The
material was introduced into the nose
and threats of members of the "hu
squad" the report says, by sprays
and swabs.
Each of the thirty men kept on
showing the most amazing health.
Ten volunteers visited the Chelsea
naval hospital and allowed flu pa
tents to cough and sneeze in their
Each was exposed to the flu
for about three-quarters of an hour:
and all continued disgustingly healthy.
Blood from five typical cases of flu
