Recurrence of Influenza
in SO or 66 Week Cycles

Recurrence of influenza epideinics IN
cycles 33 or 66 weeks apart were dis
cussed in statement issued last night
by the bureau of census. based on a
study made by DR.. John Brownlee. an
English physician, who advanced the
cycle theory.
1T is now exactly sixty-six weeks
since the mortality peak of the epi-
demic in Chicago" the statement said.
This also is true of New York city
and Washington. In all three of these
places influenza is epidemic.
The periodicity suggests. that we
may be dealing with injecting organ
isms which not only have the power
to reproduce themselves in a viruIent
form continuously for longer period
If susceptible persons are exposed,
but which also have the power of
developing in cycles of thirty-three or
sixty-six weeks. This recurrance of
the epidemic after sixty-six weeks cet-
tainly strengthens the view that the
epidemics of 1889. 1890, 1918 and 1920
all have a common etiology."

Three hundred and sixty-seven
census districts have been complete ed
IN tWenty-nine days. including SUNDAYS,
when many of the staff of enumera-
tors worked in the effort to finish up
the work here. This record is looked
upon as one OF the best ever attained
under adverse weather conditions and
with many of the enumerators on the
SICK list from day to day.

With the exception of heavy SHOWS
