FRENCH DOCTOR CLAIMS
FLU CAUGHT ONLY ONCE

Paris, France, November "a. II you
had the real Spanish Flu back in 1918
and 1919, and didn't die of it you
won't have it again.
You can start in the winter with
a perfectly light heart and no worry
whatsoever as to how you would treat
yourself in the event of fresh at.
tack-n ow that the time honored
whiskey and quinine cure is no longer
integrally available.
This is the solemn and scientific as
surance of Professor C. Dopter of
the famous Val-de-Grace hospital at
Paris. He has just published the full
statistics and reports of the hospital
on the Spanish Flu epidemic since
it's original arrival in 1918 and which
demonstrate conclusively that one at
tack of the disease> establishes i'm
munity.
In other words, the disease itself
creates within the victim, if he doesn't
die, transformation Of the organ.
ism which renders it impossible fol
the same cause to produce the same
effects as regards the disease in ques.
ton.
From the standpoint Of statistics
Professor Dopter points out that the
Spanish Flu Of 1918 and 1919 came
in two waves. 1t was quickly demon
strated that those who had the dis
ease during the first wave, did not
contract it during the second. This
has proved equally true in all sub
sequent epidemics. This also ex
plains the fact, noted almost every
where, that aged people placed If
microbe infested surroundings resist
ed better the disease than young
people who had not yet had a chance
| to become immune.
The conclusions drawn from these
statistics and observations have also
demonstrated their truth by expert
ments conducted by Professor Dopter
Volunteer patients who were given ar
injection Of Flu microbes came dow1
with the disease in four days. Tit
experiment tried later on the same
individuals produced no result what
ever, their organisms having become
| immune.

This statement from Mr. Pulitzer fol-
lowed:--
THE Philadelphia North American story,
which the New York American reprinted
today. is pure fake. 1t is true that I was
present at a luncheon given by Colonel
House. Lord Grey, Cleveland III. Dodge
and Cyrus II. X. Curtis also were there.
Frank T. Cobb, the editor of the New York
World. whose name appears with mine as
having been present, was not at the
luncheon
1.-THE luncheon was merely private af-
fair Mr.. Hoovers name was never men
toned in my hearing. Mr.. Hoover himself
was not present at the luncheon. and there
was no discussion whatever of Presidential
candidates AS for its having any relation
to the Worlds support of Hoover, it is too
