Influenza Traced to Az b. c.

heaicai historians, seeking traces of
influenza epidemics back through the
centuries, have gone back to 4l2 B. c..
when there was an epidemic described
by Hippocrates and Livius.
After that time. however, there is a
long break in the history of the dis
case, il it is the same malady which
caused the old epidemics, and the next
authentic record is dated ll73 A. d.
In that year the illness, spread over
England, Germany and Italy. For so
years the disease existed only in
sporadic form or mild epidemics, for
it is not until 1899 that another severe
epidemic occurred. Since that time
there have been frequent visitations
in every century and recorded in the
histories of many nations.
In the chronicles of 1910 we find the
hrst mention of pandemic, which
spread all over Europe. 1t had its ap-
parent origin in Africa, and the illness
OF that year took only a mild form.
In 1887 occurred the epidemic in
the history of which is found the frs
mention of the spread of the disease
to America. In 1880 there was anoth
er pandemic of especial virulence.
There were several epidemics in the
sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. One of the ceased in 1897,
and it was currently reported that the
cessation was due to earthquakes and
volcanic eruptons.
In the seventeenth century the dis
ease acquired the name by which it is
known, influenza" The designation
is of Italian origin and means simply
influence" The Italians ascribed
the disease to the influence of certain
malign stars. The French name, "la
grippe" came into use in l743, an,
the names petit poste" and petit
courier" in 1862. Later. in 1880, the
widespread character of the epidemic
gave it the name general" Ancient
and medieval medical works contain
accurate descriptions of the disease.

the Royal George, had to return from
the French coast to England becaus.
the influenza disabled so many men,
bers of the crews.
Medical history says that the dis
ease never disappears. 1t exists al
ways, somewhere on earth, but some
of the epidemics are far more severe
than other. Probably the one that is
best remembered by the present gen.
Grafton, before the one that is now
scourging the United States and
probably a continuation of 1918. was
that of lSS9-90, which spread itself all
over the globe.
The disease was rife in lS93-94 and
in 1905, and some authoritaties say
that these later visitations were onlv
"reminiscences of the epidemic of
lSS9-90, not new epidemics. Between
1890 and 1891 there was a breo'
which was caused it is believed by the
summer weather.
The great pandemic of 1899 and IN.
subsequent years was often called
"thc Russian epidemic" because it
began its course in Bokhara, in Asiatic
Russia. From Bokhara it spread to
Siberia, and then went eastward. 1t
appeared in many cities simultaneous
