The Influenza Epidemic.
The first case of iufleunza of the
epidemic OF 1g1s-1e19 was reported
on September 2s. 1913. and not until
April OF 1919 was the city free from
the disease The first case reported
was a white female, 80 years of age
From that time on all ages. sexes and
races were affected. Four more cases
were reported during the remaining
four days OF the month, and by the
end Of the year more than $500 cases
OF Influenza had been reported to the
health department
At the beginning Of the year, 1913,
the number OF cases was greatly les
sened. but still great numbers Of new
infections were being reported each
cases OF influenza were reported the
first four months of the var. Only
sporadic cases had been reported since
that time: two In May, ten in Sep
tenher TWO in. October and six in De-
cember. 1881 cases reported during
the first four months Of the year rep
resent approximately oue-third Of all
cases reported during the seven
months of the epidemic The month
of January with ass cases showed a
decline over the previous month, but
February with SIS showed an in
crease, as did March with $40 cases
The end OF the epidemic came IN
April. when only seventy-nine cases
were reported
OF the 1851 cases reported for
1919, 1.751 were of the white race.
Isl being males and 1000 females.
The same proportion held among the
other races, the number Of cases pre-
dominating among the females The
races reported were: White, colored,
Mexican, Indian, Jewish. German.
Gypsy. Dutch and Italian.
A classification of the occupations
Of the affected ones would seem to
show that those persons whose occu-
pations kept them indoors were more
prone to infection than those who
were employed out of doors. DURING
February, there were 249 cases of in
