Same AS Grippe Records.
The Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance
Co. has checked up DR.. Brownlee' S
discovery by going over the influenza
and pneumonia death records of the
United States in a number Of select
ed cities. The result confirms the
discovery of the 33-66-99-week cycle.
Further, this investigation showed
that the same thing was true of the
grippe" records from 1890 to 1898.
Influenza epidemics began in the
United States in September, 1918.
The epidemic's peak was reached
the week of October 26. Twenty
three weeks from that time would
have brought a recurrence in June,
1919, but as June was hot month,
the germ was evidently not able to
resume operations. From mid-June
1919, to the end of January, 1920,
was exactly 33 weeks, or 66 weeks
from the 1918 plague. In the last
week of January, this year, influenza
reached its peak. The death chart Of
grippe, epidemics in 1890-l893, shows
the same cycles.
When VIII the next attack occur?
Here is the past record:
October, 1918, cold weather, seri-
Americus times-recorder., 1920-03-01

recurrence of influenza and pneu-
monia until December, 1921. By
