FLU GERM
 IS ISOLATED
 BYEXPERTS
Disease Microbe Is Now Found; Can Be
 Conquered

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Feb. B. the origin and isolation of the influ- enza germ has been discovered, &C., cording to Dr. Simon w. Flexner, of the Rockefeller Institute for Med ical Research, who in announcement made today attributes the discovery to pr. Peter Olitsky and Dr. Freder- ick T. Gates, both connected with the Institute. Isolation of the germ, stated Dr. Flexner, will now permit of experimentation with antidotes and anti-toXins, to the end of com- batting the ravages of the disease. The germ is declared to be so small that it must be magnified thousand times to be visible at all distinctly under the microscope.
