AND TFIEN-


At this point let Us go back some
years so that you may understand more
fully what happened LATER.
About 1850 an important scientific
discovery had been made. known as
Salicylic Acid. This preparation was
found TO possess remarkable medicinal
virtues. Used internally it stopped pain
promptly. In addition, it acted as a
gerrnicide in the blood. 1t was the first
germicide discovered that could be
safely Iused in this way In large
amounts. However. salicylic acid in
it's crude form was highly irritating
to the stomach and therefore could be
given in very small doses. So chemists
and physicians undertook to hnd some
way of controlling its good qualities
and eliminating its harmful ones.
Soon many salicylic acid prepaFa-
tions were introduced TO the medical
world. Each one showed some advance
ment over it's predecessor. but none
were capable Of being given in large
enough quantities to accomplish really
big results.
In 1900 some German chemists
thought they had successfully solved
the problem, They produced an acetie-
acid-ester of salicylic acid or, more
specifically, "mono-acetie-acid-ester
OF salicylic acid This they introduced
under the trade name OF aspirin.
While aspirin marked q slight im-
provemcnt over the preceding salicyi-
ates, the maximal dose that could be
given in Il hours TO tho normal patient
without causing gastric distress was
40 grains. That is less than one third
Of what 10 actually required to Sufh-
ciently change the blood stream.
In the winter of 1917 and 1913 Ger

mentins. devised . sAlieylAee which,

Snliaifs@ quantities without producing
disturbing after-efects. They called
this new preparation Saloon. But as
they were very busy, during that busy
wartime period, with other important
work, they took no steps towards
marketing Saloon.
That was the situation when the
''fu" epidemic hit Boston.
At the close of the first week of the
epidemic the doctors were almost ar
their wits end. 1t seemed impossible
TO make progress. The cases were null

ing. It was at this moment that in
some way the United States surgeons

ing with-something that was germi-
cidal, yet harmless, and might work"
It was late on Saturday afternoon
thar they got in touch with the presi-
dent of the company that devised
Saloon. He was at his hons. They
ordered a large supply TO be delivered
Immediately. An hour or two later
this order was duplicated by the Mas
sachusetts State Medical Officers. The
new preparation was supplied as soon
IS possible.

THERE is prevalent at present a
wave Of inhuenza which in some
places is reaching epidemic propor-
tions. This form Of 'Au" is rather mild
in most cases where prompt medical
attention is given. But if neglected, it
can, and has in many cases, developed
into more serious trouble.
Everyone remembers the last vista
tion of this dread disease in 1918. For
your safety let Us tell you briefly whas
was done to stop it.
For a year there had been rumors of
An epidemic Of inhuenxa in Asia and
Europe. But il was not until September
1913 that the hrsr case in this country
broke out. The case was on the United
States Receiving Ship stationed at East
Boston, Mass.
In an incredibly short time many
recruits were down with the "flu" +.
and the ship's sick bay was full to over
flowing. Realizing the seriousness Of
the situation, and the inadequate quar-
oers on board the ship, the Massa-
chusetts State Guard Medical Authori-
ties volunteered their services in order
that the patients might be removed to
hospitals.
This work was undertaken under
the direction of the late Surgeon-Gen-
eral, DR.. VIM. A. Brooks. A tent hos
pital was established on Corey Hill,
outside of Boston, a corps Of doctors
and nurses assembled, and = detach-
mene of the State Guard ordered out
on duty to police the camp and gener-
ally aid in the treatment of the sick.
The sailors from the ship in East
Boston were rapidly transferred to this
hospital camp

"I am really only acting presi-
