Since the influenza viruses were not discovered1, 2, 3until more than a decade later, there can be no certainty regarding the relationship between the viruses known today and the 1918 episode. Nevertheless, it seems probable that the influenza viruses will be found to be causally related to future recurrences of the highly fatal disease. In comparing the pandemic of 1918 with subsequent epidemics, Francis4has remarked: "The differences enumerated appear to be those...Bibliography1. SHOPE RE : Swine influenza, Jr. Exper.
