Everything possible is being done to rush the order in hopes of receiving it before the Asian Flu Bug reaches us as it has already done in some sections of the country. A great deal of attention has been given to Asiatic Flu K\? " """ ? u > UL rt ajJUJJCI 3, 11 It's, radio and T.V. The following questions and answers concerning Asian Flu will cast some light on the things we need to know about it. Question: What is Asiatic Flu? Answer: This is the influenza epidemic that has swept through the Far East which began in Northern China in January of this year. The latter part of April it struck in Hong Kong and Singapore. Then, in rapid succession it spread to Formosa, tHe Philippines. the United States, Japan, India, and other areas. In Hong Kong, there were reportedly 500,000 cases while in Formosa there were reportedly 2.000.000 cases. The name most commonly used for this disease is Asiatic Flu. Question: Whom does Asiatic Flu strike? Answer: Young adults in good health appear to he par ucuiariv susceptible to the disease itself, but the dangers of complications are more serious when the victims are children or elderly people. Question: How is it spread? Answer: It appears to spread in the same way as other types of flu, namely through direct personal contnr?t Mnt'n ennnif inolK? . v?\_v. opvv.iia(uiv, lino /\ %Lo PUBLISHED BY AND FOR THE AERS-17 RET and seventeen Retirees will be ic to be held Saturday, October I the Clinton Mill Baseball Park, r 1 graved watches by President I Bailey.

There is 1 also some evidence that flu a infection is airborne. s Question: How wide-spread \ may it become? i Answer: Medical author- J ities indicate that at this time ' it is impossible to predict t with accuracy. The prev- 1 alence of influenza varies I widely, depending upon the ^ contagiousness of the virus f and upon personal factors 1 such as the general condition 11 of the individual. However. 1 in past epidemics in this country, attack rates of the c milder strains of flu have varied from 5 to 30 per cent c of the population. Question: What is the incubation period? Answer: This is variable, but it appears that it is seldom less than 24 or more than 72 hours. Question: Is there any specific treatment? Answer: None other than the usual general supportive measures that are recom mended for influenza at this time. The antibiotics will be of value in the treatment or prevention of bacterial complications such as pneumonia, but do not appear effective against the influenza itself. In other words, once an individual has contracted the disease. it simply has to run its course, very much like the other types of flu. . E T tRm EMPLOYEES OF CLINTOI IREES TO E S. C. Foster, D. M.
