AMA Warns About Asian Flu Epidemic The American Medical Association said last week that an Asian flu epidemic could hit the United States this win ter. It said the disease has been working slowly around the world from Asia since January. "Physicians have been alerted", the AMA said, "public health programs outlined and stocks of anti-influenza vaccine built up. Because of the vaccine, AMA leaders think the disease may not be as widespread as the epidemic of 1957-58." The AMA said that in the past five years Asian flu has contributed to the deaths of 90,000 Americans. It said the flu itself usually does not kill but weakens the bodv's defense against other diseases. > RimiONs -F J U m ngKf! he late P. S.
