^E>;[edk*al Historians Trace Disease
K Back 2332 Years.
K- Medical historians seeking- traces of
K irfluenza epidemics back through
E the centuries, have gone back to 412
ft B. C., when there was an epidemic
? described by Hippocrates and Livius.
I After that time, however, there is
fpy a long break in the history- of the disL
ease, if it is the same malady which
caused the old epidemics, and the,
v, -n^xt authentic record is dated 1173 j
In that year the illrmgs spread
W over England, Germany wpd Italy.
S ' For fifty years the disease rousted on
ly in sporadic form or ii* mild epiB
demies, for it is not until 1239 that
B another severe epidemic occurred. I
PtKyBBnce that time there have been freBfe
Quent visitations in every century and
B|* recorded in the histories of many naBSr
Ii} the chronicles of 1510 we l'ind
the first mention of the pandemic,
stwhieh spread all over Europe. It had
" " ? c?? + V>o i
grits apparent origin in Amra, u.nu. ,
Rf illness of that year took only a mila
"Started Here in 1557.
In 1557 occurred the epidemic in
history of which is found the first
Kme^tion of the spread of the disease
^Hp&vAjnerica. 'In 1580 there was anpandemic
of especial virulence.
H^S?ere were several epidemics in the
IHKptPenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
|M|ej|nturies One of them ceased in 1737
iK^tnd it was currently reported that the
HBeessaiion was due to earthquakes and
^H^volcanic eruptions.
In the seventeenth century the disSp&ase
acquired the name by which it
. best known, "influenza." The
^ ^designation is of Italian origin and
Jaieans simply "influence." The Ital l^ians
ascribed the disease to the influ"0
eilce of ce; tain malign stars. The
R^dj^rench name "la grippe," came into
fa -dse in 1743. and the names "petite
p' '-poste". and "petit courier" in 17C3. j
p;' Later in 1780. the widespread charac-j
iter of the epidemic save it the name

? Jpiedical works contain accurate de?^Bcriptions
of the disease, with its

that had no recent communication j
with land. In 17S2 the English squad- i
ron commanded by Admiral Richard !
Kempenfelt. the sailor who went j
down with the Royal George, had to i
return from the French coast to Eng- i
land because the influenza disabled j
so many members of the crew.
Medical history says that the dis- 1
i
ease never disappears. It exists always,
somewhere on earth, but some j
of the 'epidemics are far more severe i
than others. Probably the one that I
best remembered by the present generation.
before the one that is now
scouring the United States and is
probably a continuation of 19IS, was
that of 1889-9H * which spread itself
all over the globe.
The disease was rife also in 189394
and in 19''f>, and some authorities
say that these later visitations were
only recrudsences of the epidemic of I
1889-00, not new epidemics. Between
1890 and 1891 there was a break
which was caused, it is believed, by
the summer weather.
The^great pandemic of 1SS9 and
the subsequent years was often called
"the Russian epidemic," because it
began its course in Bokhara in Asiatic
Rusiia. From Bokhara it spread to
