In a recent address before the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons, later faibliabed by the American Medical association, hie outlined the path of the disease through its different stages. "There are excellent reasons for regarding-the endemic home of infleunsa to be Eastern Europe," he said, "and hi particular the border regions between Russia and Turkestan. Many recorded epidemics have been shown more or iese clearly to emanate from that area, while the epidemics of reeent' history have been traced there with a high degree of. conclusiveness. From this Eastern home, at intervals of two or three decadee, a migrating epidemic influenza begins, moving eastward and westward, with the gfeater velocity in the latter direction. "To the casual observer there Is eomething uncanny in the way iafluerr a strikes down Its victims. While Other SDidemica proceed from ? worse, with at least progressive inert-uses in intensity, influenza seems to overwhelm communities over even wider stretches of territory as by a single, stupendous blow. While in the sm case the gradually accelerating rgte ef speed of extension may be taken to indicate wessons! conveyance of the .provoking micro-organism, in the other the sidden wide onset appears the very negation of personal communication. "Henee the invoking of mysterious influences, the revival of the notion of miasm and similar agencies, to account ipr this phenomenon. Indeed, the public mind la general lends itself ruadily to such formless concepts, for the reaaon that there still resides In the mass <of the people, even in the more enUghtsned countries, a large uneradtested residue of superstition regarding ' disease.

It is indeed, very recently, it' the transformation can bis -.aid to Ik- porfeet even now, that the medical profession as a whole has been completely emancipated. All litis is very far from being a matter oi remote importance only, since in ilie end the successful imposition of sanitary regulations involves wide cooperation; and until the Majority of individuals -composing a community It rought to e fair level of understand- i ng of and belief in the measures pro- i used, serious and sustained endeavor to II force them is scarcely to be ex,-tictcd. i "And yet no better instance of a com:iuu>it*ble disease could perhaps be invoked than indeunza to exercise the i 'else idea of the mysterious origin of < pideniics. To dwell salely on the .udden and overwhelming stroke of ilie disease Is wholly to overlook the significant incidents that precede the mass infection because they are of such ordinary nature and lack of dramatic quality. Accurate observers noted long ago that influensa in ita < epidemic form doea not constitute an exception to the oommon rule governing i epidemic diseases, which were ob- i vioualy associated with persons and their migrations. What the early stu- | dents made out by tracing the epi- i demic backward to its point of de- i parture, more modern observers have < confirmed by carefully kept records, i often graphically compiled as in the excellent instance of the Munich ree- < ords covering the epidemic of 1889-92. i which can now be supplemented by a 1 number of similarly constructed ree- I ords of the epidemic, just passed. These i detailed records show convincingly a ! period of invasion during which there i is a gradual rise in the number of I ases, to culminate, within a period variously estimated at from one to i three weeks, in a widespread, socalled 1 explosive' ouinreak. of the disease. | "It happens that the early cases ol < epidemic inlluenxa tend not to be se- ' vere, chiefly because they rartly are < attended by pneumonia and hence are 1 frequently mistaken, and the confusion i .: K r-\;2.f\ \ ' - . * . ,> !WKW9JIm IK MA '" ?

In the meantime rich opportunity has been afforded for the free and unrestricted commingling of the aick and trie week of doubtless healthy carriers of the inciting agent and others, uptil so high a degree of dissemination of the provoking micro-organism has been secured as to expose the. entire susceptible element of the population, which happens to be large, to an almost simultaneous response to the effects of the infecting microbe. "Deductions of like import can be drawn frqjn the geographic movements of influenza epidemics. In Eastern Russia and Turkestan, influenza spreads with the pace of a caravan, in Europe and America with the speed of an express train, and in the world at large with the rapidity of an acean liner; and if one project forward the out-. | come of the means of intercommunication of the near future, we may predict that the next pandemic, should one arise, will entend with the swiftness of ( an airship.

ANY, - - that its sinister character is given by the remarkable frequency with which it is followed, under particular circumstances, by a concomitant or secondary pneumonia infection to which the severe effects and high mortality are traceable." The manner in which to fight disease of this nature is, aroording to Dr. Flexner, one of "central rather than peripheral control," that is, fighting the disease at its source rather than waging a series of campaigns against it after it has spread to distant centers. To quote: "According to this proposal, an effort at control amounting even to eventual eradication of the diseases in the regions of their endemic survival would lie undertaken, an effort, indeed, not otrasional and intensively spasmodic, as during the pandemic ecxuraions, but continuous over relatively long periods, in the hope that the seed tieds, as it were, of the disease might be destroy d. "That such an effort at the eradication of a serious epidemic disease may be carried through successfully, the experience with yellow fever abundantly proves. In attacking that disease, the romhat was not put off until its epidemic spread had Itegun and until new territory, such a New Orleans, Jackmrpl le and Menphis, had been in-1 waded; but the attack was made on its iOUfces at Havana, Panama and now Uuayauil, to which endemic points the txtepaion into new and neutral territory had been traced. "In proposing to strive for the high achievement, not merely of parrying the blows struck hy destructive epidemics, but of rendering them impotent to itrike in the future, we may pause for i moment to reflect on the different ways in which peoples react to great <slamities, such as those brought by war and by disease. As the results ?f a cruel and devastating war, revolutions in governments supposed the moat stable may occur; no such reiult follows on still more devastating ?|ddemics. The recent epidemic of nfluenra claimed, possibly, more vie- i 4ms than did the great war, and the oases to the world in emotion spent, .recsure consumed, and progress im- < >eded are incalculable; yet, through i I * fTRAC I ??

It will l>e accompanied, the newspaper asserts, by an important reconstruction of the ministry, and it is said that for this reason announcement of appointments to the portfolios of labor, food and the board of trade, now vacant, has been intstponcd. Acuording to present intentions, the name of the new party will be the "National Democratic." In addition to a meeting of Liberals next Thursday, arrangements are being made for a conference of Unionists, at which Mr. Bonar Law will announce his resignation from the leadership of that party, and will invite members to join the new organization. Unionist leaders who have been adherents of Premier Lloyd George are said to have decided to support him, uui mere are indications that the party will not he united in its adherence to the new combination. A revolt, under the leadership of the Marquis of Salisbury and l?rd Robert Cecil, is expected, says the Daily Mail.
