MAY STOP INFLUENZA
BY REMOV1NC SOURCE
According to Dr. Simon Flexner, director
of laboratories of .the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research, furtiiu.
recurrences of the influenza epkleuuc
ens be prevented only by wiping out
.the disease at its source. 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. One does not need to look far
er dig deep in order to , uncover the i
source of this superstition. We have

\vhieh knowledge of the origin of disease
was scant, and such views as weFe
^onunonly held and exploited were
mostly fallacious. 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

"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. |

full intensity of the epidemic is realized.
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.

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

London, March 1.5.?A joint manifesto,
which will he signed by Premier
Lloyd George and Adrew Bon&r Law,
will be issued in a few days Htating
the principles of a new purty to be
led by th? prosier, says the Daily Mail.
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,

party will not he united in its adherence
to the new combination. A revolt, under
the leadership of the Marquis of
