LAST Winter a big boas in Vir- | tnnia was a tumping around his j have so much responsibility but he met the emergency by a method better known in Europe than here. His plan was to give half the force a daily quinine dose of five grains, and to the other hAlf a daily dose of 41 pill containing only ? ? ? - I bicarbonate of soda. The reason for this was that Dr. Schnurman wanted to confirm what his medical reading had suggested, and this wholesale administration of quinine was to he checked against the influenza rate of the men who took only the bic.vbonate of soda.. His results, published In the Virginia Medical Monthly for June 1941. suggest that everyone of us this winter had better profit by his xpertenco. Among the men who had taken quinine there was a reduction of Sikj. |r, the rate of Influenza. In other words .there were pnly one fourth as many cases among those who took quinine, aa compared to those who dtdn't. All the experts agree that we shall have more influenza this winter than last. And this experience of I)r. Schnurnyin. on 6,500 men. ought to remind us that quinine aa _a preventive of influenza, at the rate of five grains per day, Is well worth a trial.
