Keeping them at work is better than curing the ?ick.
LAST Winter a big boas in Vir- |
tnnia was a tumping around his j

rn?*ii w?o? away with iufluvnza He
knew that I'ncle Sam had a dead
line on that particular Job, because
they were build I ng a huge powder

Thirteen thousand men were sup
posed to report for work every
morning and each day there would i
be anywhere from seven hundred j
to twelve hundred home sick Dc-j
fense work eannot wait, and pick i
ing up skilled men in a hurry is ,
not so easy.
The boss finally called in the |
company doctor who was naturally
pretty busy with the general medlcal
care of such a large force. He
Is a fairly young doctor U> 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.
