On the oth er hand, recognition Is easy where there la a group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinal coughs and colds, which usually occur In the cold -months, epidemics of Influenza may occur at any season of the year. Thus the present epidemic raged most ■Intensely In Europe In May, June and July. Moreover, In the case of ordi nary colds, * the general symptoms (fever, pain,. depression) are by no means as severe or as sudd.en In their onset as they are in InHuenza. Final ly, ordinary- colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or •o extensively as does Influenza. “In most cases a person taken Blck with Influenza feels sick rather sud denly. He feels weak, has pains In the i eyes, ears, head or hack, and may be gore all over. Many pqtients feel dizzy, some vomit. Most "of the pa tients complain of feeling chilly, and with this comes a fever In which the temperature rises to fOO to 104.

The value of fresh air through open windows cannot be over emphasized.
