What causes the disease and how ia

“Bacteriologists who have studied In*

found In many of the cases n very
small rod-shaped germ called,‘after its
discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus ' In other
cases of apparently the same kind of
disease there were foutid pneunutcoccl,
the germs of lobar pneumonia Still
others have been caused by strepto-^
cocci’, and by others germs with long
names.
“No matter what particular kind of
germ causes the epidemic, it is now
believed that Influenza la always

How can “Spanish influenza” ha rac
•gniztd?’.
“There la at yet no certain way In
which a single case of ’Spanish Influ
enza* can be recognized. 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. In
tnoM case© the pulse remains relative
ly slow.

“In guarding against disease of all

kept strong and aid© to tight off dis

connection with diet, It I© well to re

authorities everywhere recognize the
very close relation between Its spread
and overcrowded homes. While it is
not always possible, especially in
times like the present,, to avoid such
overcrowding, people should consider
the health danger and 'make every
effort to reduce the home overcrowd

air through open windows cannot be
over emphasized.
