??? ^ ,
Vashington. Sept. 13.?"Will the cj
flu' come back this year?" ni
Th^a question being asked by thousands
01 scientists and millions of so
Laymen throughout the wori i is dis- th
:ussed by surgeon Genera 3Iue of J
the public health service in an >:fi- *'j
:iai bulletin in which it is said that pt
the plague probably will reapp-11 ?f
but not as severe as iast winter.
"'Probably, but by no means certain "'J
?u
iy, there will be a recurrence of the .
influenza epidemic this year." says ^
General Blue. ^
"Indications are that snoutu .t oc- ',
cur, it will not be as severe as the,
pandemic of the previous winter. w
City officials, State and city Doards rfi
of health, should be prepared m the -n
event of a recurrence. The fact that rV
a previous attack brings immunity
in a certains percentage of cases, V
should allay fear on the part of those ^
afflicted in the previous epidemic. j ^
Influenza is spread by direct and j p,
indirect contact. It is not yet certain i ;n
that the germ has been isolated, or'
discovered, and as a consequence j ^
Tnere is yet no positive preventative w
except the enforcement of rigid rules j
of sanitation and the avoidance of pi
personal contact. A close relation ^
between the influenza pandemic and
the constantly increasing pneumonia ^i
immortality rate prior to the fall of fa
T919 is recognizee. It isnow believed fa
that the disease was prohaoiy wiaeiy
iissemiiu. teu throughout the country 0f
before it was recognizee in its epi- ai
aemic state. This failure to recognize st
the early cases appear- to have
largely been due to the fact that w
every interest was then centereo on ri
the War. j es
"Not one of the many experts of: di
:ne service would make a more posi-1 or
tive forecast. All agreed, however. ft
that a recurrence was not unlikely,
and in the face of the known fact,
that it would be wise to beprepared ;
''Contrary to the opinion expressed
frequently during the ea iy weeks i st
of last year's phndemic by a number; w;
of observe! s, the studies of the pub-, er
lie health service indicate chat the j of
epidemic was not a fresh importation 1 in
. .from abroad. Careful study ofthe j ;n
mortality statistics of the United i ui
States shows that there were a num-' af
oer of extensive thoughmild foreI

"Concerning the important ques- f
m of immunity conferred by an at- t
.ok of influenza, the evidence is not s
inclusive but there is reason to be- >ve
that an attack during theear'.i- s
stages of the epidemic confers a n
insiderable. but n t absolute imrr.u- 5
ty in the later o tbreaks.
'Despite the fact that there is still *
>me uncertainty as to the nature of
... micro-organism causing influen- s
t. one thing is certain, that the dis- t
iSt- is com .runicable from person to

is carried about not only by
ose who arc ill with influenza, but w
persons who may be entirely well. t
verything which increases persona!
ntuet. therefore, should be regard -. I
I as a factor in spreading influenza.
"It seems probable, however, that
e may expect at '.east local recuroces
in the near future, with an1
crease over the normal mortality
om pneumonia for perhaps severalj
?ars; and certainly we should be, as
x as possible, prepared to meet;

vestigation.
"There should be no repetition of j
ie extensive suffering and distress j
hich accompanied last year's pan- (
tmic Communities should make >
ans now for dealing with any re- j
trrence.
"No mention has been made here i
ost careful scientific investigations;
ivebeen able todetermine. none has'
sen discovered, the suggested remees
which give most encouragement

e even now in their experimental j
age.
"Evidence collected during last
inter's pandemic points strongly to
feeted eating and drinking utensils,
ipecially in places where food and
ink are sold to the public, as being
ie of the modes of transmission of
tis disease."
