Epidemic Probably Not 8panleh In

Makes Authoritative Statement.
Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—Al
though King Alfonso of Spain was

demic In 1893 and again this summer,;
Spanish authorities repudiate any;
claim to Influenza as a "Spanish" dls
If the people of this country do:

not take care the epidemic will be
.come so widespread throughout the
United States that soon we shall hear
the disease called "American" lnftu
enza.
In response to a request for definite
Information concerning Spanish influ
enza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of
the U. S. Public Health Service has
authorized the following official Inter
view :
What la Spanlih Influenza? la it
something new? Does it come from
Spain?
"The disease now occurring In this
country and called 'Spanish Influen
za' resembles a very contagious kind
of 'cold, 1 accompanied by fever, pains
Coughs and Sneezes

In the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts of the body and a feeling of se
vere sickness. In most of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated oases die. Whether
this so-called 'Spanish' Influenza Is
identical with the epidemics of Influen
za of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of Influenza have visited
this country since 1647 . It Is Interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of Influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
ilized world. Three years later there
was another flare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
"Although the present epidemic Is
called 'Spanish Influenza,' there Is no
reason to believe that It originated In
Spain. Some writers who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
ment»n the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer aut!
fall of 1917 ."
How can "Spanish Influenza" be rec
ognized?
i
"There Is as yet no certain way In
which a single ease of 'Spanish Influ
enza' can be recognized. On the oth- i
er hand, recognition Is easy where j
there Is a group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the 1
cold mouths, epidemics of Influenza
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic raged mast
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 sudden in their I
onset as they are In Influenza. Final ;
ly, ordinary colds do not spread;
through the community so rapidly ot |
so extensively as does Influenza. |
Jn most cases a person taken sick :
with Influenza feels sick rather sud
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the '
eyes, eng, head or back, and may be
sore ; 11 over. Many patients feel
dizz\ some vomit. Most of the pa
tients complain of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever In which ttje
temperature rises to 1 QJ to 104 . In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
"In appeartfiee one Is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. Fils
eyes and the Inner side of his eyelids
may he slightly 'bloodshot, or 'eon
gested, as the doctons say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
of a cold may not be marked : never
;
j
theiess the patient looks and feels very
sick.
"In addition to the appearance nnd
the symptoms as already described,
examination of the patient's blood may!
aid the physician in recognizing 'Span
iah influenza,' for U has been found
ë nüinbér of
I (white corpuscles shows little or no lu
! grease above the normal. It Is possl
' ble that the laboratory Investigations
(now being made through the National
(Research Council and the United
.States Hygienic Laboratory will fur
'nlsh a more certain way In which Indi
vidual cases of this disease can be
recognized."

But while the proportion of
.cover*.
.deaths in the present epidemic has
generally been low, In some places the
'outbreak has been severe and deaths
When death oc
have been numerous,
curs .It Is usually the result of a com
plication."
What causes the disease and how fa
It spread?
"Bacteriologists who have studied in
fluenza epidemics In the past have
found In many of the cases a very
Small rod-shaped germ called, after Its
discoverer, PfelfTer's bacillus. In other
cases of apparently the same kind of
disease there were found pneumococci,
the genus of lobar pneumonia. Still
others have been caused by strepto
cocci, and by other» germs with long,
comes.
"No matter what particular kind of
germ causes the epidemic, It Is now,
believed ttrat Influenza Is always
the.
spread from person to person,
germs being carried with the air along
with the very small droplets of mucus,
expelled by coughing or sneezing,
forceful talking, and the like by onei
who already has the germs of the dis
ease. They may also be carried about
In the air In the form of dust coming
from dried mucus, from coughing and
sneezing, or from careless people who
spit on the floor nnd on the sidewalk.
As In most other catching diseases, a
person who has only a mild attack Of
the disease himself may give a very
severe attack to others."
What should be done by those who
catch the disease?
"It Is very Important that every per
son who becomes sick with Influenza
should go home at once and go to bed.
This will help keep away dangerous
«implications and will, at the same
time, keep the patient from scattering
the .disease far and wide. It Is highly
desirable that no one be allowed to
sleep In the same room with the pa
tient In fact, no one but the nurse
should be allowed In the room.
"If there Is cough and sputum or
running of the eyes and nose, care
should be taken that all such dis
charges are collected on bits of gauze
o- rag or paper napkins and burned.
If the patient complains of fever and
headache, he should be given water to
drink, a cold compress to the forehead
and a light sponge. Only such medi
cine should be given as Is prescribed
by the doctor. It Is foolish to ask the
druggist to prose Si bo and may be dan
gerous to take the so-called 'safe, sure
and harmless' remedies advertised by
patent medicine manufacturers.
"If the patient Is so situated that he
can be attended only by some one who
must also look after others In the fam
ily, It Is advisable that such attendant
wear a wrapper, apron or gown over
thç ordinary house clothes while In the
skik room and slip this off when leav
ing to look after the others.
"Nurses and attendants will do well
to guard against breathing In danger
ous disease germs by wearing a simple
fold of gauze or mask while near the
patient."
Will a person who has had Influenza
before catch the disease again?
"It Is well known that an attack of
measles or scarlet fever or smallpox
usually protects a person against an
other attack of the same disease. This
appears not to be true of 'Spanish in
fluenza.' According to newspaper re
ports the King of Spain suffered an
attack of Influenza during the epi
demic thirty years ago, and was again
stricken during the recent outbreak In
Spain."
How can one guard against Influ
enza?
Is
In
"In guarding against disease of all
kinds, It Is Important that the body be
kept strong and able to fight off dis
ease germs. This can be done by hav
ing a proper proportion of work, play
i and rest, by keeping the body well
clothed, and by eating sufficient whole
