Dr. Dan G. Stine Issues
Statement On Spread of
Disease.
The following statement was made
yesterday by Dr. D. G. Stine of the Uni
versity medical faculty:
A serious epidemic of influenza is
impending. Serious because of the
high mortality (about twice that of
typhoid) and because of its extreme
contagiousness. The infectious ma
terial is present in the secretions of
the nose and throat and is scattered
broad cast by sneezing and coughing.
Persons wishing to avoid the -ii-sease
should stay out of crowds or
when that is impossible should have n
clean pocket handkerchief that can
be held over the nose and mout.i as
a mask.
People feeling a desire to snsjzo
or cough should be considerate enough
to masK tne nose ana mouth with a
handkerchief. The first symptoms of
the disease are usually a chill follow
ed by fever and severe aching of the
head and body. Mild cases however
may present only the symptoms of
aching with the sensation of taking
cold.
At the onset of these or any like
symptoms one should immediately g(
to bed and send for a physician. Great
care should be exercised in regard to
exposure during convalesance as
pneumonia is a common and deadly
complication at this stage.
Patients suspected of having influ
enza should at once be removed from
immediate contact with well people
and their attendants should wear a
mask covering their nose and n uth
while caring for them.
Students should refrain from leav
ing towns on visits, nor should they
arrange for relatives or friends to
visit them.
The epidemic can be kept unler
control and this community made more
safe than the average if every one
will carefully and intelligently co-operate
in trying to observe the few
rules that will prevent the spread of
the contagion.
Every one with a cold should be re
garded and should regard themselves
with suspicion.
No one should cough or sneeze with
out first covering the mouth and nose.
Do not visit the sick and keep out of
crowds. Insist upon the proper se
gregation of those suffering from this
disease.
Rememer also that hysteria In b
face of an epidemic Is quite as mls
chievious and in the long run prove
as fatal as a panic in a burning build
ing. Plans are being made by. the Uni
versity Board of Health to control the
spread of the disease and the con
scientious co-operation of the student
body in following such rules as may
be announced is necessary to control
the epidemic If it should invade the
student body.
D. G. STINE
There have been no cases of Span
ish influenza developed among the sol
dieirs of jthe vocational section of the
S. A. T. C. and the S. A. T. C. officials
do not expect to have any cases since
ho mon In tho cjvttnn am timmlnoA !
three times a day and are not shut up
in hot houses like the students in the
University. It was (declared at the1
headquarters of the S. A. T. C. this
morning that it is the duty of each stu
dent who sees or hears of any case of
the influenza to report the same to
headquarters.
At Parker Memorial Hospital this
morning it was said that there are
some suspected cases of influenza in
the city and there Is flo doubt but that
the disease will appear here.
