Real Old Grip May Have Many
Dangerous Complications
Says Georgia State Board
of Health.
/'.tlanta, Ga. —When influenza,
yicmmor.ly called La Grippe or just
plain old "grip,” went around the
world in 1889-90, many were inclined
to look upon it as a harmless kind ol
fashionable disease, a viewpoint that
was speedily changed in those oca
lities where hospitals became charnel
houses, though this reputation clung
to it more or less strenuously for
some years.
But its dangerous qualities have
long since become well known as a
resalt of the numerous and serious
complications which may attend it;
in fact, there is scarcely any organ of
the body which is immune from the
effects cf it. And although it now ap
pears in milder form in the sporad c
or epidemic cases than in the pande
mic invasion which went around the
world, it is particularly severe and
dangerous, says the Georgia State
Board of Health, for old persons, and
for persons who are debilitated or
weak, persons given to alcholic li
quors, those who are too fat and
those suffering from heart and lung
troubles.
Influenza is an acute infectious dise
ase caused by what is known as the
bacillus of Pfeiffer, after the name
of its discoverer in 1892. It may be
communicated either by association
with persons affected or through in
halations in sections where it is or
has been prevalent. It has been known
to be contracted at sea where there
was no existing case, lending color
to the belief that the germ travels
through the air. It occurs either in
isolated cases, in epidemics or pan
demics.
Travels Around the World.
During the last century there were
four periods during which practically
every country in the world suffered
from the unusual prevalence of this
disease. The last pandemic occurred
in 1889-91. It started in Russia and
soon spread to Germany and Eng
land. Later it appeared in New York
and rapidly spread over North Ameri
ca. Soon practically the entire civi
lized.- world was affected. Since that
time influenza has been constantly
Ipresent in the United States, but in
V' er form.
uenza is one of the medical
e c, and not infrequently the in
cipi\A stages of tuberculosis, malaria,
ulcerated endocarditis and typhoid fe
ver are mistaken for it.
Grip may develop very suddenly,
as a rule in one to seven days. The
germs, gaining entrance to the res
piratory tract, multiply very rapidly.
All ages are suscepitble to the dise
ase, though infants under one year
old are seldom attacked. The great
est prevalence of the disease is dur
ing the winter and spring; a deficiency
of seems favorable to the
growth of the germs. One attack does
not confer immunity but seems to
predispose to others, though subse
quent attacks are not usually as se
vere. The danger lies not so much in
the disease itself as in the complica
tions which it may induce. Frequent
ly it predisposes one to an attack of
tuberculosis; it may set in action
tubercular garms which have been ly
ing dormant. A frequent accompani
ment of influenza is influenza-pneu
monia, differing from ordinary pneu
monia in Uiat it rarely terminates in
a crisis, usually dragging on for
weeks. Other complications are con
gestion of the kidneys and other or
gsins, diseases of the heart and blood
vessels, diseases of the ear and af
fections of the nervous system.
Symptoms of Influenza.
Grip may come on very suddenly,
noticed first in chilly sensations fol
lowed by a fever w'hich may reach
105 degrees, loss of appetite, head
ache, pain in the limbs and then a
sense of utter wretchedness. Lassi
tude, a cough, insomnia and a flush
ing of parts of the face as in scarla
tina, may accompany it. The patient
feels and seems desperately ill. Bron
chitis frequently develops accompan
ied by pains in' the chest, and may
be followed by pneumonia. The pa
tient becomes profoundly depressed,
the heart action may he feeble, the
skin relaxed and clammy, hot and
dry. Pneumonia and heart iallure
are the most frequent causes of
death following an atiack of influenza.
Meningitis, a particularly danger
ous complication, may also be caused
the influenza bacillus. Nervous

suffering from it should be isolated,
and all precautions taken to prevent

they are used. All iinen and body

physician. Even in the milder cases
the patient should go to bed, as test
is the best possible treatment for
the disease. There is no specific
remedy for influenza. Many drugs
have been used often with good ef
fect; at other times with varying de
grees of success, but these should
alwavs be administered under the
direction of a careful physician.
Warm baths are considered he pful,
and as a general rule seveie caution
is given against the use of alcoholic
stimulants. In the case of complica
tions arising from influenza, such
diseases should be treated in accord
ance with usual methods and always
under the direction of a competent
physician.
