come so widespread throughout the

the disease called "American" influ

In response to n rerpiest for definite
Information concerning Spanish Itulo-
cnz.n, Surgeon (Jen era I Rupert blue of
the U. S. Public Health Service tuts
authorized the following ofllclul Inter
view :
What is Spanish Influenza? lu it
eomething new? Does it come from
Spain?
"The disease now occurring In this
country ami called ‘Spanish Influen

of ’cohi’ accompanied by fever, pulns

"No matter what particular kind of
germ onuses the epidemic, It is now deis to take the inside coarse, that is
believed Hint Influenza Is always up the const of Nicnrnuga and Mexico
spread from person to person, the through the Yucatan Channel in'n the
germs being carried with the air along around the West end of Cuba

In the bend, eyes, rare, bnck or other
parts of the body and a feeling of se
vere sickness. In most of the enses the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Home of the patients, however,
develop pnoumonln, or Inflanmmtlon
of tho enr, or meningitis, nnd mnny of
these complicated Cases die. Whether
this so-called ‘Spniilsli’ Influenza Is
Identical with tho epidemics of Influen
za of earlier years Is not yet known,
"Epidemics of Influenza have visited
this country since 1(117. It Is Interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought hero from Ynlcncla,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of tho dis
ease. In ISS'.I and 1800 on epidemic
of Influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread llrst 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 tho epidemic
came from the Orient nnd they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front in the summer nnd
lull of 1017.”
How can "Spanish influenza” be rec
ognized?
“There is ns yet no certain way in '
which u single case of 'Spanish influ-;
enz.n’ cun he recognized. On tlie oth-j
er hand, recognition Is easy where;
there Is a group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
nnd colds, which usually occur In the
cold months, epidemics of Influenza
may occur at any season of tho 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.cn In their
onset ns they are In influenza. Final
ly, ordinary eolds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively ns does Influenza.
“In most enses a person taken sick
with Influenz.n feels sick rather sud
denly. lie feels weak, lias pains In the
eyes, oars, head or hark, and may ho
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pu-
tlents complain of feeling chilly, and
spit on tlie floor nnd on the sidewalk
As In most other cntchlng diseases, n
person who has only n 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 nt once nnd go to bed.
This will help keep nwny dnngerous
complications and will, at the same
lime, keep the patient from scattering
the disease far nnd wide. It Is highly
desirable that no one be allowed to
sleep In the same room with- the pn-
tlont. In fnct, no one but tho nurse
should be allowed In the room.

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?
"In gunrding ngnlnst dlsense of all
kinds, It Is Important that the body he
kept strong and able to tight off dis
ease germs. This can hi* done by haw
ing a proper proportion of work, play
nnd rest, by keeping tho body well
i clothed, nnd by eating sulllclent whole
some and properly selected food. In
; connection with diet, It Is well to re-
1 member that mljk Is one of tlie best
I all-around foods obtainable for adults
as well its children. So far as a dls-
' ease like Influenza Is ooncerned, health
authorities everywhere recognize the
very close relation between Its spread
and overcrowded homes. While It Is
not always possible, especially In
times like tho present, to avoid such
overcrowding, people should consider
the health dnnger and make every
effort to reduce the heme overcrowd
ing to a minimum. The value of fresh
air through open windows cannot Ub
over emphasized.
“When crowding Is unavoidable, as

with this comes a fever In which the Hnothl . r pprson
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remuins relative-1
ly slow.
"In appearance one Is struck by the -
fact that the patient looks sick. Ills
eyes and the inner side of Ills eyelids i
irmy be slightly ‘bloodshot,’ or 'con
gested,' as the doctors say. There
may he running front the nose,
there mny he some cough. These signs
of a cold mny not be marked ; never
theless the patient looks nnd feels very

DEATH OF MR. OLIN BYRD
“In tin* midst of life, we arc in

has been tho scene of sad be
reavement.

Saturday the 13th inst., followed in
ipiiek succession by tin* death of Mr.
Byrd himself, who departed this life
on the 2fltli—just one week after tlie
dentil of liis devoted wife.
Olin had been in failing health for
quite a long while and his death was
not a surprise to his neighbors and
friends who frequently visited him in
his serious affliction.
Me was 39 yoarS of age, born and
reared nt tin* same home where lie died,
and where lie lived in the confidence
and high esteem of the people of the
entire community where li is quiet and
upright life had been spent. Me was
a member of tho M. P. church at New
'ope and will be missed by tho church
in her fellowship.
Me. was married August 27th, 1899, to
Miss Addie McLeod, a beloved member
of Beulah church, who recently pre
ceded him to tlu* home beyond. For
near n score of years, together they
liVed and loved, till their life journey
ended, and loving friends laid them side
by side to rest in Beulah’s quiet church
yard, where they wait the resurrection
morn.
The bereaved relatives have the sym
pathy of many friends. May each one
he comforted by the sweet consolation
of hope. ■ W. W. R.
