Every building ringing the church has been ruined by Nazi bombs, with
only ragged walls remaining standing. Radio transmission of the

How Disease Is Spread
The virus is present in the dis
charges from the mouth and nose.
Coughing and sneezing spray the
infecting agent into the air. These
small droplets of moisture may be
inhaled by persons nearby. Articles
freshly soiled with discharges from
the nose and throat of sick persons
iruy transfer the virus. There is no

Symptoms of Influenza
Symptoms of influenza are ob- i
within 24 to 72 hours fo 1
invasion of the body by the j
Typically, it is a more se- '
infection than the common ;
Fever and general muscular

“Flu” leaves the patient ex
hausted out of all to
the length of time he is ill.
The most serious and important
complication following influenza is
pneumonia, which may be severe
an( j sometimes fatal. Other serious
complications are infections of the
e ais or sinuses, and bronchitis.
Laboratory procedures have no
practical value in determining the
diagnosis of influenza with certain
ty. In its initial stages^ influenza is
frequently indistinguishable from
the common cold.
Precautions to Observe
It is believed that there is more
danger of spreading the disease
from persons in the early stages of
“flu” than from those ill enough to
be in bed or those who are recover
ing. In any case, unnecessary eon
tacts should be avoided. Since few
if any can hope to escape con
tact, it is not rational to become
panicky or to attempt to avoid in
fection in too elaborate ways. Ex
perience in previous epidemics has
t-mght some valuable lessons. The
closing of public, parochial and

Mrs. Wesley Budd was ctlied to
fective in checking the spread of
influenza. Relatively simple hy
gienic practices and rules of life
are the most helpful. The persons
who try to keep on their feet and
“stick it out” are those who con
tribute the greatest number to the
death rolls. In their weakened con
dition, secondary invading germs
gain a foothold and permit the de
velopment of serious complications.
In protecting himself from in
fluenza, an individual can generrl
ly do as much as any one else can
do for him, if not more.
What You Should Do Before
1. During an epidemic, avoid
needless contact with others, es
pecially people who are coughing,
sneezing or sniffling.
2. Cover all coughs or sneezes
weather, but take advantage of as
much open air and sunshine as you
can.
Be sure that your home is well
ventilated ?,t all times; but avoid
drafts.
4. Eat a well balanced diet:
drink plenty of water.
5. Guard against fatigue; get
plenty of rest and sleep.
6. Werr clothing suitable to the
weather.

Influenza, one of the most wide
spread and destructvie diseases of
man, still remains unconquered, al
though a number of the great epi-
1 i demic diseases have fallen before
the determined technicians of med
resporfeible ic al seance. Numerous factors e re

gress ih the prevention and control
0 f influenza. For example, the ex
act cause has not been determined
for ail types of influenza. The
short period of development with
out recognizable symptons permits
* be affected individuEj to continue
fore he is sick enough to go to bed.
Isolation of such large groups ;s
not practical. Finally, since im
munity following infection is of
.short duration, one year or less, a
significant proportion of the pop
ulation is continuously susceptible
to the disease,
What Causes Influenza
The cause of influenza is at pres
