EjSjbtaiuiU, is issued by Dr. B. F. Bond,
pTgounty health commissioner, in

Following is the extract from the
^Washington report:

currenCe of last year's experience.
“The statements submitted below
are about all that can bo said with
any measure of assurance There is
such a widespread fear of influenza
that the Public Health Service has
suggested that the press publish
these statements in full so that the
public and even the medical pro
fession may draw their own con
clusions.
“It will be observed that no men
tion has been made of a cure,
specific. So far as the most careful
scientific investigations have been
able to determine, none has been dis
covered; the suggested remedies
which give more encouragement are
even now in their experimental stage.
"Evidence collected during last
year’s pandemic points strongly to in
fected eating and drinking utensils,
especially in places where food and
drink are sold to the public, as be
ing one of the modes of transmission
of the disease. In some municipali
ties this matter has already been
made the subject of regulation, but
the enforcement of the regulations
often leaves much to be desired.
Be'Prepared, i. Advice.
"The following are the statements
which have been issued by the Serv
ice:
Probably, but by no means cer
tainly, there will be a 'recurrence
of the influenza epidemic this year.
“Indications are, that should it oc
cur, it will not be as severe as the
previous pandemic.
"City officials, state and city boards
of health, should be prepared in the
event of a recurrence.
"The fact that a previous attack
brings immunity in a certain percent,
age of cases should allay fear on the
part of those afflicted in the previous
epidemic.
“Influenza is spread by direct and
indirect contact. , .
"It isn’t yet certain that the germ
has been isolated ,or discovered,
and as a consequence there is yet
no positive preventive .except the
enforcement of rigid rules of sani
tation and the avoidance of personal
contact. ,
"A close relation betwe’en the in
fluenza pandemic and the constantly
increasing pneumonia mortality rate
prior to the' fall''of 1918 is recog
nised.
SjHBj Sow believed that the dis
ease Whs pretty widely disseminated
throughout the country before it was
recognized in its epidemic state. This
failure to recognize the early cases
appears to have largely been due to
th'e fact that every interest was then
centered on the war."
Dr. Bond’s Statement.
In connection with the foregoing,
Dr. Bond gave out the following
statement:
“With the foregoing statements
and in view of the fact we have a
few cases of influenza reported In
Sumter county, it is of the utmost
importance that we use proper care
now. As stated above, ‘the evidence
collected during last year’s pandemic
pointa strongly to infected eating and
drinking utensils, especially in places
where food and drink are aold to the
public, as being one of the modes
f transmission of this disease.’
“The ordinances of the City of Am
ericas fully cover this important
prophylactic measure and now is the
time to make sure that the steriliza
tion is thorough. In all places where
ood or drinks are served all the uten
sils used should bo washed thoroughly
and sterilized in boiling water or
placed in a steam sterilizer. Places
without the facilities to sterilize the
glasses and utensils and only selling
bottle drinks should serve from the
bottles only. By observing these
sanitary methods you are doing your
‘bjt’ to prevent a recurrence of pan-

precautionary measures, and I do not
