SPANISH INFLUENZA
Seward . Oct., 8— Editor of the
Gateway- Will you please stat^ wha
the “Spanish Influenza” is that is
now prevailing in the states. Is it any
different from the old fashioned
grippe?” C.N
The Spanish influenza now sweep
ing the United states from the At
lantic to the Pacific is believed to he
the same kind of an epidemic as was
experienced in 1881). That year th ■
scourge was known as the Russian
influenza and there was an important
recrudescence of the epidemic in 18!”*
The epidemic of 1880 was brought to
the Pacific Coast by Russian peasan
try and crossed the continent in wav *s
Spanish influenza is perhaps only an
extremely virulent form of la grippe.
The symptons are exactly alike aid
isolation seems to he the cure to com
bat it.
