INFLUENZA STUDY
CONTINUES BAFFLE
SCIENCE STUDENTS
BIG 1918 EPIDEMIC SERVED TO
EMPHASIZE MEAGERNESS
OF KNOWLEDGE
WASHINGTON, Jan.. 8, (A3)—
Science has made little progress in
solving the baffling problem of the
cause and control of influenza since
the wor'd wide epidemic of 1918, but
nevertheless has a somewhat better
understanding of the disease than
at that time.
Altho well known health authori
ties disagree on methods for pre
vention of the spread of the disease,
virtually all, including Surgeon
General Hugh S. Cummings of the
Public Health Service, are in accord
that persons who develop it should
go to bed at once and stay there
until they have recovered definite
ly. General adoption of such pro
cedure. they believe, would save
many lives.
Epidemics of influenza ha/e
swept the world at intervals for sev
eral centuries. The major epidem
ics have come about once every 30
vears, with lesser outbreaks inter
vening indicating insofar as such
statistics can be relied upon that
the present situation in America'
probably falls into the latter classi
fication.
The big 1918 epidemic served to
emphasize the meagerness of exact
knowledge about the disease and
stimulated research workers every
where to greater efforts than ever
had been made before to meet the
deficiency. This work has continu- I
cd without discouragement lack of
progress acting on the scientificj
mind as an added stimulus rather i
"han a hindrance.
The investigators have learned, j
more definitely than known before, j
that the disease is communicabl „!
xnd that it apparently can be
spread by persons who are seeming -
v in good health as well as by those
who aie infected.
The germ which, before the 1913
epidemic, generally was credited as
:he cause of the disease, now is re
garded by Public Health Service au
thorities as having little influence
n that direction.
A number of different germs
iBve been identified with the con
lit ion in the last 10 years, but none
ras been found present consistently
eaving the bacteriological aspect
>f the problem in considerable con
tusion.
