THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. UNCLE SAM'S ADVICE ON FLU U. S. Public Health Service Issues Official Health Bulletin on Influenza. LATEST WORD ON SUBJECT. > Epidemic Probably Not Bpanlah In Origin—-Germ Still Unknown—Peo ple Should Guard Against "Droplet Infection"—Surgeon General Blue Makes Authoritative Statement. Washington, D. o.—(Special.) Al though King Alfonso of Spain was one of tho victims of the Influenza epi demic In 1893 and again this summer, Spanish authorities repudiate any claim to influenza ai a "Spanish" dis ease. If the people of this cpuntry do not take care the epidemic will be come so widespread throughout the United States that soon we shall hear tbe disease called "American" Influ enza. • In. response to -a request for definite information concerning Spanish influ enza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the U. S. Public Health Service has authorized the following official Inter view : What is Spanish Influenza? Is It something new? Does it come from Spain? "The disease now occurring In this country and cyled 'Spanish Influen za" resembles n very contagious kind of 'oold,' accompanied by fever, pains Coughs and Sneezes Spread Diseases As Dangerous aa Poison Cm Shells In tbe head, eyes, ears, back .or other parts of the body and a feeling of se vere sickness. In most of the cases the . symptoms disappear after three or four days, the patient then rapidly recover ing. Some of the patients, however, develop pneumonia, or Inflammation of the ear, or meningitis, and many of these complicated, cases die. Whether tilts so-called 'Spanish' Influenza Is Identical with the epidemics of influen za of earlier years is not yet known. "Epidemics of influenza have visited this country since 1847. It Is interest ing to know that this first epidemic was brought here from Valencia, Spain. Since that time there have been numerous epidemics of the dis ease. In. 1889 and 1890 an epidemic of Influenza, starting somewhere In the Orient, spreftd first to Russia and thence over practically the entire civ ilized world. Three years later there was another flare-up of tho disease. Both times the epidemic spread wide ly over tbe 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 the epidemic came from the Orient and tliey call at tention to the fact that the Germans mention the disease as occurring along the feast.ern front In the summer and fall of 1917." How can "Spanish Influenza" be rec ognized? "There is as yet no certain way In which a single case of 'Spanish influ enza' can be recognized. On the oth er hand, recognition Is easy where there is a group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs and colds, which usually occur In the cold months, epidemics of Influenza may occur at any season of the year. Thus the present epidemic raged most Intensely In, Europe in May, June and July. Moreover, in the ease of ordi nary colds, the general symptoms (fever, pain, depression) are by no means as severe or as sudden In their onset as they are in Influenza. Final ly, ordinary colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or so extensively as does Influenza. "In most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather sud denly. He feels weak, has puins in tiie eyes, ears, head or bpek, and may be sore ail over. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit. Most of:the pa tients complain of feeling chilly, and with this comes a fever in which the temperature rises to 100 to KM. In most cases the pulse remains relative ly slow. / "In appearafee one Is-struck by the fact that the patient looks sick. Ills eyes and the Inner side of his eyelids may bo slightly 'bloodshot,' or 'con gested,' as the doctors say. ¥hcre may be running from the nose, or there may be some cough. These signs of a cold may not be marked; never theless the patient looks and feels very alck. "In addition to the Appearance and the symptom* as already described, examination of the patient's blood may aid Ihe physician In recognizing 'Span ish' Influenza,' for It iiua I/ecu found • bat In ibis disease the number of white corpuscle* show* little or no In crease nbove the normal. It is po**l ble that the laboratory Investigation* now being made through the National Itesearch Council and the United State* Hygienic Laboratory will fur nish a more certain way In which Indi vidual cases of this disease can be recognized." What la the course of the dlseaseT Do people die of it? "Ordinarily, the fever lasts from three to/our days and the patient re covers. But while the proportion ef present epidemic baa I generally been low, In some glneeg tbe outbreak'lias bepn severe and deaths have been numeroub. When death oc curs It Is usually the result of a com plication." What causes the disease and how to. It spread? "Bacteriologists who have studied In fluenza epidemics.ln tbe past Jiavo found In many of the cases a very Small rod-shaped germ called, after Its discoverer, Pfelffer's bacillus. In other cases of apparently the same kind of (Msense there werefound pneumococcl, the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still others have been caused by strepto cocci, and by others germs with long names. ...... "No matter wtrat particular kind of germ causes the, eplfletplc, It la now believed that Influenza Is always spread from person to person, the .germs being carried"with the air along j with the very small droplets ofrjnucus, expelled by coughing or sneezing. I forceful talking, and the like by one who already has the germs of the dis ease. They may also be carried about In the air In the form of dust coming from dried mucus, from coughing and sneezing, Or from careless people who spit on the floor and on tjie sidewalk. As In most other catching diseases, a 1 person who has only a 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 at once and go to bed. This will help keep away dangerous complications andwlll," at the same time, keep.the paSrot from scattering the disease ffir and wide. It is highly I desirable that no one be allowed to > sleep in the same room with the pa- , tlent In fflct, tlo one but the nurse should be allowed In the room. "If there Is cough and sputum or running of tho eyes and nose, care j should be taken that all such dls- I charges are collected on bits of gauzo or rag or paper napkins and burned. If.tho patient complains of fever and headache, ho should be given water to | drink, a cold compress to the forehead | and a light sponge. OnJy such medi cine should be given as Is prescribed by the doetor. It Is foolish to ask the druggist to prescribe and may be dan gerous to take the so-called 'safe, suro and harmless' remedies advertised by ' patent medicine manufacturers. "If the patient Is so situated that ho ■ can be attended only by some one who must also look after others In the fam ily, It Is advisable that such attendant wear a wrapper," apron or gown over the ordinary house clothes while in the sick room and slip this off when leav ing to look affer the others. "NurseS and attendants will do well to guard against breathing in danger ous disease germs by wearing a simple fold of gauze or mask while near the patient" Will a person who ha* had Influenza before catch the disease again? "It Is well known that an attack of measles or scarlet fever or smallpox usually protects a person against an other attack of the same disease. This nppearr not to be true of 'Spanish in fluenza.' According to newspaper re ports the King of Spain suffered an attack of Influenza during tho epi demic thirty years ago, and was again stricken during the reqent outbreak In Spain." How can one guard against Influ enza? "In guarding against disease of all kinds, It Is Important that the body be kept strong and able to flglit off dis ease germs. This can be done by hav ing a proper proportion of work, play ond rest, hy keeping the body well clothed, and by eating sufficient whole some and properly selected food. In connection with diet. It Is well to re member that milk Is one of the best all-around foods obtainable for adults as welt as children. So far as a dis ease like Influenza Is concerned, health authorities everywhere recognize the very close relation between Its spreud and overcrowded homes. While It is not always possible, especially In times like the present, to avoid such overcrowding, people should consider the health danger and make every effort to reduce the home overcrowd ing to a minimum. The value of fresh air through open windows cannot be over emphasized. "When crowding Is unavoidable, as In street cars, care should'bo taken to keep the face so turned as not to In hale directly the air breathed out by another person. "It is especially Important to b» ware of the person who coughs ot sneezes without covering his mouth and nose. It also follows that one should keep out of crowds and stuffy places as much as possible, keep homes, offices and workshops well aired, spend some time out of doors each day, walk to work If at all prac ticable —In short, make every possible effort to breathe as much pure air aa possible. "In all heslth matters follow the ad vice of your doctor and obey the regu. latlona of your local nnd state healtl) otllcers" "Cover up each cough and sneeze, If you don't you'll spread disease."

OCTOBER 17, 1918 FACING EASTWARD ! ■ IN FULL RETREAT OUR ARMIES ARE STEADILY, PRESSING GERMANS BACK TOWARDS THEIR BORDER. HUGE SUCK IS BEING FORMED Americana Have Almoet Wiped Out, Argonne Forest as an Enemy Position of Defense. The men of the once formdlable German armeis holding tho Hinden-, burg line from north of Cambrai to St. Quentln are facing eastward, do- ! feated and in retreat. Their backs are the targets for the Brtiish, American and French troops who bitterly fought hem, step by step, out of supposedly Impregnable de-i tenses and sow are harrying them, across the open cotintry toward the, German border. Nowhere Is the enemy attempting a stand in force. True, the German border Is yet a' long distance away, but the past two days of chase have, materially decreas ed the width of the area separating the invaders from their own Rhine line. LeOateau, the • Important junction point 12 miles southeast of Cambrai, represented the point of deepest pene tration by the allied troops. The Brit ish were the masters of It. .All along the front, however, the Brtllsh, Amer ican and Frenchl have been steadily pressing forward their infantry forces, aking numerous towns and villages, while far In advance of them the hoof-beats of the cavalry horses inter mingled with the roays of the whippet tanks and the staccato barking of the machine guns Inside the moving forts. Meantime the French and Ameri can armies on that part of tbe line running from northwest of Rheims to the Meuse river are still pressing for ward in .the converging movement with tha armies in the west and grad ually are forming the entire war the ater into a huge sack. The Americans continue slowly to advance up the eastern side of the Meuse, while W3St of the river, in conjunction with the operations of the French, they have ail but obliterated the great Argonne forest as an enemy defense postilon. AMERICAN STEAMSHIP 18 BUNK ON WAY TO FRANCE Aj> Atlantic Port.—The American steamship Ticonderoga, a vessel of 6,130 tons, has been torpedoed and sunk on her way to France probably with a heavy loss of life. Twenty sur vivors of the ship, wounded or suffer ing from exposure, were brought here by a British-vessel to which they were transferred by another vessel which picked them up. There were 250 men aboard the Ticonderoga, an American steamship of 5,130 tons, and all but the 20 who arrived here, are believed to have per ished. The survivors got away In the only boat which was not demolish ed by the shellflre from the suzma rlne, they said. Seventeen of the men who reached port were members of a detachmnt of soldiers detailed to care for horses which were being transported. The Ticonderoga was attacked, pre sumably on October 2, when she fell behind her ionvoy because of onglne troubio.

The Germans In his section are offering hard opposilon with their rear guards Bu this may break at any time as It did to the southeast of Cambrai. TO PREVENT TURKEY FROM BEEKING BEPARATE PEACE Rome. —The Impression In Italian diplomatic circles is that one of the principal reasons for the German and Austrian movement in tho direction of peace was to prevent Turkey from seeking a separate peace. Turkey was told it Is understood that follnrwing the new German chancellor's speech and armistice proposals that there would be formed in all entente countries, and especially In America, peace parties.
