SPANISH INFLUENZA
Precautions
1. Keep in mind that like most con-
tagions diseases, influenza is spread
liy contact, that Is, by the transfer Of
the poison from one person to another
It is spread by sneezing, coughing anil
spitting, at which times the discharge;:
from the nose and throat are scattered
i in the air.
| 2 Avoid crowds as much as possible,
| including moving picture place-*, thea-
tres and other assembly halls. When
leasiole avoid crowded street cars,
i a. When sneezing or coughing plare
] your handkerchief before your nose
j and mouth.
I. Make sure that you are properly
clothed m accordance with varying
changes in temperature, prevalent at
this time of year.
5. Fresh air is always good. Keep
your bedroom windows wide open and
secure as much sleep as possible.
(!. Keep the digestive organs in
good condition.
7. Drink water freely.
ij. Avoid common 'drinking cups
common towels and similar untensils.
9. Wash your hands frequently.
10. Use a mild antiseptic as a nose
spray or as a mouth gargle, especially
if your throat is sore or there is ten
doncy to sneezing.
II. If you have a "cold" use liten
' sils for your personal use, exclusively:
i or if you arc in contact with one so
j affocted becareful not to handle unten-
j sils used oy them.
12. Consult family physician at the
I first onset of symptoms suggestive of

Spanish Influenza Bulletin by Surgeon
General Blue of the United States
Public Health Scrvice
This bulletin is reprinted bv the
the Southwestern Division, American
Red Cross, at the request of the Gov
eminent. It is reprinted herewith at
the request of the Red Cross for the
benefit of the public. Its persual mav
be the means of saving you serious ill
ness.
The disease now oecuring in this
country and called "Spanish Influen-
za" resembles a very contagious kind
of "cold," accompanied by fever,
pains in the head, eyes, ears, back or
other parts of the body and a feeling
of severe sickness. In most of the
cases the symptoms disappear after
three or four days, the patient then
rapidly recovering; some of the pa-
tients then rapidly recovering; some
of the patients, however, develop pneu-
monia or iuflainatiou of the ear, or
meningitis, and many of those conipii
cated cases die. Whether this so-call
ed "Spanish" influenza is identical
with the epidemics of influenza of
earlier years is not yet known.
There is as yet no certain way in
which a single case of "Spanish" in-
fluenza can be recognized; on the
oilier hand, recognition is easy where
there is a group of cases, lu contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold mouths, epidemics of infleun/.a
may occur at any season of the year,
thus the present epidemic raged most
intensively in Europe in May, June
and .July Moreover, in the case of or
dinary colds, the general symptoms
(.fever, pain, depression) are by no
j means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are in iufleunza. Fin-
ally, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively as does infleunxn.
In most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back and may tie
sore all over. Many patients feel diz
zy, some vomit. Most of the patients
complain of feeling chilly, and with
this comes a fever in which the tem-
perature rises to 100 to 104.
In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may bo slightly "bloodshot" or con
gested" as the doctors say. There may
be running from the nose, or there may
be some cough. These signs of a cold
may not be marked; nevertheless the
patient looks and feels very sick.
Ordinarily the fever lasts from three
to four days and the patient recovers,
