HELADVICE.

Mr C. M. W. Reynolds, secretary of the Sanitary Board, writes On Saturday,In view of the presen ce of Influenza in the Colony I am directed to forward you the enclosed notes on Influenza by Dr W.W. Pearse, the Medical Officer of Health, and to ask as'n favour that you will publish it if you think it of sufficient interest to your readers.!"

NOTES OF INFLUENZA. Influenza is a disease, which *preads directly from person to per son. It is very infectious even in its early stages.

As is the case in many other dis- cases e,g. Cerebro-Spinal-Meningi tia, Diphtheria and Enterio Fever there occur mild cases which escape detection. There are also "car. riers" i.e. persona, who while not ill yet harbour the infective virits and are therefore capable of spreading the disease.

By such fersons the disease is maintained in a country during inter epidemic periods.

Method of Transmission.-The secretions from the nose, thrust and respiratory tract of an infected person spread the disease by inteo": ting the air in his immediate neigh-`| bourhood, especially by means of forced expirations e.g. coughing and sneezing. Therefore close as sociation with infected persons, even mild cases, is the cause of the spread of the infection.

It is not consulered probable that the virus, can maintain existence and multiply outside the body of a host. Apart from crowls, and where there is plenty of spaer and free ventilation the virus given off becomes sa diluted that the danger of infection is proportionately ro duced.

Preventive Measures.-These are

| largely individual undertakings and may be indicated by the following simple rules.

1. Avoid Crowds and public

gatherings.

2. Keep all rooms well ventilated. Consider that all persons suffer-
