He was struck with the closeness of diagnosis as shown in the hospital and othe medi ports which they showed him. He found that influenza is a growth of Russian soil, when not a raging malady is a smoldering . The way the people live in winter,locked up in heated houses, the flatness of the soil, ats con- Dad drainage and universally sodden ion when the April thaw begins: the filthiness of the farm yards, the village streets and the rivers, which become suddenly swollen, and on falling leave a putrid mud behind, ali conduce to makeintluenza endemic. Its microbe is. in fact, to be found in thix mud. Dr. Tessier is ita strepso-bacillus. What is peculiar in this disease is the alliance with this bacillus of pneumococcus, which also lives in Russian marshes, river mud and village pools. The strepsococeus first gets hold of the human or- garism and then the pneumococcus enters, like camp followers behind an army. It lodges in the chest, and shows its presence in pleurisy and pneumonia. Dr. Tessier does not believe the dengue fever is identical with influenza, thongh they resemble each other. They are both ‘infectious and contagious, and are best propagated when the air is warm and moistand the barometer low. eS ———— The Window Glass Trust.
