makes the alarming suggestion that
the epidemic which we call the. Span-
ish influenza may be nothing less than
the \malignant pneumonic . plague
which has ravaged China intermit-
tently for several years past. This
theory has been discussed by medical
men, and we are glacreto say that the
consensus appears to be against
That it is nothing but the grippe is
the verdict of Director Blue of the
United States Medical Service, but
this view is not wholly satisfactory to
doctors who have been used for
years peat to 'treating grippe pa-
tients, but not used to find them de-
velop .pneumonia, and die in a few
hours. The Russian inguenza of
some 20 years ago was as wide-
spread as the present epidemic, but,
if memory serves, it did not account
for anything like a proportionate
number of deaths. We have had re-
ports that the specific germ has
been isolated, but n� authoritative
statement as td the 'exact character
of it,' and iii this condition of doubt
it is only natural that various
theories shall& be; put forward.
Dr. King says that his attention
was called to the similarity of the
"flu" epideinic and the pneumonic
plague by an authority upon chi -
nese affairs, and that further exam-
ination disclosed sufficient points of
resemblance . to !arrant him in
making the suggestion that the dis-
eases are traceable to the same
source. In 1910, the pneumonic
plague appeared in Harbin, Man-
churia, which was the original hot-
bed of the disease. Earlier in the
year it had appeared in Russia, but
the Russians, alive to its menace,
took immediate acton and stamped
it out. It reached Harbin, it is sup-
posed, through the agency of Chinese
laborers and fur dealers returning
to their homes to celebrate their
New Year's Day, and owing to the
crowded condition of the city it
spread with great rapidity. • From
Harbin it reached out in all direc-
tions, usually following the railroads
and other routes of travel. It went
as far south as Chefoo, a seaport.
town, probably having been carried
there by Chinese coolies. By January,
24, 1911,no fewer than 1500 Chinese
and 2'7 Europeans, two of them medi-
cal men and one an assistant, had
died of it, Dr. King said that the
mortality was almost 100 per cent.
Since that time China has not been
wholly free from it, althought it has
not ragedso furiously as on its ap-
pearance, and he believes that it is
frorn China, and through the medi-
unt of the 200,000 or more Chinese
laborers who have been doing work
on the Western front that it • has
reached Europe and America. Many
of these laborers went by (way of

mtdiately after. Nor have we heard
ttiIt breaking out among The allied
soldiers behind whose lines the
Chinese were working. The disease
first appeared, as far as we know,
in the German army and the theory
is that it was conveyed by the cool-
ies, some of whom are assumed to
have been captured by the Germans
in their great Spring drive. "Hence,"
says the writer, "the outbreak of it
in the German army and its rapid
spread in Spain." The 'hence" does
not explain how Chinese coolies, the
prisoners of the Germans, communi-
cated the disease to Spain, although
undobutedly this present epidemic
first attracted general attention in
Spain, as its name proves.
, Dr. King compares the two dis-
eases, both clinically and from a
bacteriological standpoint. In the
Chinese epidemic there are few defin-
ite symptoms at the, outest except
the general malaise ,prostration and
loss of appetite soon to be followed
by the pneumonic process and death.
In the present epidemic there are
indefinite symptoms which generally
correspond to the aforementioned,
but whereas in China, according to
Dr. King, nenely an the sufferers
died, there has been no such per-
centage of deaths attending the
"flu", although, as he says, it is
more contagious, is followed 14re
frequently by pneumonia, and is at-
tended by a higher mortality than
in any previous influenza epidemic.
In the pneumonic plague the Bacil-
lus pestis was found almost- con-
stantly associated with pneumococ-
cus and the streptococcus. In the
present epidemic the influenza baeil-
lus has been found associated with
the four groups of pneumococci, the
Streptocuccus hemolyticus and the
Micrococcus catarrhalis and other
bad news.
Dr. King says that the influenza
bacillus and the Bacillus pestis in
typical forms may stimulate each
other, for organisms may assume ;
different forms and have different ;
cultural chacteristics in different
conditions. His theory, assuming
that the two epidemics are the /same,
is that the Bacillus pestis may have
been present in a non -virulent state
in the Chinese coolies and assumed
new vigor, virulence, and a some!
what different form when trans-
planted into virgin soil.
Thus he
explains the epidemics that have so
frequently followed great wars. If
a nation or tribe can survive any
disease long enough it will acquire
inimunity to that disease. When,
however, foreign/ people commingle
freely and intimately as in war epi -
dailies will break ' out; The inactive
non -virulent organisms in one race
will become virulent in some other
race, which has not acquired im-
extrnity to that specific organism.
This theory is sound enough, but, in
yiew of the weight of medical opin-
ion as expressel in the United States,
it would appear that the effort to
prove the indentity Of the pneumonic
plague with the Spanish influenza
must be disallowed..
