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 Cattle chains are needed and new supplies are hard to get and up in price.

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..
