Show Influenza's Cradle. Trofessor Tessier of the medical faculty fac-ulty of Lyons linds influenza to be a growth of Russian soil, and a smouldering smould-ering maiady when not a raging one. Tho winter life of the people in close heated houses, the bad drainage of the level soil, the universally sodden condition con-dition during tho April thaw and the filthiness of the farmyards, streets and rivers, all tend to make this the home of influenza. The microbe of tho disease, dis-ease, in fact, exists in the putrid mud left by the river floods. |
