About this book
The title page calls the book INFLUENZA, An Epidemiologic Study. The preface says that following every widespread epidemic or pandemic of influenza, the contemporary literature becomes virtually flooded with reports of scientific studies on the etiology and the epidemiology of the disease. The text says that the annual death rate from influenza in England and Wales did not at any time during this decade fall to anywhere near the figures that had prevailed consistently between 1860 and 1889.
The text says that Fränkel and Dublin point out that in a study of 70,729 policy holders of the Industrial Department of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the death rates for males and females were practically the same for both white and colored individuals. The text says that if we study epidemic influenza but once in thirty years, we will never become well acquainted with the disease. The text says it is surprising how much of the knowledge acquired in 1889 was forgotten by 1918.
