INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.
THE MALADY’S ACTUAL CAUSES.
LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF SUBJECT.
In the course of his address of preventive medicine at Cambridge last week Dr. McCredy, of the Public Health Department, Auckland, briefly touched on the subject of influenza, saying that preventive medicine had not been able to do a great deal to prevent the frequent outbreaks of this disease. Experts were s,till endeavouring to ascertain the cause of influenza, and when more was known of it they would be able to do better preventive work. At present, without drawing a ring 'round the place where the illness- was prevalent, they were really not able to do very much. The speaker s.aid it was questionable whether influenza, In some form or other, was not always present, but at present they were not able to say why it should suddenly spring up and carry death to great numbers of people throughout the world.
