Synopsis
Excerpt from Epidemic Influenza: A Study in Comparative Statistics
The remarkable prevalence of influenza during the last three or four years has given occasion for considerable additions to the already extensive literature of the disease 1. The phenomena of various outbreaks of this malady have been described and discussed at great length by numerous authorities, and in some respects with a completeness that leaves little to be desired. Nevertheless there still remain many points, relating especially to the actual nature and -aetiology of influenza, concerning which our knowledge is extremely imperfect; and it is as a contribution towards the better -understanding of these parts of the subject that the following pages have been written. They are the result of an extended investigation into the statistical materials which have been ac cumulating for many years past under the direction of the Registrar General; and which when carefully analysed and compared with such similar data as are available from foreign sources, seem likely to throw much light on what may be termed the natural history of diseases in general.
