Abstract
THE discussion on influenza at the Royal Society of Medicine in November last summarises very completely our knowledge of this obscure epidemic disease. Sir Arthur Newsholme, in his opening remarks, expressed the opinion that influenza is a specific disease o recognisable in severe outbreaks, and pointed out that, with the exception of plague and cholera, it has on occasion travelled farther and more rapidly over the world than any other recognised disease, and that it is one over which preventive medicine so far has secured little or no control.
