Abstract
MISS BETTS suggests that the exceptional incidence of influenza mortality during the pandemic of 1918–19 may have been caused by the exceptional war-conditions, leading to the greatly increased occupation of women, to overwork of these and of men, and to the state of health of ex-Service men. To these suggested causes may be added the effect of the rationing of food, which might affect to an exceptional extent the mothers of young children.
