American Bluejackets Thrive On
"Flu" Germs; Doctors Baffled
. One Hundred Boys from Navy Faee Possible Death
in Effort to Check Spread of Disease:-Inoculat
ed With Germs, Eut Not One Takes Disease
Washington.—Distinguished, serv
ice medals may never "d'orn their
blouses, but American bluejackets
recently faced possibly death as un
flimhingly as any of the destroyer
.heroes who battled U-boats. Theser
men comprise the "Uu" squad of
tuc navy. Under the supervision of
niivl surgeons they have time and
i"-in exposed themselves to the
deadly germs. Thev have inhaled
I "Hu" microbes. They have had the
! little "flu" bugs injected into their
veirs. They have taken in the
cause of the "flu" epidemic in every
ki.own form.
Nary phsicians wanted to estab
lish the nature of the "flu" germ
and something of the way in which,
the disease is spread. They called
for voluntas rs who would expose
"xemselves to it, as the band of
heioic physicians in tl:e famous
"yellow fever squad" did in solving
the mystery of yellow fever.
Knowing that thousands of vic
tims of the "flu" had d'.ed these
100 sailors volunteered for the
duty,
but to the astonishment of the
physicians of the navy and of the
puolic Health service, not a man
so exposed or inoculated developed
any symptoms of the "flu," Medical
[science is baffled. Every man should'
|ha\e oeen in bed seriously ill if j
[ medical science knew anything of
the nature of the deadly epidemic.
But not a man developed even a
fever or cold.
♦be puulic health service record of
the experiments. They were carried
ou in Boston and s>au Fraucisco.
Thirty men at Boston were in
oculated with secretions, filtered
aud unfiltered from the upper re*
liosi'ory passages of a topical case
of iuflu-enza in the active stage of .
the disease. The material was in
troduced* into the nose and throats j
of members of the "iuiluenza squad'*
by sorays and swabs.
Each of the 30 kept ou showing
the most amazing health. Ten vol*
u«teers visited the Chelsea naval
hospital and allowed influenza pa
tients to cough and sneeze in their
faces. Each wag exposed to the
iuf uenza for about three-quarters
of an hour. And all continued1 dis
gustingly healthy.
Blood from five patients with tyu*
ic^l cases of influenza was inject
ed into the veins of ten men of
the squad. None became ill.
Pur© cultures of the "influenza
bacillus,'*so isolated and determined
| by medical science, we.e introduced
in tile nost.rU* of members of the
l squad; a filtered suspension o( wash
| ings from tlio upper ai\* passages of
j an acute caae of Influenza was
dripbed in the eyes of tyo members
and more was injected into anoth
er with a liypod'erinic needle; but
I none took the influenza. The influ
enza is a mystery, that "a all. Sci
ence is still baffled.
"Sanitarians will do well," Sur
geon General Blue comments, "to
go on applying the general orinci
jples of control that are based on
thp justifiable assumpion that the i
discjaso is a droplet infection. I be- j
llieve, however, that we have not
given enough consideration to the
hands and mouth as a part of in
fection, nor have we sufficiently em*
phasized the possible infectivity of
tne earliest stages of the disease."
The public health service expects
to continue the exeriments and the
100 heroe of the influenza squad
will again and again expose them
selves to the fatal epidemic with
'he hope that the veil may be lifted
an J humanity made safe from it.
