THE EPIDEMIC LA GRIPPE. "RUSSIAN INFLUENZA" CAUSED BY AN INFUSORIAL PARASITE. AAthiimtofl Clliaris a Familiar Acquaint ance of Scientists for Years Past—How He Looks Under a Microscope—Blundering Doctors Treat Him as "a Common Cold." Telegraphic reports of the spread of the so called "Russian influenza," or "la grippe," demonstrate that it is a veritable epidemic. Each victim is likely to prove a center of infection for all about him. So it spread fast in Europe and it lias al ready shown itself at least to some ex tent in America. And it has always been communicated by infection as now. Phy sicians many of them ignorantly treated it as "a cold," doing more harm than good. V 6 According to newspaper reports there are even yet gentlemen writing "M. D." after their names who say: "We hope we shall Rucceed in locating the 'grippe' bacillus." That was done with scientific perfection as long ago as 1865, by Dr. J. H. Salisbury, of New York city. Dr. Salisbury was in charge of the state laboratory of New York, under the state geological survey, from 18-16 to 1834, is known to scientists ail over the world as an eminent living microseopist, and lias treated many thousands of cases of this disease. As long ago as 1878 lie gave to the world, through Dr. Haider's "Zeitschrift fur Parisitenkunde (Jena, Prussia) the world's leading journal of microscopy— the results of his long continued and ex haustive study of the animnJcular organ isms causing this disease, named by him asthmatos ciliaris. W. Savilie Kent's great " Manual of tlie Infusoria" —throe large volumes published in London in 1883, nisi universally recognized as the highest authority—recognized and con firmed I Jr. Salisbury's discovery of the interesting little creature, and honored it, from a scientific point of view, as the first and only known representative of tile genus asthmatos (the name given to it by its discoverer). Dr. Salisbury's in The Zeit schrift fur Parisitenkunde gave tiie name "infusorial catarrh" to the dis ease, and presented the following por traits of asthmatos ciliaris—its cause. The descriptive article contributed by him to the journal in question was as follow^: Infusorial catarrh is purely a parasitic disease, arising from a jieculiar aniinalcular organism armed upon one side with cilia. This organism assumes a great variety of shapes and sizes. By watching its development and metamorphoses un der the microscope, it may be seen to transform itself into all the different forms represented in the figures from Ito IT. The mcftt usual shapes appear to l>e either spherical or oval, as seen in Figs. 1 to 8. Koch frequently sends out a pro boscis, at the end of which in a dilated and elon gated cilium, as represented at 1-1, 15, 10 and 17. This proboscis may be iu the center of the mass of cilia, as at 15 or 10, or at one side, as at M and 17. It may h? drawn iu, leaving a nipple like eleva tion, as at 10, or may disappear entirely, leaving the orguntein oval (8) or spherical (6). The pro boscis oi ten only partially disappears, or is only partially drawn in, while a constriction occurs in the form, as represented at 13 and 14. It may bo simply a largely dilated ciliuin, as at 17 and 18, or the cell walls may go out, forming a more or Jess sharp protuberance, as at 15; or the walls may go still further out, forming a more or less fusiform organism, as at 10. The young are developed within the parent cell, and when mature are discharged at the end of the organism opposite the cilia, as seen at Fig. 18. The parent becomes quito dilated before deliver ing; and as the young one is discharged the par ent|cell becomes shrunken and shriveled for a time. The nurture soon, however, closes, the wrinkled, shriveled condition of the sac walls dis appears and the parent moves about again, fresh, plump and lively as ever. The cilia are in active motion during the greater part of the life exist ence of the animal, and produce a most aggravat ing irritation of the luucons surfaces. The young organisms 1. g, 8, 4, 5 and 6, have a rolling, rock ing, vibrating motion from side to side, making about one-thud of a revolution on the transverse axis at each oscillation. The more mature ceils either vibrate slightly or have a tremulous mo tion, their cilia not moving altogether an at fi, but vibrating in different directions. Symptoms—After once obtaining a foothold on the mucous surfaces of the air itassages they multiply rapidly. At first they attack the mucous surfaces of the eye and nose, causing free secre tion of tears and thin mucus, and often intense paroxysms of sneezing. ThoorganLsms gradually travel from the nasal surfaces down into the fauces larynx, trachea and larger and smaller bronchil As soon as they reach the fauces there #' aITT" . %# to it 11 is a burning boat arid irritation in the parts that excites severe coSgbing. This tendency i o cough constantly increases as they and the irritation gradually travel farther and farther down the air passages When the larger bronchii arc reached a heavy, hot, feverish pain is felt in the parts they invade, accompanied by flushes of heat and fever. Tliis stago is accompanied by most intense paroxysms of coughing, which aro frequently longaud most painfuEspecially in the morning. If the parasite makes its way into the smaller bronchii and air cells asthmatic symptoms of a distressing character often supervene. The dis ease may continue according to the temperament and constitution and state of health of the pa tient; the irritation assumes a chronic form, and the sufferings gradually grow less and less till they disappear. In irritable, serisitlvo constitu tions the irritation in the fauces, larynx, pharynx and bronchii becomes HO great that the parts spasmodically close in attempts to swallow or to inhale air charged with anything which excites inflamed parts. I have no doubt from what I have seen that death may have occasionally occurred in the acute stage of this disease, from spasms of the pharynx aud epiglottis. Secretion -The cells of the mucus, first secreted froin the surface invaded, are large, round mucus cells not differing materially from those in health. Soon, however, they tagiii to bo shrunken and Jagged, and in a few days they assume—many of them—the appearance and characters of pus cells (muco-pus) The secretion is thin, clear and wa tery at lirst, and small in quantity—soon becom ing thicker and more turbid. The cough is short and somewhat painful, ami the invaded surfaces feel irritated, raw and hot. The cough raises but a small quantity at each time, ami relieves the irritation ami itching but for a few moments. "Whenever the parasites are developing rapidly on the velum palatl most intense paroxysms of coughing are excited, which are long ami persis tent and painful, and sometimes are uccompanied by severe spasms of the epiglottis. Often an irritation and itching will be felt on one side of the throat only—exciting constant do sirq to cough. In such cases the irritation will always l>e on the side ou which the uasal passage is closed. Under such circumstances, inhaling remedies through the mouth very often foils to check the coughing more than a few moments. By clearing the closed up nnsal passage and In haling through it the coughing and irritation are soon checked. The reason of this is, that the parasites are developing rapidly on the posterior surface of the wing of the palate on the side of the nasal stoppage, and are constantly working down into the larynx and pharynx on that side. Asthmatic .Symptoms When the parasites reach the smaller bronchi! and air cells—espe cially in irritable ami sensitive constitutions— asthmatic symptoms begin to show themselves, and often become distressing and almost unen durable. Any excitement in the circulation ag gravates the symptoms. Tire evening and night air always increase the sufferings. Contagion —This disease belongs to those that may be transmitted from one individual to an other, though the transmission is not very readily accomplished. In working very closely over about sixty cases of the disease, examining the sputa under the microscope for many hours together in each instance, and in several severe attacks, de voting days to the examinations, I have taken tlie disease but Hix times myself, and in two in stances 11 jive transmitted it to iny family. I have usually begun to feel symptoms of the presence of the parasite in from four to eight days after beginning to treat u case. In all of my late cases, I should state that I have taken th<s precaution to inhalen solution of crystallized carbolic acid, one drachm to the pint of water, every two or three hours, and to take twenty drops tincture ferri chlorid in a tumbler of water two hours after each meal. This course has lately protected me from taking the disease. Treatment—All means ordinarily used for cokls and coughs are worse than useless in this disease. While they tend to get the system out of order they do not retard the development and progress of the cause. The only remedies that do any good are such as either destroy or retard the growth and reproductiveness of the parasites. Fortunately wo have many agents belonging to this class, among which are carbolic acid, tinct. ferri-clilorid, quinia stilpb., sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric ncid, etc., all of which reme dies should be in solution with sufficient water, so that they can le inhaled without producing irrita tion. The inhalations should be made freely and as often as every hour or two. In addition to in haling, give two grains of quinia sulph. every four hours, and twenty drops of tinct. ferri-clilorid in n gloss of water morning, noon and night. It Is surprising how much a single thorough iuhalation will relievo a suffering patient. If the sputa Is ex amined before the first inhalation and then again after it, a remarkable difference will he observed in the condition of tlio parasites. Before inhala tion they are all in active motion; after it, if thor oughly done, they will nearly ull be found either dead or motionless. By Inhaling at short; intervals and thoroughly one leaves no chance for the parasites to get very numerous; and sodh the follicles become perme ated with the inhaled materials, and the cause is entirely destroyed. 11 * 17 18 Asthmatos Ciliaris (Salisbury).—l have taken the liberty to give this little parasite a name— which, perhaps, a more extended acquaintance may deprive it of. It may be found to be one of the many forms that are already described that inhabit stagnant and running waters, and under certain conditions fermenting organic matter. The fi ruivs from 1 to 18 represent the different phas< ;. its existence. They are magnified from 3001 i ) diameters. In Figs. 7. 8, 14, 15, 10 and 17 nr.- .• ii the young cell developing inside the pare lit ceil Dr. J. 11. Salisbury, upon being asked if be had anything new to add now to what be had written in 1873,"replied: "No more than a recommendation to inhale menthol and camphor. Both are do structivo to the life of the animalcule, the former particularly so. If attacked promptly, the living organisms can all be killed off within twenty-four hours, thougli more are likely to be reproduced germs for three or four days, and the disease will re-establish itself if the treatment is not kept up for that length of time. If allowed to run its course without treatment the diseaso will last about a month. By the end of that time these infusorial organisms will have so poisoned the secretions and the surfaces of the tissues they infest that they can no longer live in them and the disease will 'get well of itself.' "Until then the affected person spreads them abroad for the infection of others, not simply in the secretions discharged from his nose and throftt, but by his breath. I have a great many cases of the diseaso to treat, and would catch it every day of my life if 1 did not con stantly employ preventive measures, the principal of which is the inhalation of menthol. As it is, Ido not have it more than two or three times a year, and then, of course, put a stop to it very quickly. It is not nt.all dangerous and is easy of cure, if properly treated." To give the inquirer a view of the di minutive : ranger Dr. Salisbury pro cured roi " discharges from the nose ami throat of a patient who had been at tacked oy "la grippe" the day before and uutli-r treatment for about twenty hours, ami it them under a magnify ing power ( i -100 diameters in tin- micro scope. No living organisms were found in the specimen of secretion from the nose, hut in that from tiio throat two lively specimens of asthmatos ciliaris presented themselves. One was exactly like Fig. 3, only that the cilia were shorter than in the illustration; the other was threo times as large, swollen with young and box - e a fringe of cilia on one end, like Fig. 14, except that thero was no proboscis visiblo. The ciliary motion was clearly observable in both, and in the larger one there was also a percepti ble pulsating movement in the swollen cgnter. It may be positively affirmed that now', thanks to Dr. Salisbury, wo know all that is to be known about "la grippe." J. H.
