DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
WARNING!
The indications are that Detroit has gone 'over the top" in its Influenza epidemic, but the Depart-
ment of Health wishes to issue a warning against any relaxation in precautionary measures.
If the worst is over, Detroit has passed through its ordeal creditably and with less loss titan other
large American cities.
But the Danger Is Not Over
MANY WILL STILL BE STRICKEN
One effect of the epidemic will be that Pneumonia and diseases of the throat and lungs will be un-
usually prevalent all winter.
The orders against spitting, coughing and sneezing, except into a handkerchief, will be enforced
indefinitely.
Floors of factories, stores and all public places should still be washed with an antiseptic solution.
Detroit's policy of early education of the public. keeping cool. avoiding excitement and panic, has
been vindicated. All war work has proceeded without any check.
Detroit Has Shown Itself Not Only
100% PATRIOTIC but also 100% COMMON SENSE
The Department of Health now requests that all precautionary measures be continued until the epi-
demic is entirely stamped out.
