The Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918

The Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918. An Account of Its Ravages in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and the Efforts Made to Combat and Subdue It. History records many instances of epidemics, famines and wars, where measures of relief were taken for those who were most sorely afflicted, and the battlefields of our recent war scintillate with heroism. Individuals, platoons, whole companies and regiments offered themselves for their fellow men, and future historians will vie with one another in their endeavor to have live the thousands of heroic incidents in the great World War, to the end that they may serve as lamps for the feet of coming generations of freemen.
