The report states the cause of the pandemic is still an unsolved problem, and the immediate outlook did not inspire confidence. Until there was a universal improvement in the standard of comfort and the condition:; of life there would be no prospect of effectively mitigating the incidence of the disease. "Other diseases have been brought under control, hut the influenza still eludes us." A disease is said to be pandemic when it is widely epidemic, and affects a whole people or all classes.
