A clipping of a report on the ravages of the influenza pandemic in Ireland. Reference is made to the call made by Dr Kathleen Lynn for ‘precautionary measures’ to limit the spread of the disease. She suggests that people avoid overcrowded places and eat ‘nourishing food’. Lynn also notes that ‘every war has been followed by pestilence’ and suggests that soldiers ‘returning from the front should be quarantined until they are certified all right before being allowed to mix with the population or, at the very least, their clothes should be sterilized, because very often infection is carried in their clothes’. The clipping is taken from the 'Irish Independent' (December 1918).
