He added that deaths this year might ex- ceed 15,000, Deaths ind the 1918 epidemic however, were 500,000 in ecess of thé normal number from the dis- ease, In 1920: there were 100,~ 000 excess deaths, and in 1924 there were between 15 and 20 thousand, Second Wave The surgeon-general - also de- clared that there was the possi bility of a second and more severe wave of the epidemic in the win- ter.. He reassured the public against alarm, however, emphasiz- ing the mildness of type of the disease now prevalent, and the ap- parent ahsence of complications, "There is every indication, as I see it," Dr. Cumming said, 'that the epidemic will spread through the Atlantic States as it has gone through the West, This appears to be a typical influenza epidemic, and it is similar to the 1918 out- break in the mildness of the first cases," New Cases said the mortality rate was meeting expectations of large advances in deaths as the number of 'cases in- creases. / "Tne death rate now is low in, proportion to the number of cases," he added, "and consequently I sew no reason for public alarm, How- ever, any epidemic so widespread as this one is serious, There is every justification to think that this year's mortality wll he great. er than that of 1926." .
