Abstract:
Since the period of the Great Famine ("The Black
Forty-seven"), with its awful attendant horrors of fever
and cholera, no disease of an epidemic nature created so
much havoc in any one year in Ireland as Influenza in
1918, for during that year, out of a total of 78,695 deaths
from all causes registered no less than 10,651 deaths, or
13.5 per cent., were ascribed to this cause.
