Much of the material in "The Flu" is still relevant today, like pandemic terminology, thoughts about causes and micro-organisms, the flu's relationship with pneumonia, the impact on society, and approaches to treatments
"The Flu" is included in the Surgeon General's Library at the U. S. National Library of Medicine
