- 2. 1918 Flu Epidemic filled the Fire Hall & YMCA In 1918 life expectancy for men was 53 years and 54 for women. Typhoid fever was very prevalent. Diphtheria was like a thief in the night. Many a small boy cut his foot in the barnyard or on a rusty nail and then lockjaw would develop, then death. Attitudes toward healthcare were changing. Physicians were just starting to set up offices and to receive “real” clinical training.. Hospitals with sterilization and isolation were now becoming popular.
- 3. 1918 Flu Epidemic The Flu epidemic of 1918 killed more people than died in World War I. This epidemic swept the world and killed an estimated 50 million people. One fifth of the worlds population was attacked. Within months it had killed more people than an other illness in recorded history.
- 4. Autumn of the “Spanish Lady” 1918
- 5. 1919 Dear Fellow Citizens:- There is no city in Penna. of the size of Waynesboro where the need of a new and modern Hospital is more apparent than right here in our own community. This situation brings us literally face to face with a matter of life and death. It may be you or your loved ones, or possibly a dear friend who will need the facilities of a modern hospital. If so, to have these, will be worth to you the Cost of an entire new building.
