Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 feat. Dr. Joseph Williams

Dr. Joseph Williams returns to discuss the health & hygiene (or lack thereof) behind the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 and the search for a vaccine. We read a letter from Lutiant Lavoye, an Ojibwe field nurse who treated soldiers in the army barracks of Washington, D.C. that year.
