Special thanks are given to Heather Larmay and Marie Gabavics for their independent research on 1920 influenza remedies. We also thank Dr. Susan McFadden and the Psychology students involved with interviewing 1918 influenza survivors. This study is dedicated to the late Helen Jelinske, a former UW-Oshkosh alumnus and 1918 Spanish Influenza survivor. Her insight and memories were a major driving force in this study.
