ADVENT Of INFLUENZA.
The Disease That Is Epidemic i'm
Europe Appears I'm New York.


New York, Dec. 16--Dr. Edison, of
the health board, to-day reported that
there had been discovered in the city
six cases of foreign influenza. Later
the disease was diagnosed as
influenza, the same form as has
lately spread over Europe. Thus far
seight cases have been reported to the
health board, and thoy are all in one
family. The first victim, a young lady,
was taken down on Thursday last 1t
is supposed that she contracted the
disease from family who returned
from Europe about ten days ago.
Her first symptoms were vertigo,
speedily followed by headache and
chills. Then she became deathiy pale,
sick with pains in her limbs and
muscles. This was succeeded by
bronchial catarrh. soreness of the throat
and coughing, followed by high fever
and an exceedingly rapid pulse which at
times reached 120 to the minute. Since
then seven other members Of the family
have been attacked by the disease.
In all the cases the symptoms are said
to be'identical. The health officers say
they are not surprised at@itS appearance
here. 1t is not dangerous, but ii it
tends to become epidemic all cases will
be quarantined. The treatment is the
spraying of the affected membrane
freely and frequently with solution OF
quinine, and the internal administra-
tion of-Quinine, belladOna and camphor.

EGYPT has set a good example to
other European countries in its recent
abolition of the corvee system. Under
this the state could command the serv-

or paying him any wages. 1t need not
even give him decent food at the time.
Perhaps the reform was in anticipation
