There are between fifteen and twenty
cases of the grip or influenza among the
convicts at the Minnesota state prison.
They are typical cases, and the symp-
toms include high fever, with tenn
perature frequently up to 104 degrees,
headache, and an aching soreness all
through the body. After subsidence of
the fever the patient is left in very
much weakened condition. All the
cases have developed within two or
three days, and there is good promise
that the epidemic character of the dis
ease will be further illustrated.
