aid in behalf of the womens' hospital in
this city called upon ex-President Cleve-
land today and informed him that his

quest. Then he added, significantly, TIE
truth of the matter is the demands which

BosToN. Dec. 2l.-The spread of the in
luenza epidemic among all classes in Bos-
ton Is daily becoming more noticeable.
Forty-thre0 policemen are reported sick
with the influenza. Quite a number of
fremen are unable to attend fires from the
same cause. The malady is prevalent
among railroad and bank clerks, which is
by some theorists attributed to the hand
ling of infected tickets by the former and
infected money by the latter. Many post
office employees have also been attacked,
and foreign mails are looked upon with
suspicion Both types of the disease known

EVERYBODY PREPARE no SNEEzE

EN ERN BODY PREPARE TO SNEEZE.
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Herald cables his paper that 100000
people are sick in that country with Rus
sian inHsenza The military school of St
Cyr, the corps de ballet at the opera and
the clerks in the great shops have fallen
victims to the curious malady The Her
aid correspondent obtained the following
opinion from nr. Albert Robin of the
Academic de Medicine: This is known
as Influenza or more commonly in
French as la grippe. Five days ago |
had my first case. and since then | have
treated ut least twenty patients. Unques-
tionably the epidemic will continue to
spread how far it is impossible to say
but the Herald may assure its readers that
there is no occasion for serious alarm. An
ordinary case of influenza is nothing
more to be dreaded than a severe cold of Il
weeks duration The symptoms are un-
mistakable, Headache, pains in the eyes,
soreness all over the body, as if one had
been beaten. loss Of appetite, and u gen
eral sense of laSsitude and discontinue.
These general symptoms are apt to be fol-
lowed by various local troubles such as
a bronchial attack, cold in the head, sore
throat, diarrh9a and sometimes by pleur-
isy or pneumonia The only real danger
is presented in the last two cases. which
can usually he guarded against by proper
care From three to eight days is the
average duration of the disease proper,
but its effects upon the system are compar-
atively severe, SO that several weeks more
are often needed for a full couvaleseence.
The Grand Duke Alexis, who was only i'll
for week, will probably require month
before he feels himself again. As to the
cause. medical science to-day is practically
at loss We can, to be sure, tell the
public that it is due to the ravages of an
unknown microbe, but the public takes
only an Indifferent interest in that fact.
Why the epidemic should sweep across
Europe and then remain unknown for a
decade, is beyond our power to explain,
The theory has been advanced that inhu.
euza is the foreruuner of cholera. but re
gard that as pure nonsense. 1t Is true that
several times in the present century an in.
auenza epidemic has been closely followed
by n visitation of cholera. 1t is also true
that several times in the same century
there has been mn epidemic of influenza
with no cholera following. just as there
has been an epidemic of cholera with nj
influenza preceding. The fact is that the
two diseases are SO utterly dissimilar as t.
make any such sequence all but impossi
BILE, and any occasional instances of theil
simultaneous appearance must be regard
ed as a mere coincidence with no deepe,
significance. Another expert expressed
the opinion that the disease was nothing
more nor less than dengue, which has ragec
in various cities in this country.

WE send out this week some state
ments to our subscribers who are

a year or more, so that when they
come to court they can bring us
along a little of the needful. We
have bought the entire subscription
list of MIR. Kildow and this money is

business as it takes money to run a

to know that all money due the AR

have these old debts ell settled Up 5V
the FIRST Of JqaUary. We bought the
books OF Mr.Klldow partly to obligo
him, partly to accommodate our
subscribers and because it was nee
essary in our business. We can
collect this better than Mr.. Kildow;
u friends can settle with us easier
and there will be much less danger
OF mistakes and MISUNDERSTANDING.
There were lots of little sums due
here and there that in the aggregate
amounted TO n good deal and Mr..
Kildow could not afford to loose it
and still it would be n great deal
OF trouble TO collect it and a great
annoyance TO our subscribers to re-
nit such trifles and so to save trou-
bic all around we bought the whole
business. We hope our friends will
appreciate this and be prompt in
their remittance. Who're you are
