"Thc Albany Argus" argues that the DEM
ocrats can carry the XXth and XXlVth Con-
oressonal districts Of this State. Both Of them
are now represented at Washington by Repub-
licans. and one good reason among many why
they will continue to be represented by Repup-
licans is found in the fact that the Democrats
cannot muster enough votes in either to elect
their own nominees 1t is well not to overlook
fact Of so much significance in talking OF
these districts.

A Paris correspondent of the New York
World says that the first symptom of gen.
uine case of Ia grippe is high fever with
chills, pains in head, back and limbs, so Sc
we're that the patient groans and even
screams in his agony. It is almost impossi-
BILE to open the eyes because of weakness of
the muscles, and the tongue is brown, some
times BLACK, with red edges. Every one at
ficted with dengue fever has distaste for all
kinds of nOurishment solid and liquid.
At the end of three or four days an
eruption appears. Sometimes this resembles
scarlet fever, sometimes measles. If the
case be a severe one the fever continues ten
or even fifteen days, but usually the patient
is convalescent at the end of the sixth day
However, convalescence is very slow, and
for days, even wee6s, one who has passed
through the dengue fever cannot eat aud has
hardly strength enough to speak.
The fever seldom terminates in death, for
in Smyrna, where there have been more than
one hundred thousand cases of dengue, but
two persons have died from its effects
A famous German scientist says that the
disease was known in the thirteenth century,

been treating cases OF influenza from four
different States. As to what the actual ma
ture of the disease is, DR.. Tuttle said he was
inclined to believe that the symptoms in
dicated more than mere influenza
In my Judgment" said he, influenza is
one of the least pronounced features of the
epidemic. In all the cases which have come
under my notice there were only three in
stances where influenza became very ap-
parent.
''This outbreak appears to be a miasmatic
or epidemic disease It's first symptoms re-
semble the onset of mild typhoid. 1t begins

by cold chills running up and down the

the patient who is careful during the febrile
