New Castle has thus far borne her full
share of the affection caused by the rav
ages of La Grippe. In many cases the
patients would get out into the air too
soon, taking heavy cold causing pneu-
monia to set in. Not one person out OF
more than fifty that have been attacked
died, and to-day there are but few who
are suffering from this fatal disease. The
loathsome measles has now put in an
appearance and has gone into several
homes, striking down the little ones.
