 Of the prevailing epidemic influenza the secretary of the state boardT Of health, Dr. 0. A. Lindsley, says:
 Such universal and. .synchronous oc currence of an epideMD throughout the country, almost with th& audiences of an explosion, is utterly incSasistent with the possibility of depeudini upon personal l ~rlv oe cubation is allowed. Whse it's rapid spread seems incompatible withany known means of communication, evGy plausible the ory of it's extension whish has been sup. gested involves an .aeril or atmospheric medium of infection. 10 facts have vel been discovered from :.yaich a positive conclusion as to thesispecal cause of the disease can be establishta. Nor is any precaution known by meals of which the infection can be avoided, r it's prevalence restricted.
 Having regard for it's .lmost universal impression, in some form, .ipon the public health, 1t is to be called . mild epidemic that IS, of the whole number affected, only few are seriously sick md the total deaths attributed to it hays numbered only I38, But regarding: it iron Ehbther stand point, that is, front lS acna{ feenlts which may fairly be attrihutSd U 1t awithbut Sref Ierence to tlfs nunbefs 6Dl Ssfhed, it is tht most disastrous and fatal epidemic which has afflicted ConnecticufiI iIn many years Although the fatality attributed to it i, not large-yet the increased mortality from other diseases, particularly Of the lungs presumably aggravated bs this epidemic is unprecedented. There were 606 deaths from pneumonia in Janua.Y. 97 were re ported from bronchitis and 199 from con sumption.
 The total mortality dnriig January ex ceeded any previous experhuca in a sillgl. month in the history of tkssfate.
