A warninc from the Late Epidemio.

Last winters world wide visitation of the
influenza, or grippe, has brought in its train
curious exaggerations Of many well recog-
nized characteristics which, The London
Lancet asserts, call for appreciation and for
treatment almost as much as the disease in
which they originated. One of the most
striking of the mental perversities noted was
that the disease should be treated in ''com-
mon sensen manner. As result many people
dosed themselves with drugs of whose powers
and properties they were wholly ignorant,
and because of the unwise use of antipyrin,
resulting in numerous cases of death from
heart failure, it has been thought advisable
in some of the large cities of America and
Europe to forbid the sale Of the drug except
under doctors prescriptions. Mr. Labou-
chere, the well known English editor and
member of parliament, upon being seized
with influenza recently took thirty grains of
quinine and unlimited squill pills" lie
writes that one Settled the fever" and the
other "settled the cough" and that in four
days he was well. He is certainly to be con
graduated ON his recovery. Remarks The
Lancet: "It is serious enough TO cope with an
epidemic without having matters complicated
by ignorant and reckless experimental thera-

RATAER SMALL pROsPECIs.

CHICAGO, Ill, April 1.-The general pas
senger agents of the western roads met to-
day again to again take up the question of
reorganizing the western states passenger
association This was in accordance with
the resolution adopted last week which
provided that such meeting should be
held in case the agreement was not signed
by all the former members of
the association by April Several
of the roads not signed and among these Is
the Missouri Pacific, which also declines to
send a representative to tOday's meeting.
1t is understood that Missouri Pacific has
decided not to subscribe to any agreement
at present on account of the contract of
the Union Pacific and the Chicago & North
western. The Burlington, Cedar Rapids
q Northern and the Iowa Cen
tral both decline to join the pro
posed association, but promise TO live
up to its rules and regulations so long as
they can do so without detriment to their
own interests. The Wisconsin Central
notified the meeting that owing TO the
change in management occasioned by the
lease of that line by the Northern Pacific
it could not say what its course would be
before about April 10. Accordingly an ad-
iournment was taken until that date. 1t
is generally conceded, however, that unless
the Missouri Pacific comes in no organiza-
tiOn can be affected.
