that was 40 fatal in the North and in
North Carolina last year is now pre-
vailing in the South. and very &C.
verely IN some places. There are
many cases in Wilmington. One OF
our physicians had some twelve or
fifteen eases a few Days ago. No
doubt there many others. :In
New Orleans it. is malignant and
very fatal. In one week III deaths
occurred directly from this disease
or were traceabfe to it,. We. fear
now that it has taken up it's abode
in our country, it will be a disease
TO be dreaded henceforlh. 1t is a
much more serious disease than was
at first supposed. In North Caro-.
lima in 1890, there were a grea,
many deaths caused by the grip
probably a thousand or more.
