ford county homes, owing to the outbreak of
grip. The mild, damp weather for the past few
days seems to have strengthened the hold of
the epidemic and there is hardly family but
what has this unwelcome visitor within its
doors Some cases are reported v here the en-
tire household is sick at the same time, one not
being able to wait upon another. Fortunately
it has proved fatal in but very few cases, the
only danger being relapse which generally
ends in pneumonia. The second winter of this
Russian importation seems to have developed
unexpected complications. For instance, In ad-
dition to the usual pains and depression, it has
carried in it's train species of opthamia, pink
eye or what is equivalent to it. This COM
plant has been very prevalent. especially In the
larger cities.
Grip seems to have affected the entire country
and in many places has caused almost temper
airy business suspension.
