usual haunts on account of Grip Teach
crs, clerks. business men, mechanics,
]aborers, street car drivers, police Of

victims by the hundreds. In every
branch of activity and industry the de-
pressing effects of the epidemic are ap-
parent and in many instances business
has been suspended
The results of the grip in many cases
are more serious than the disease itself.
Pneumonia, bronchial troubles, diph-

paralysis and consumption follow an
epidemic of grip and swell the death
rate for months after the disease has
died out.
