DANGERS FROn THE COLD AND
BLUSTERY SPRING.
From New York Herald.

From New York Herald.
THE present fall of temperature over a large
tinuance for some time is very likely to affect
the public health by the increase Of all such
troubles as commence with the ordinary cold"
In this connection cannot lose sight of the
fact that grip is still prevailing. and although it
has been on the wane there is a threat in the
present cold wave OF revival of the former
malignancy Of the scourge.
I'VE can hardly congratulate ourselves that
the danger from pneumonia is likely to be less
with the incoming and inclement spring than II
was in the months gone by. 1t goes without the
saying, then. that we cannot take too many
precautions"
