Dangers From the Cold and Blustery Spring


 From the New York Herald.
 '"rhe present fall of temperature over large erea of country, and the probability of its continuance for some time, is very likely to effect the public health by the increase of all such troubles as commence with the "ordinary cold" In this connec- ton we cannot lose sight of the fact that grip is still prevailing, and although it has been on the wane there is threat in the present cold wave of a revival of the former malignacy of the scourge.
 We can hardly congratulate ourselves that the danger from pneumonia Is likely to be less with the incoming and indictment spring than it was in the months gone by. It goes without the saying, then, that we cannot take too many precautions"
