ENGLAND's INFLUENZA EPIDEM-


 IC.
 Last week influenza caused nearly two hundred deaths in London alone. In November there were about fifteen deaths a week from influenza. In De- cember the disease began to spread There were sixty-nine deaths in the third week; in the fourth the total jumped up to one hundred and ninety three, and it is feared that the worst has not come yet General practltion- CTS are worked off their feet. "The cpl demic is again spreading over the coun- try,'' said an eminent medical authorl- ty on the subject. II hear of it in the north, the eastern counties and In Wales. It came as suddenly as an eX- plosion. The visitation is of very prostrating nature, not perhaps so Ia tai as some previous epidemics, but bad enough. Up to the present the at- tacks have not been so dangerous in the direction of high temperature as Tn the worst influenza years. The disease is certainly on the increase. The origin of the disease or rather the circum- stance WHICH DIlISS IL dpoue, i'7 much mystery as ever We know ln- ,fluenza to be zymotic disease, due to germ That germ has been isolated, and it is the smallest bacillus known, and yet one of the most disastrous in It's effects. In that connection a curious thing has been noticed, which has not so far as I know, been published In the north of England, where the dis ease is raging, it has been observed that artisans of all classes have been af- 'fected with the single exception Of those who work in very high tempera- tures Hundreds of men at Arm strong's works Elswick, are down with influenza and I am told that there is not a single puddler among them. The men who work in a great heat have es- capped. Whether that indicates that the germ cannot live in a high temperature I do not know" ."-London Mall.
