WHOLE COUNTRY HAS GRIPPE

The health authorities of New York
declare that fully per cent. of the pop
ulation of that city is afflicted with the
grip, and the disease is prevailing
throughout the East. It is also IN
evidence in Nashville, says the Ameri-
can, 1t is the latest brand and newest
style of grip, but it is no improvement
on the old. The grip is no respecter of
persons. All is gr1st that comes to its
mill, and it pulverizes middhng fine.
1t respects no sex and is not choice as
to the age of its victims, though old
people and fat persons seem to be pre-
ferred. 1t has been known to assail
even members of the Legislature. The
grip, like the boycott, the monocle and
golf, is an European importation which
has become acclimated and which has
made this republic its empire. 1t is a
medley of all diseases in their most
malignant form; composite malady of
all the worst features of all the Ills to
which mortal flesh is hir. It fills It's
victim with pain and gloom and leaves
nothing in ali the world that is pleasant
or atrocious, good or beautiful to his
sight, taste or contemplation. He has
neither ambition, enthusiasm nor hope,
has no interest in things earthly and
fears the worst as to his future state.
Those who survive the grip when it has
once cleared decks for action need fear
nothing which this sorrowful earth
may have in store. 1t is the e plur-
ibus unum, the ne plus ultra of human
misery and woe.
