From various sources the information
comes that grip is quite prevalent
throughout the city. Several OF The ricet
prominent physicians have number OF
cases on their list OF calls. In the do
partments many clerks and even prin-
ciDal officials are confined TO their homes
with influenza
Reports at the Health Office for the
week before last showed nine 6earbs
from grip, and among the deaths re-
ported up 10 Thursday night last there
were three. This is not an abuormalIv
high death rate from this disease in
February. but il shows the presence OF
the malady over a widespread territory.
The Health Officer yesterday explain
ed that grip itself is not fatal. II. now
ever, becomes complicated with other
diseases and carries off the aged and
ailing- More often than otherwise the
malady develops into pneumonia and
in that form proves fatal
Last weeks death report showed thir-
ty-five fatalities from rneumonia-par-
haps half Of them were what is popu-
larry known as "a bad cold The
cases were largely Of old people CT
children.
DR.. Woodward said Yesterday that
both grip and pneumonia are communi-
cable diseases. He thought grip more SO

General Sternberg as authority for The
