EPIDEMIC OF PNEUMONIA.
New York Health Authorities Take
Measures to Curb It.

The New York Herald of today says:
Vigorous measures to check the epidemic
of pneumonia which holds the city In It's
grip will be promptly taken by the health
authorities of the city. as the result of a
meeting held last night by DIR, Thomas
Darlington, the new commissioner, and the
members of the advisory board OF the de-
partment.
Increase In the number of cases of pneu-
monia in this city has been constant for the
last three months, until 1t has now reached
alarming magnitude. In the last five
weeks of 1903 there We're $50 deaths In Man
haitian alone from this cause as against
5S5 for the corresponding period of the pre-
vious year.
The first noticeable increase was in the
second week OF November, when 1854 deaths
from pneumonia We're reported. After that
the weekly figures grew follows: 2uS,
23l. 2i1, 2i5 800 272 and 50S. Last week
there were 256 deaths from pneumonia, as
against 1877 in the corresponding week of
1903
These are higher figures than have been
reached in scourges and plaques of the
past. In Mexico last year 1tE deaths in a
month from the bubonic plague was con-
s.dered a startling announcement. In sgd
ney, Australia, in 1900 there were 21e plague
cases In three months, and only 70 of them
proved fatal
Those present at the meeting last night.
besides Commissioner Darlington. were
two former commissioners, DIR. Edward G.
Janeway and DR.. Joseph G. Bryant. and
D.. Richard H. Derby, DR.. L. Mitchell
Prudden, Or. J. Walter Brannan. DR.. Fl. T.

DR.. Herman NJ Biggs, medical director OF

thoroughly. agreed that it was grave and

Drs. Smith, Brannan Prudden and Biggs.
to make an exhaustive investigation and
report at an adjourned meeting of the
board TO be held next Wednesday.
Several methods of action were chosen as
a beginning of the work. These include the
cleaning of all public buildings, including
schoolhouses, SO that they may be made
entirely sanitary; a rigid enforcement or
the law requiring the cleaning OF sidewalks
from snow and slush. and insisting upon
the proper heating and ventilation OF street
cars surface and elevated.
Another step on which the physicians laid
stress was the enforcement OF the prohibi-
ton against expectoration the side
walks or anywhere else where infection
may be caused. They are firm in the belief
that pneumonia is an infectious disease.
and that this Is one of the prolific causes of
its spread.
There were 800 new cases of measles In
New York last week, OF which 1e were
fatal Many others developed into pneu-
monia and many of the victims have died
within two days. A special staff of nurses
has been assigned by the health departments
to the poor districts. where crowded and
insanitary conditions induce disease. and a
general caution has been issued to the peo-
pie to keep their feet dry. avoid draughts,
not to sit in cold cars and to loosen their
coats and wraps II they are In car that Is
warm.

 The reception committee con- sisted of MT. and Mrs. T. D. Kinman, senior and junior, F. w. billiard and wife, Mesdames L. B. Young, Narcle Minor, and Miss Noreene Kinman, all of whom spent their entire time in seeing their guests were enjoy ing every moment of the night in this hospitable home.
