HEALTH OFFICER BRoPHY
 WARNS OF INFLUENZA

In view of the fact that the epidemic of Spanish influenza has been more and more prevalent during the past few days City Health Officer E. J. Brophy on Sunday evening stated that he wished 10 again call the attention of the public to tbe necessity of talk ing the disease at the outset and not trif1ing with it.
 There are at present many hundreds of cases of influenza in tie city, in fact, it Is estimated. that the number is in the neighborhood of six hundred. In the surrounding towns the propor- ton is as large as in the city. Dur ing the epidemic so far there have been approximately twelve deaths re- sulting from pneumonia which is an outcome of the influenza and there are many more serious cases now under the doctors care and at the Backus hospital.
 While this disease has claimed many victims the death rate in proportion
 to the number of afflicted is small and the disease itself is not dangerous if it is taken at the very beginning and physician is called When the first symptoms of the disease appear, which are headache, baelSache. chills and a high fever, the patient should inme diately go to bed and have physician summoned The disease is very com
 municable and the patient should be placed in a room by himself and no one allowed to sleep in the room. He should have his own eating and drink ing utensils and his approximations
 should be burned. The disease which comes upon q person very suddenly, leaves them with equal rapidity if proper care is taken but it is not well
 for the patient to try to get out until
 given permission by the doctor as he is liable to suffer relapse which may result in pneumonia. Health Officer | Brophy states that there is no cause for a panic if people will only follow
 the instructions issued by the health department
 Another thing that Dr Brophy
 wishes to emphasize is the need of pa tients to notify physicians before Q . clock in the evening as at this time all l the doctors have aA that they can possibly do ip attending cases to which they have been called during the ear 1 Her part of the day. If person calls
 after s o'clock there is very little chance of his getting q physician be- fore the morning. When the person first begins to feel the symptoms af the disease a physician should imme- i diately be summoned.

In clos ing MT. Peale urged his hearers to be sure to follow the great leader, Jesus Christ. The men showed much inter est in the talk,
