Conditions relative TO the influenza

large. Montpelier, Barre and ST.
Johnsbury report sharp decline in
number Of cases and in number OF

Bennington has been the most for
tmate of any of the large places in
the state, as less than one hundred
cases have been reported TO the local
health officer But few deaths have

No doubt this is due in large meas
