exposed to or In the family with the

PLAGUE MADE DIRE RECORD
Reasonable Grounds for Estimating
That Influenza Has Cost the Lives
of Six Million Persons.

Though estimates of deaths over the
,hole world from any single epidemic
are very difficult to form, there seem
to be reasonable grounds for believing
that some 100000 persons have per-
ished of influenza and pneumonia dur
ing the last comparatively few weeks
Business has been interfered with by
the epidemic in every country in the
world, and enormous losses both in
earning power and in trade have been
suffered. The cost of the "influenza
war" cannot be reckoned, but that 1t Is
colossal does not admit of doubt.
This plague, then, generally regarded
with equanimlty, is, it would seem. five
times more deadly than war 1t has
been estimated that the war caused the
death of 20,OO000o persons in four and
one-half years, writes a physician In
the London Times. In the same pc
Rod at its epidemic rate influenza
would have killed 10S,OO0,0O0. The
visits of the raIdIng Gothas to Lon
don were but rs Il summer shower
compared with the deluge Of germs
which we have just received. The air
raids cost London some IndredS Of
lives; the influenza has cost 1t up
wards of 10000
Never since the black death has such
a plague swept over the face of the
world; never, perhaps, has a plague
been more stolcally accepted. In In
dla alone over 100000 deaths &C.
Cured. Bombay had $4,000 of these !;
Delhi, with population of 200 ZOO, had
500 deaths day The Puniab lost
100000 persons. South Africa suffered
no less severely. In Cape Town 1000
children were left destitute as re-
suit of the disease, while the plague
swept through the native areas like
fire The commonwealth of Australia
sent n ship to Samoa with help because
the disease was affecting so per cent
of the natives. The white population
were only able to feed the living and
bury the dead In New Zealand public
services We're stopped and business
gravely disOrganlzed. The ravnges In
America have been appalling, nor has
Canada escaped. In Ontario and the
western provinces no fewer than 1903
doctors died of the epidemic. while the
total death rate In ontario alone was
5000 up to November. A large num-
her Of American Indians have persisted.
Euronp as n whole has suffered I'm the
same way. In Spain the epidemic was
described ms truly awful" In Bar
celona the death rate was credihly
stated to be 1900 daily France has
had her share, likewise Germany and
Austria.
