DR.. Wolff announces that thirty
three new cases of Spanish Influenza
have been reported to him in the
twenty-four hours ending at noon to-
day. This is a large increase over
the number of cases announced yes
terday, and, as matter of fact, is a
very large number, being much grea-
ter than the percentage in any of the
large cities; for instance, Philadel-
phia recently considered 143 new
cases a large number, but Philadel-
phia would have to have over twenty
four thousand cases for it's percent
age to equal that as represented by
the number of new cases in Cam
bridge today. There is no need to
be scared, but there is an actual
need for the exercise of the greatest
of care by parents and everyone else.
