INFLUENZA REPORTS WERE
 FEWER OVER WEEK. END

That the influenza epidemic in Norwich is well in hand is evidenced by the fact that over the week end there has been a material decrease in the number of new cases recorded at the office of City Health Officer Dr. E. J. Brophy. The number of cases reported during the past forty eight hours is the smallest of any s.nce the epidemic made it's appearance in Norwich and the total number of cases in town will, accordingly, be smaller than in the past few days as a large majority of those who were reported i'll are now well on the road to recovery.
 This however, does not mean that the public should relax in it's precau- ton against the disease for it is this same precaution that has prevented a repetition of the epidemic of the fall of 1918. Dr. Brephy said on Sunday evening that the public of Norwich were to be congratulated on the way in which they had responded to his instructions and he expressed the wish tbat they would continue to do so until all danger of a recurrence of the disease had passed. He said that the person who sneezed or ceughed without first covering his mouth with his handkerchief was a greater men ace to the public health than the person that walked the streets Of Nor Wleh with diphtheria or scarlet fev- CT. As influenza is 0 disease contract ed through the mouth and nose any person sneezing or coughing may be sending into the air countless num- bers of the influenza germs
