HEALTH BOARD
DENIES REPORT
Alleged Epidemic of Influenza
is Said to Be An
ExaggeratiOn.

Despite an alarming amount Of
severe cases Of colds and light at
tacks Of la grippe, DR.. E. G. Freyer-
muth, secretary of the board of
health, stated Friday night that no
cases OF influenza had been reported
to him, and according TO reports
reaching him from other physicians
in the city. he had come TO the con-
clusion that the alleged epidemic Of
flu was an exaggeration.
The board OF health official said
that he had made a tour of the the
aters and other public places Thurs
day night and had observed that a
great amount of coughing was prev
alent. but he is under the impress
sion that the malady can be safely
diagnosed as a mere cold. a bit more
severe than usual. but not of the
dangerous sort.
DR.. Freyermuth further declared
that other physicians had cOincided
with his view and insisted that a
repetition Of the dangerous epidemic
of last year was not feared since all
precautions had been taken TO avoid
a temperance of the disease.
