PNEUMONIA AND FLU"
CONTINUE TO PREVAIL
IN TOWN AND COUNTY

The epidemic of grip and flu that
has been prevailing for the past fort
night shows little signs of abating as
yet and the local doctors urge that
every precaution be taken TO prevent
colds and infection.
In town the city health officer, DR..
j. c. Joyce, reports that the mortal
ity for the past month has been high
er than at any time during the last
two years.
The grip in most cases is after the
first day or so of illness but of a
mild form. though about one in iif-
teen is typical example OF "flu" of
the malignant type that scourged the
country in 1918. Several new cases
of pneumonia were reported yester-
day and more are looked for during
the next fortnight
In the county where the epidemic
has been much more severe the doc
tors are SO busy that it is hard to
get accurate reports as yet. In many
places whole families are down with
the disease and suffering from lack
of nursing. Doctor j. j. Murphy, the
county health officer, thinks that the
grip epidemic is abating slightly, but
there are more pneumonia cases / e.
ing reported. and will probably con-
tinue to lie so for another fortnight,
when the epidemic will have run its
course.
In the meantime persons should be
careful not to expose themselves un-
necessarily to contact with the dis
ease.
