INFLUENZA RAvAGES
SLUMS OF LONDON
Epidemic Said to Be Severest En-.

BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, January 26.-The greater
part of London is now suffering from
the severest influenza epidemic since
the war. Accelerated by the wet and
cold weather of the last two weeks.
the disease has spread so rapidly that
1t is hard to combat, especially among
tho noorer classes.
SO far the epidemic has only been of
mild type, but 1t is sufficiently pro-
life to fill all of London's nursing
homes and to commander all trained
nurses.
One newspaper estimates that there
are 5000 cases in London. 1t has
been officially announced that there
are 1000 cases at Aldershot, oi:e Ct
the largest army camps in England,
with the result that many barracks s
have been converted into hospitals
and that quarantine regulations are
in force. =,
Medical science is alarmed at the
regular recurrence of influenza in
England. They fear that the disease
will soon weaken the constitutions
and hearty vigor of Englishmen,
making them each year less able to
Withstand the new attacks or caus-
ing them to ebe susceptible to lung
diseases. This would be a calamity
for Englishmen. since they ara
habitually faced with weather con-
ducive to this type of disease

recently discovered vaccine, which,
however. has not yet shown excep-
honal results.

days, red spot appears on the right
arm where the injection was made,
the child is susceptible to diphtheria
