Us TelecraDh-Press A-SEOciaUon-Copyrielit (Eec. March IG, 5.5 p.m.) Sydney, March 16. Influenza, apparently assisted by the cool spell, continues to increase. The ciisi , * in New South Wales during the past week are 07, compared with 64 in the, previous week.
In support: of the value of inoculation, it is stated that two well-known doctors, while conducting bacteriological work, used their own blood, with' the' object of isolating the influenza germs. Both had been inoculated, and when the gertne were introduced into the blood they invariably died. The doctors then secured the blood of a non-inoculated person, in which the germs nourished. A Melbourne doctor states that be has seen no pneumonia in cases infected immediately after the first inoculation. Another doctor stales that lie had not seen a bad case in previously inoculated persons.—Press Assn.
