Pearson, pathologist at Christchurch Hospital, in u lecture last night on "Influenza," stated that no bacteriological examination hr.d shown the presence of the 'jlague' germ, and it was certainly not plague—it was noi the same type of disease as the great plague (the Black Death) of the fourteenth century. If there were a recrudescence of the disease this winter he thought it would be in a milder form, though it might get more widespread.
