Influenza Prevalent.

• INCREASING MORTALITY. Official statistics show that considerably over one death per day from influenza is taking place inN S.W. alone, and that it. is equally in evidence in the sister colonies our contemporaries there disclose. Deaths from influenza have, and are playing no small part indwelling the mortality list. Very frequently these deaths are in the first place due to care'easness, for the primary cause of influenza is cold in the chest and lungs. If these simple ailments were attended to in time, the trouble would possible end there ; but cold in the head and lungß, unless carefully watched, brings on fever and debility; fever and -debility -. lead to prostration and heart disease, and prostration and heart disease lead to— death. No wonder is it that at so many inquests lately the coroner's verdict has been " Death resultant from influenza." Having explained the evil after-effects of this dangerous ailment, we have no* 1 to chronicle their cure. Mr Tate, of " Ithica ! Cottage," Jllawarra vßbftd, Mftrrickville. willtell-uW^.
