MILD INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.
1 In reference to the mild form of influenza now prevalent, Dr. Watt, the Deputy-Director-General of Health, says:—“l would remind you'that since 1918 we have had in almost every alternate year recrudescences of influenza of a comparatively mild type. There is no reason to believe that a more serious type of influenza is prefalent this year than has been experienced in the last few winters. You will remember that some time ago we communicated with Australia, and 'were advised by the responsible medical officers of that country that they were experiencing their usual seasonal outbreak, although imoffieial reports received here indicated a somewhat alarming outbreak. “I am of the opinion that the position will be met at present by keeping a very close watch on our returns and by emphasising to the public the need of their seeking bed on the first manifestation of the disease, and staying there until the temperature has been normal for some three days. The public also should be advised to keep away from public gathering. This is a precautionary measure which is within the reach of everybody.
