Influenza in Europe
EPIDEMIC GROWS WORSE FRENCH DOCTORS ALARMED (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyrights) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 1.10 p.m. PARIS, Wednesday. The spectacle of Frenchmen going about masked as in 1919 as a precaution against influenza is likely to result from the decision of the French Academy of Medicine. Its members are alarmed at th<_ growing proportions of the epidemic, the deaths growing from 720 in December to 1,362 in January. Professor Marchant urged that men should wear “a species of fine, gauze muzzle on the mouth and nose, such as is clone successfully in Japan, and that women wear veils.” The academy officially adopted the suggestion. The authorities are plastering posters all over Paris, urging the people “to protect the nose and mouth by several thicknesses of gauze.” POSITION IN BRITAIN 652 DEATHS IN A WEEK (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Tuesday. The influenza epidemic in Britain is growing worse. The deaths in each week since January 1 have been 99, 122, 179, 321, and 652. Influenza is worse on the Continent, where many businesses are virtually at a standstill.
