LESS PNEUMONIC ’FLU
P«€€A«TIGNS STILL NECESSARY F«wer city people were confined to bed with pneumonic Influenza and pneumonia this month than in May, according to statistics of the Health JJepartment completed to today. Ten cases of pneumonic influenza were notified In the city area in June compared with 12 last month, while the pneumonia cases numbered 10, against 17 in May. The decreases are considered by Dr. i Hughes, medical officer of health, to be very satisfactory. Precautions (should not be relaxed, however, as July and early August are recognised as months in which cases of the maladies are generally found to reach their peak. One or two of the cases of pneumonic flu reported have been very acute, principally caused by the victims contracting a chill when quitting bed too soon. The incidence of scarlet fever and diphtheria, too, has materially diminished in the past month. Contrary to expectations the former disease has shown a dropping tendency during the past two months.
