’FLU ON THE WANE
SCARLET FEVER PREVALENT The protracted spell of wet weather has not caused any marked increase in the incidence of influenza throughout the four Auckland health districts. The malady is, however, still prevalent, though declining in the City area, the cases reported being scattered over a wide area. Incidence of scarlet fever throughout tho province is somewhat heavier than in previous years, but the disease is of a particularly mild type, this being the principal reason for the cases being so numerous. Contact is established between sufferers and other people before the disease is recognised. Twelve cases were reported in the central district during the past week, and a similar number from the South Auckland area. Diphtheria is by no means declining within tho City or the South Auckland district, which reported 14 cases last week.
