INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.
INCREASE IN NEW SOUTH WALES. VALUE OF INOCULATION. Received March 16, 5.5 p.m. Sydney, March 10. Influenza, apparently assisted by the cold spell, continues to increase. The cases in New South Wales for the past week were 97, compared with 64 in the previous week. In support of the value of inoculation it is stated that two well-known doctors who are conducting bacteriological work used their own blood with the object of isolating influenza germß. Both had been inoculated, and when the germs were introduced into their blood they invariably died. They then secured the blood of a non-inoculated person, in which the germs flourished. A Melbourne doctor states that he lias seen no pneumonia in cases infected immediately after the first inoculation. Another states that he had not seen a bad case in previously inoculated persons. Melbourne, March 10. Influenza cases continue to decrease. There were six deaths yesterday.
