A WARNING.
PREVALENCE OF INFLUENZA By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. “I want to sound a word of warning to this city and the Dominion,” said Dr. Thacker, M.P., the Mayor, at the commencement of a meeting of the council to-night. “Three years ago we had a very serious epidemic. The anniversary of its appearance would be about the 14th of next month, and a similar phase of mild influenza, is now passing through the country.” The death of ex-councillor Cuthbert Harper that day had been due to pneumonia and there had been various other deaths from a similar cause. Not only as Mayor, but as ?> medical man, he urged citizens not to congregate together and to take the precautions taken before. The previous epidemic had come in a mild form and had then become very severe, but the public had not realised its ’gravity until November.
