'FLU AND THE WEATHER.
INCREASE IN COLD SPELL. 97 CASES IN SYDNEY THIS WEEK. SYDNEY. March 16. The influenza.' apparently assisted by the cool spell, continues to increase. Tbe cases in New South Wales for the past week numbered 97, compared with 64- in the previous week. In support of the value of inoculation, it is stated that two well-known doctors conducting bacteriological work used their own blood with the object of isolating influenza germs. Both had been inoculated, and germs introduced into their blood invariably died. They then secured the blood of a person who had not been inoculated, in whicli the germs flourished. A Melbourne doctor states that be has seen no pneumonia in cases infected immediately after tbe first inoculation. Another states that he had not seen a bad case in a previously- inoculated person.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.) MELBOURNE, March 10. The cases of influenza continue to dc- i crease in number. There were six deaths yesterday. Five deaths occurred the i previous day. — (A. and N.Z. Cable.) (Received 10.10 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. There were three deaths from influenza in Sydney during the week end. — (A. and N.Z." Cable.)
