Dr. Arena has come forward with the view that tho so-called after-effects of influenza are not so much a sequel of previous influenza as a continuanco of tho disease, in other words, a persistent influenza; and he points out that the intial attack in some of tho worst of those cases is so mild as to make it very difficult to believe it can set uj) such a prolonged train of symptoms. It is far easier to believe that tho disease itself persists, and that the asthenia (debility) is the proximate effect of a present cause, and not a far-otf result of a remote cause. In some types tho general symptoms outweigh tho local manifestations, and in others the reverse takes place; sometimes the changes are serial in character, sometimes a mimicry of disease takes place.
