INFLUENZA
CONDITIONS ALMOST NORMAL.
, During the week ended yesterday the number of cases of pneumonic influenza throughout the Dominion numbered 57 and of pneumonia 29. There were however only six deaths from pneumonic influenza, and five deaths from pneumonia. The figures for the previous week were: Pneumonic influenza: cases: 60- deaths, 26; pneumonia: cases, 26; -deaths, 13. It will thus be seen that not only has there been a decrease in the number of cases ot. both pneumonic influenza and pneumonia, but a most marked decrease in the number of deaths. The epidemic may now be regarded as having almost disappeared. The reduction in the number of cases has been practically uniform throughout, the Dominion, except at New Plymouth and Stritford, where there has been an increase in the prevalence of the diseases, but a notable feature of the epidemic in that district is that there has not been a single death during the past week
