The general opinion among medical men is that there is no cause for alarm .an epidemic being regarded as unlikely, although it is admitted that six cases in a week is unusual. Happily, it is considered' t r >o late in the season for an outbreak to assume serious proportions. One' private school iri the city has been closed owing to a case occurring there, but it has since been reopened.
