:f r; Tm influenza: scourg-e. •' : • NEWS AND HINTS..' HOW TO FACE THE EPIDEMIC. • '" ■ The epidemic of infldanza is not yet at an end, and the after effects of this terrible disease are still felt by numerous sofierera. Indeed, S3vere as influenza is. in its attack, the after symptoms are perhaps even more insidiously dangerous, and it behoves-all who have suffered from the dreaded epidemic to safeguard themselves against its later consequents. The Scarborough Mercury describes an event of local interest, which bears out this opinion. Arepbrter of the great newspaper interviewed a Mr Thomas Harland, 10 Arncliffe Terrace, Glaisdale 'Yorkshire, who had been renderod incapable of work by influenza during a previous epidemic' THr Harlsnd said, in reply to questions:"My illness began a year sgo test Christmas with a severe attack of influenza. Afterwards I began rapidly to get weaker. I conld not sleep at pighte, my appetite failed, and although I did not; take my bed, yet I could scarcely support my weight. I tried all. sorts of ' doctoring.' I was a month ia the Scarborough Sea Bathing In'finriaiy then I went to Bariogate, and the doctor told me I was suffering from ar.semia, or bloodles'sness, in consequence of the influenza, which afiects the nerves, and causes great general weakuess. I returned home still very weak, and utterly unable to be of nny use. Just at this time however, my son saw an account in one of the papeis of a woman who had SDffered from influenza like myself, and who told a reporter what marvellous effect Dr WiHiauWs Pink Pills for Pale' People bad had upon-her. .1 determined to try them. I could not tell I had received 'any relief from the firat bos, although i was told I was looking better; but before I had taken a second bos I found myself rapidly improving. I was able to sleep better, .ray nerves were stronger, and my appetite much better."' Now, after my fifth box, lam quite strong again, and I strongly recommend them to all who suffer." • COUGHS, COLDS, In this inclement weather, when so many are Buffering from colds, -cougha, and rheumatism, the story of Mrs'ESary Brown, of 71. Simmons Btzeet, Enmore, will be read with devouring When our reporter ctdled at this lady's residflnce he" found her busily engaged at the washtub, what she called doiDg a "day's washing." It wan indeed difficult to believe by the amount of "elbow preßse"Bh9laid into her labours that this interesting personage had lately been informed by medical men that hers was a case which would probably develop into chronic "I We called, Mrs Brown," said our reporter, "to ascertain the truth of the rumour that has reached us of your having recently suffered from a severe attack of rheumatism. ■ " It- is quits true, bafc lam now happy to relate that; I feel as well as I ever did. I have "v sufio'ing on and off from rheumatism for the lost five years, aud the slightest change m the ■v' used to gWe me most awful twinges.
