THREATS OFJNFLUENZA. ITS DANGERS. ENGLISH AND CONTINENTAL ADVICE. The increased mortality last season from Lung Affections following attacks of Influenza emphasizes more than ever the necessity for nursing- an initiatory cold. Especially since the advices from England, The Continent, and America indicate that there has been raging in all those countries an epidemic of Influenza of the most virulent type. It is o*nly natural that Australia will in turn have the same. It is well to take into account in such connection that our winter months are generally considered the most fatal for pneumonia, especially when influenza is prevailing even in mild epidemic form. Thus far we have escaped a,visitation of a virulent.form of the latter malady, but there is abundance of time and opportunity for the development of a severe epidemic, with the usual aftermath of alarming mortality. The effective treatment of an ordinary 'cold' is a matter of a day or two against a possible subsequent sickness for weeks. - The indications of a severe attack of influenza are headache, chilliness, general muscular pains, ; fever, sore throat, cough and systemic lassitude. When these show themselves no time is to be lost and the patient should give up work at once and promptly place himself under proper medical care.
