THE EPIDEMIC.
For the last month our thoughts have been busy and our hands employed with the scourge of influenza. Never before has our Dominion had so serious a visitation. It followed close upon the news of peac e*, and tempered our joy with tears. It caught us unprepared, and at a time when our doctors and nurses were few, and the few left were* overtaxed and suffering from the past years of strain and hard work ; but they rose magnificently to «he occasion, and the selfless devotion to duty exhibited bv both doctors and nurses is beyond all praise. Many of them gave life in the discharge of duty, and well have they earned the crown for “duty done.” We sympathise with all who have sorrowed and suffered, and pray that God may comfort afl who mourn.
