COMPLICATIONS AFTER ATTACK OF INFLUENZA.

London, Mar. 7..

The Chancellor of the Exchu- quer, Mr. Philip Snowden, who has been with influenza for some time, has developed complications, and his doctors have called in Sir John Thomson-Walker, the Harley Street specialist.

A bulletin says that he is suffer- ing from cystitis, a form of in- ternal inflammation, following his recent influenza and will be eon- fined to his room for some weeks. No anxiety need be felt. It is doubtful if Mr. will be able to present the budget to the House of Commons in April.
