Epidemics of influenza have been known for very many years, but it looks na though they were begin- ning to have less serious results as time goes by.

When fatal results follow they are usually due to the complications which enauc, and in 1010 these were entirely the result of paeumonia.

The present epidemic is compara- lively mill in form, and no particular complications have resulted. There
