SPANISH INFLUENZA.

Dr. E. C. English went to Lafayette on the 1:57 p. m. train to see his son, Walter English, whose condition is very critical. His temperature this morning was 105. A Rensselaer physician reports that he has sixty cases of influenza. They are chided about equally between the city and the country. Among the number the following are very serious: Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Lane, M’ary Jane Brown and Mrs. Paul Norgor. Another physician reports that the following are quite serious: Mrs. Homer Hendrickson, Paul Schultz and the family of William Woodworth.' He estimates that there are one hundred twenty-five cases of the “Flu” in this city. * A third physician reports that he is making seventy calls a day and that he has a few cases of ‘‘Flu” that are very severe and many that are" quite mild. His estimate of the number of cases in the city agrees with the other physician quoted.
