tists who are observing the opera
jtionsof Spanish Influenza say
jthat. so far as the British Isles
are concerned, it moves in waves,
j The country is just recovering
from the third wave within tin;
yea r.
The disease first made its ap
pearance here last July and be
gan to subside toward the end
of August. Eight weeks later in
October, it reappeared, and by
the middle of November had ap
parently run its course. The
third wave came in January and
by the latter days of March had
apparently done its worst.
Physicians point out that if the
disease is to remain fofan indef
inite period another wave may
be expected toward the end of A
pril. and are warning the peo
ple to 1 :S necessary precautions.
