Symington, pub lic health officer. It will be recalled that the terrible epidemic of 1913 came on suddenly, with virulent cases from the start, although progressing in intensity and virulence as the epi demic spread. In dealing with this treacherous di sease, and with only th>e meager knowledge about it that any one pos sesses at this time, it is well that everyon'e throughout the state should be on the alert for the appearance of any attacks of influenza. In connec tion with the cases occuring at this time, a troublesome sore throat seems to be one of the principal symptoms. Sore throat of itself, as every physi cian knows, is often a treacherous problem to deal with. One form of sore throat alone, technically known as septic sore throat, is often as bad as diphtheria. Septic sore throat can be conveyed through such vehicles as milk and other food. Effects on such organs as the kidneys, especially i'l small children, are often fatal. This notice cannot be considered in the form of news to many but it may be regarded as a caution with regard to a matter that in the past has of ten been of such serious import to all the pvM)ple.
