Be On Aiert. "In dealing with this treach erous disease, and with only the meager knowledge about it that any one possesses at this time, health officers and physicians throughout the state should be on alert for appearance of any attacks of influenza. “In connection with the cases occurring at this time, a trou blesome sore throat seems to be one of the principally symptoms. Sore throat of itself, as every physician knows, is often a treacherous problem to deal with. One form of sore throat alone, technically known as sep tic sore threat, is practically as bad as diptheria. “Septic sore throat can be conveyed through such vehicles as niilk and other food.
