Extremely Healthy Winter
According to reports received from
tho local physicians this has thus far
been an extremely healthy winter.
There has been very little sickness
and scarcely any that has, been of any
moment. No epidemic of any kind
has been found and the slight Indis
positions that havo been reported were
mostly colds.
Several physlclanB wero Interviewed
yesterday on this question and they all
agreed that this winter has been one
of tho best for some time sp far as
healthy weather was concerned. It
has been quite cold and there have
been several changes In tho tempera
ture, but they wero for tho most part
gradual and wero nop such, as to
causo Illness. The sickness that is
most provalent is pneumonia, and it
is closely followed by lagrlppe.
Neither have been reported , to any
great extent.
