The manifestations of Influenza in this section of the country during
the past two months have been numerous and varied, although the malady
has been far less directly fatal than on its first appearance in the
winter of 1889–90. The different types of the disease, the pulmonary,
the nervous and the abdominal, have been less distinctly marked, but it
has been especially severe in the case of elderly people when appearing
as an intercurrent affection. Another noticeable feature is, that the
disease has shown a greater disposition to attack children than in
former years, although when children have been enjoying usually good
health, fatal results have been rare. This, however, has not been the
case with sickly or puny children, as the disease has manifested itself
in various ways, such as throat, ear and other complications. In many
cases nothing more than the peculiar pains characteristic of the disease
have been noticed; in others, it has passed off with nothing more
serious than would result from a bad cold, so that large numbers have
fought it out on this line. The prevalence of the malady in the vicinity
of Philadelphia, and we presume this observation holds good elsewhere,
has been wide spread, showing conclusively that it is largely dependent
upon atmospheric influences. Indeed, up to the present writing, the
condition of the weather has been extremely favorable to the development
of influenza, and we all hope that better weather during the remainder
of the winter will tend to check its spread.
