INFLUENZA.
The 149 deaths registered from this disease showed an increase of 28 over the
the uncorrected average of the preceding nine years. By far the largest number

In the succeeding table it will be noticed that since 1896, when only 33 deaths occurred, there has been a gradual increase in the mortality; for in 1897 it will be noticed that 47 were registered; in 1898 65; in 1899 126, and in 1900 149.
