N.B.—It must be remembered that, on the one hand, amongst
the deaths registered from Influenza, some are due to other causes
as well, e.g., lung diseases, phthisis, heart disease, old age, etc.,
whilst, on the other hand, many deaths registered from lung diseases
are, in reality, deaths due to the sequelæ of Influenza.
