Influenza.— The number of deaths from Influenza increased daring the year
to 115, the number in the previous year having been 49. The accompanying
table shows the number of deaths annually, at various ages and at all ages,
since the first epidemic in 1889. From this it will be seen that 1891 and 1892
were the worst years, and that last year was not far behind; this was, no
doubt, attributable to the severe winter.
