grippe reigns with undisputed sway
over this fair city. No type or dees
Is exempt from tie baneful touch and
age nor condition ' offers Immunity
from lie terror*.
To the victims of this dire and wide
spread disease, the following accurate
description by Mr. H. Tupper of
Its nerve-destroying emyptome will ep,
peal with humoroue realism even amidst
the aches end palne Incident to the
attack:
"lot grippe Is a strange Influence
that Influences one to jump out of a
window when the dreadful epidemic

control over the supply, reelly gives
you more then you demand. Ae soon
as you rnumermand the order, the
grip edges sideways up to you. gripe
you tightly and Itausa a Contra-coun
termand.
''A low cloud of dlsxlnesy hovsrs over
you. At this stage ef the game the
United Trust of the Anvil Association
brings forth sledge hammers and pro
ceeds to pound you on the head with
‘frensled finance' fury. The knocks are
so hard and distracting that you can
see myriads of shooting stare and
darting comets all through the noctur
nal hours. It Is lovely! Only those
who have traveled the road can appre
ciate or attempt to depict the scenery.
''The thunder rolls, and the quinine
gets busy, and Ignites with some of
tb* many other concoctions t'hat the
benevolent doctors dope: yno up with,
