chitis or other serious diseases which
follow readily in such cases.
Despite the great number of stu-
dents who have'applied to the Health
Service for treatment, hospitalization
has been provided in all serious cases.
The severity of the epidemic has
not changed, although the Health
Service hopes t o have it under con-
trol by the end of this week.
The epidemic began more than a
week ago. Fifty students are being
cared for at the Health Service while
more than 125 were given treatment
and ordered to bed at home.
Dr. Brace urged students to treat
themselves immediately upon feeling
the first symptoms, unusual fatigue,
fever, or a cold, rest and ;drinking
liquids and fruit juices being more
important than medication.
The exact nature of the affliction
is unknown. It invariably affects
some portion of the respiratory tract.
It may be influenza, grippe, or a
common cold, according to Dr. For-.
sythe. Three or four days in bed,
with a proper liquid diet is -sufficient
to cure the illness.
