Show THE relative condition of Cedar City and the other towns of southern Utah, regardjng the influenza epidemic, have reversed in the past two weeks. We were one of the first towns to contract the disease this year and the disease spread rapidly, making the situation sit-uation serious for a time with us; but now the plague has about run itself out, for want of subjects not rendered ren-dered immune by previous attacks, to feed on, and is rapidly subsiding. While, on the other hand, St. George, Parowan, Kanab, Kanarra and Harmony and a number of other settlements which were apparently safe and secure are now in the grip of the malady. It seems as if when the "flu" starts In a country it keeps right on until it samples all of us, and there is no way of avoiding it. This is one disease that it is mighty good to have had. The past tense of the verb is much better than the present or future tense, when associated with influenza. |
