Tlie usual general symptoms which accompany fever are present. Convalescence is frequently protracted, and it may be three or four weeks before the general health is regained. Often there is in aiblilion a mild coryza at the outset and a slight but persistent cough. More severe attacks are characterised by higher teiii])ei'aturc, Ijut only moderate prostration.

Prompt cessation of fever on removal from the city. except that the local symptoms and physical signs in the chest are want- ing. The onset is usually abrupt with vomiting and headache, rarely with convulsions. The temperature ranges from 100° to 106.5° F. It seldom remains steadily high, but fluctuates widely, often being sub- normal. I have repeatedly seen a temperature of over 106° F. in nncornplicated influenza.
