DIOLCHGARWOH. CYHOEDDEB YR ARLYWYDD WILSON. Rhoddwn yma gvnwys y gyhoeddeb:— "Y ydym er's amser maith wedi arfer troi, yn hydref y flwyddyn, mewn mawla dioich- garwch at Dduw Hollalluog am ei fendith- ion lluosog a'i drugareddau i ni fel cenedl. Y flwyddyn hon y mae genym achos ar- benig i fod yn ddiolchgar ac i lawenhau. Mae Duw, o'i ewyllys da, wedi rhoddi heddwch i ni. Nid yw wedi dyfod yn unig fel cadoediad, a gollyngdod oddiwrth ddir- dyniad ac erchylldra rhyfel. Y mae wedi dyfod fel buddugoliaeth fawr iawnder. Mae buddugoliaeth lwyr wedi dwyn i ni nid heddwch yn unig, ond hefyd addewid sicr o ddydd newydd yn yr hwn y bydd i gyfiawnder gympryd lie gallua dichell- waith eiddigeddus yn mysg y cenhedloedd. Cymerwyd rhan gan ein byddinoedd dewr mewn buddugoliaeth nad yw wedi ei difwyno na'i ystaenio gan unrhyw bwrpas o ymosodiad hunangar. Mewn achos cyfiawn y maent wedi enill anrhydedd bythol, ac wedi gwasanaethu eu cenedl yn ardderchog wrth wasanacthu dynolryw. Mae Duw, yn wir, wedi bod yn dirion. Yr, ydvm yn meddu achos am y fath la- wenydd ag sydd yn adfywio a chryfhau ynom holl draddcdiadau goreu ein hanes cenhedlaethol.. Mae dydd newydd yn llewyrchu o'n hamgylch yn yr hwn y mae ein calonau yn derbyn dewrder newydd ac yn edrych yn mlaen gyda gobaith newydd at ddyledswyddau newydd a mwy. Tra yr ydym yn rhoddi diolchgarwch am y pethau hyn, na fydded i ni anghofio ceisio yr arweiniad dwyfol yn nghyflawniad y dyledswyddau hyny, a cheisio trugaredd a maddeuant dwyfol am bob bai mewn bwriad a phwrpas, a gweddio am i ni yn yr oil a wnawn gael cryfhau rhwymau cyf- eillgarwch a pharch, ar yr hyn y mae'n rhaid i ni gynorthwyo i godi yr adeilad newydd o heddwch ac ewyljys da yn mhiith y cenhedloedd.

I About the 'Flu. A DOCTOR SUGGESTS THE NEW FORM OF EPIDEMIC IS CAMOUFLAGE. We are in the grip of a new disease, But is it a new disease, or an old one revivified ? It has been given an old name, iufluenza." Most people think that both the name and the disease are comparatively recent, their knowledge not going farther back than the great influenza epidemic of 1889-92, called then the Russian influenza, because the epidemic appeared to start in Siberia. But, as a matter of fact, both disease and name are immensely old. The word is Italian for the influence," and take us back to a time when the causation of disease was attributed to the malign influence of plauets, or of sup- ernatural beings. Records of influenza-like epidemics can be traced as far back as the year 1173. From 1 5 10 onwards the accounts are fairly exact, so that the disease can be indentified with cel tainty, In the sixteenth century there were three big epidemics, in the next two centuries twelve, and in the last century there were six. I NOT SO FRIGHTFUL. But is the latest epidemic Pfeiffer-bacillus disease ? Well, perhaps it isn't. It appears indeed likely to spread over the greater part of the world, including the Central Powers, but the characteristic tedious recovery and the horrible mental depression are fortuna- tely absent. Possibly the out-breack is caused, like the war, by the vagary of a race of living beings which have long been known and have long lived quietly side by side with us. Possibly, again, it is due to a race of Pfeiffer-bacillus which has acquired the art of camouflage, and abandoned much of its frightfulness. Finally it may be caused be a combination of bacteria. The question is by no means easy, and the researches are not yet complete. How to avoid getting the present epidem- ic ? Avoid the neighbourhood of those who have it, or who have had it recently. Have thorough breez y ventilation everywhere. Avoid crowded places, of amusement or otherwise. Travel on the outsides of trams and omnibuses. Sleep with windows wide open. Get plenty of fresh air. Avoid get- ting run down, and avoid stimulants. What to do if you think you have got it ? Send for a doctor, because, firstly, it may be something else and secondly, if it is the present epidemic it is sufficiently serious to require medical supervision. In some parts a mortality of as much as two per cent, is reported. Be one of the other ninety-eight. IF YOU ARE ATTACKED. What to do before the doctor comes ? Go to bed. Warn off all relatives and friends. Don't invite enemies, because it won't stop with them. Have the windows wide open. Keep cool, avoid getting cold. Eat as much as you feel inclined of light food. This will be less than your rations. Drink as much as you feel inclined of non- alcoholic fluids, and this will be more than usual, but water isn't rationed so far. How to avoid passing the disease on ? Have thorough ventilation everywhere. Sneeze and cough into a hankerchief. Spit into papers wich are afterwards burnt, or into receptacles containing germicide, so as carbolic acid one in twenty, or corrosive sub- limate one in one thousand. If you follow the above advice, the disea- se's attack will be minimised, and its spread greatlv. rerluced.- Trwy law CYMRO.
