Prevalence of the Grip

New York, 1895

The grip has come again, and is proving fatal in a great many cases. The death rate in New York has become alarming, 171 deaths being recorded in 24 hours. There is a preventive for grip and it may be had at Peck's Hall of Pharmacy. Persons in good health at present should insure themselves by using this medicine.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, N.Y., Jan. 11, 1895, p. 1.
