at the hospital, reported the seven
others stricken by an intestinal dis
order had taken a turn for the better
No new cases were reported but
•cientists exerted every effort to reach
an important objective—the findms
of the cause of the disease that has
puzzled medical men for several years
It has been diagnosed as enteritis
or acute epidemic diarrhea. The
soource of the scourage was believed
to be a virus.
Dr. Richard H. Jaffe. director ol
^ the Pathological Institute of the

laboratory tests aimed at ascertain
ing the source of the ailment.
I His autopsies showed marked
changes in the brains of the twc
Infants he examined. The same in
’ fections were found in botn bodies
His studies tended to support the
theory that the disease was caused
* by r virus invisible under a micro
scope.
The importance of his research was
enhanced by the report of Dr. Her
man N. Bundesen, president of the
Board of Health, relating that simi
lar outbreaks had occurred in recent
years in New York, Toronto, Mem
phis. Seattle. Buffalo and Rochester,
N. Y.. and in Fiance and Scotland.
