I % ....oiiamed “Sleeping
~'sicl<ness” Is Believed to Be
Contagious.
MEDICAL EXPERTS PUZZLED
Health Authorities Declare Strange
illness Has No Relation to “Sleep
ing Sickness,” Which Origi
nated In Africa.
! Washington—“ Epidemic stupor” is
the name the health authorities have
decided to give the new disease,
wrongly called sleeping sickness,
which sprang up a few weeks ago. It
has invaded eighteen American cities
and several army camps, has taken
several lives and laid hundreds under
Its spell.
The scientific name of this new mal
ady is lethargic encephalitis. It is
not “sleeping sickness” and has noth
ing to do with the real sleeping sick
ness. It has been known for only a
few years, and its cause and origin
are even more mysterious than those
of the influenza.
The disease, when it was first dis
covered in this country, was found to
ibe a form of sleeping sickness com
mon in the interior parts of Africa,
but a closer observation of the symp
toms proved this belief to be unsound.
Sleeping sickness as found in the jun
gles of Africa, is caused by the bite
of a peculiar insect, known as the
tsetse fly.
The new disease was first observed
in Austria.
The first case noted in England oc
curred February 11, 1918, and the epi
demic, which never attained large pro
portions, camd, at least, temporarily,
to an end in June. The medical re
search committee of England became
deeply interested in the new malady
and instituted clinical and pathologi
cal investigations. The committee
found the disease is a general in
fectious disorder, characterized by
manifestations originating in the cen
tral nervous system, of which the most
frequent and characteristic are pro
gressive lethargy or stupor and an in
volvement of the nerve centers con
trolling the eye muscles.
Marked by High Temperature.
Although a rise in temperature was
not observed in ail of the 164 cases
of tlie disease of which notes were ob
tained. there seemed to be little doubt
that there is always a certain amount
of fever in an early stage. The fever
usually lasts from two to five days,
but may continue for ten or even four
teen days. It may fall suddenly or
gradually with oscillation. A period
of subnormal temperature not infre
quently follows.
Usually the first symptom Is sim
ple catarrhal conjunctivitis (a mild
“pink eye”) or it may be tonsilitis —
simple sore throat and cold in the
chest. The disease may he ushered in
suddenly by a fainting attack or fit.
In marked cases the lethargy was ac
companied by heaviness of the eye
lids, pain in the eyes and blurred vi
sion. Headache is a common symp
tom. and rigidness was characteris
tic of the early symptoms of many
cases during the epidemic in England.
After the first stages, the symp
toms of a general infectious disease
become manifest. The patient lies
in bed on the back, often unable to
make any voluntary movement on ac
count of great muscular weakness;
the face is quite expressionless and
masklike, and there may be definite
double facial paralysis. The patient
is in a condition of stupor, although
true sleep is often not obtained.
No Specific Treatment.
With regard to treatment, no spe
cific method has been devised, and the
best that can be done is to put the
patient to bed and provide good nurs
ing. Cold sponging is often beneficial
during the early stages and tends to
diminish the delirium. For the pain,
numbness and tingling of the limbs
warmth is the best remedy. Consti
pation is obstinate and often difficult
to overcome, except by enemas fol
lowed by such drugs as liquid paraf
fin or phenolphthalein. No hypnotics
and no morphine or other prepara
tions of opium should be given. Daily
cleansing of the mouth and antisep
tic treatment of the nose and mouth
should be carried out and respiratory
complications systematically looked
for. The patient should be given to
understand that his convalescence
will last at least six months after the
beginning of the illness.
Officials of the United States pub
lic health service are investigating
cases of the disease in several cities.
They are especially anxious to keep
the malady out of the army camps.
The first army camp to be invaded
was Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., where
one death was reported out of nine
cases. Investigation made at the
camp showed that in each case the
soldier had been ill with Influenza.
Long Search for Daughter.
! Cookton, La.—Three years’ search
ended successfully the other day when
George Cameron arrived here to take
his daughter home to Ames, la.
James Drury, with whom the girl came
to Crookton, Is in jail, awaiting trial
on charge of theft of farm implements
from a farmer by whom he was em
ployed. It is said Drury stole to get
money to support the girl.

Bessie had a new dime to invest in
ice cream soda.
“Why don’t you give your dime to
the missions?” said the minister who
was calling.
“I thought about that,” said Bes
sie, “but I think I’ll buy the ice-cream
and let the druggist to the missions.”

A beautiful young woman inter
viewed a fortune teller on the usual
subjects.
“Lady,” said the clairvoyant, “you
will visit foreign lands, and the
courts of kings and queens. You will
conquer all rivals anjl marry the man
of your choice. He 'Vill be tall and
dark and aristocratic looking.”
“And young?” interrupted the
lady.
“Yes, and very rich.”
Thfe beautiful lady grasped the for
tune tellers hands and pressed them
hard.
“Thank you,” she said. Now tell me
one thing more. How shall I get rid
of my present husband?”—Gas Mag
azine.
A group of old ladies were talking;
and knitting on a veranda. The con- i
versation got around to how much I
each weighed at birth. One old lady
said: “Well, I weighed just three
pounds and a half.”
The others gasped and one of them
asked, “And did you live?”
“They say I did,” answered the
other woman, “and done well.”—Ex

gine stops in the air—what happens?
Can’t you get down?”

stopped. They can’t get down, so
they’re starvin to death.”—Califor

“Wonderful old oak, I wonder
what you would say to me if you

It is a custom among the Chinese
that friendly letters shall contain
messages of affection for all the fam
ily connections of the correspondent,
of both sexes. A letter received by
an American missionary, at home on
leave from China, ended in the fol
lowing way:“ Give my love to all
your family and friends, both fernal
and infernal.”—Christain Register.
