RICH, POOR Special Investigator. for Daily Tribune Goes to Hospital Where Most Cases Are Being Treated and, Learns From Physician-Specialists How En- cephalitis Affects Its Victims. First Thorough Investigation of “The Sleep That Isn’t Sleep” BY E.-C. RODGERS. N. E. A. Staff‘Correspondent Detailed | to Investigate the Lethargic Ence. Phalitis Epedemic. Chicago, ‘Mar. 21—In Cook county hospital five persons He suspended at the brink of death. Some of them ha, been in a state of coma for days. Doc- tors and nurses could do little but shake the patiénts out of a trance- like stupor and administer medicines atid liquid food. Neither of which pa- teats seemed to know they were tak- Ing. . They were victims of lethargic en- cephalitis, the new disease which has appeared in widely scattered portions of the. United States first in Chicago, , Where now hundreds of physicians are watching every fll person for signs of what has ‘been, called “sleep-death.” Dr. ‘John Dill Robertson, Chicago health commissioner, has begun a sys- tematic campaign to- find out what causes the new disease and how best; it"may be treated: MOST PATIENTS HAVE RECOVERED. oS ‘Two deaths, ‘both children, have) ‘been reported here. Other patients} have recovered, some after remaining | in a stupor for days. Encephalitis attacks both young and aged, negro and. white, rich and poor; the well nourished and the un- derfed alike fall into THE SLEEP WHICH ISN’T SLEEP. It is slightly contagious, some doc- tors insist, while others ‘say there is no danger of contagion. Five persons were, in that death- like stupor at the Cook county hos- pital, and the physician permitted a Daily Tribune photographer to take a picture of one woman patient, wita her relatives ‘consent, because, as he said, it might‘help to find the solu- tion of the cure. He thought’ every- vody ought ‘to-learn‘about this new disedse, so they might not be unduly frightened if it should ‘strike within, tHélr own homes. -FACE OF AFFLICTED UES WAX-LIKB. a sThe encephn..tis uptient: had beeu ia stupor several’ ways. She lay still: as death, her breathing scarce- ly |perceptible. Her face was way- like. I have seen faces from which life had fled, and I was refhigded of them as I watched the nurse‘ waken the patient from her stupor to givd thedicine. * *For several minutes she shook the per, talking to her the while. She hot answer. ‘Finally her. eyes opened, ‘but she asid' not a word. -A twiching® muscle Was. noticeablé. That ended when the nurse allowed the sick woman to} Igy ‘back her head upon the pillow and resume her sleep. Medicine given: her, the -doctor. in-| formed me, was bitter, but tha pa- tient allowed % to trickle down her throat as she “would have so much tasteless water. It was the same with food, the nurse. ‘explained; evidently the taste neryes are silenced. FOLLOWS SOME INFLUENZA CASES. ‘She had influenza- last fall,” doctor said. “This followed.”. “What is this new disease, doctor ji asked. + “Go and see Dr. Peter Bassoe,” he suggested. “Dr. Bassoe known more: about it than any other American phy-} steian. ‘He has written a book on Hervous and mental diseases in which this. new. disease is exactly defined.” | Dr. Bassoe is professor of nervous and mental diseases at Kush Medical college. \ BIAGNOSCD AS ACUTE s } NERVOUS D'SEASE. ““Encepnalitis,” Dr. Bassoc told me, ‘la an acute neyous disease. It af- fects both sexes, all ageg and colors. It is not contagious, and is fot always fatal. Most ‘cases may last a few days, and instances are kyown where Patients were in a stupor tor two months.” ~ : i “Don’t mistake it for the. so-called; ‘sleeping sickness’ of Africa. It is not caused ‘by the bite of the tsetse fly.. There is a world of difference. “Encephalitis follows influenza. It is a winter and spring disease, and will probably affect one in ten thousand persons. who ‘bad influenza. It mayy attack those who had light attacks gt influenza as well as those more se verely ill. It followed influenza here 18 ‘years ago, but was diagnosed as a form of meningitis.. In Europe then \it..was. called ‘mona, and there fol- Jowed influenza epidemics. NAMED IN 1917 ®@Y VON ECONOMO. “Under. the name ‘encephalitis’ the disease bas ‘been known only since early in 1917, when it appeared: in Vi- etina, and jthe ‘celebrated Austrian physician Von_Economo, coined the name ‘encephalitis lethargica, having been impressed by the prominence of lethargy in the cases. A sithilar: epi- demic occurred in England and ¥rance in the following year, starting jm midwinter and ending ~ in — late spring. The death gate was highest in England, 35 ‘per cent; and lowest | in Austria. less than five per cent dy: j ‘ing. Si “There is no reason for American people to be frightened.

The shortage of help has\ taken thousands of women back to their own kitchens to,do their own cooking. And how ‘natural:they should revive the cookie, doughnut, pie’ and other dis- tinctly. American-dishes. But the rec- ipes have been revised; flour is coarser and different; less wheat and more of other kinds, and a ‘lot of indigestion ‘was complained of. It_is gratifying to know you can safely eat any kind. of:flour food with- out ‘consequent distress. Simply take a Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet after meals. Not only does it aid digestion, but it arouses the stomach to secrete the juices necessary to relieve sour- ness, heartburn, gas, the sense of stuffiness and the drowsiness that so often follow the good things you eat. Try these tablets and you will then realize what inftence they have, not only to assist digestion, but as con- tributing in a- remarkable de; to the sense of comfort and well-being. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are sold ili-" in| secure the cla: in all drug stores at 50 cents a box, and throughout the United “States and Canada. - i BULL SALE POSTPONED A Pressburg| ’ The bull sales to be held at Hankin- 3 that martial law has been declared | son; Valley City and Bismarck, will be SEATS AT HARRIS AND COMPANY pular Price JOHNSON’S "2.2: BISMARCK’S..
