SDOtted Fever.

There is considerable talk in this re.
gion, at present, concerning spotted fe.
yer and other kindred diseases, but there
appears to be very little known about
them, hence the preparation and publ.
cation Of tue following concerning them
The name OF spotted fever was given
to a disease which prevailed in New En-.
gland, New York and Pennsy ylvania from
1907 to 1915. 1t was considered at the
time to be form of typhus fever. The
name has recently by some writer's been
applied to the disease generally known
as cerebro-spinal meningitis, the opin-
ion being held that the diseases are iden
tical The reason for the name ia the
occurrence, during the progress of the
disease, of dark or purple spots which
are caused by small extravasations OF
blood in the.skin. AS these spots oc-
cur in only certain proportion Of cases,
and are present in other affections, the
name spotted lever Is not appropriate
Spinal Meningitis is an inflammation oil
the membranes ot the spinal cord, and
corresponds to inaamation of the cor.
responding membranes of the brain and
rarely occurs independently OF cerebral
meningitis, except 10 cases produced by
injuries or diseases of the spinal column
or structural affections within the spina
canal. The symptoms are pain in the
spine and in the extremiies, increased
more by movement OF the body than by
pressure. There are also spasms OF the
muscles of the back, often producing {
rigid bending hack of the body. Dill.
cult breathing and paralysis follows
when death ensues
Epidemic Cerebro, Spinal Aeninsitis il
the most common affection and the vas
majority of cases of this disease are o
epidemic origin, and the spinal lesion
are secondary affections, depending oil
. blood poisoning. The disease usual.
/, begins with q chill, followed by grea
: vertigo, violent headache, obstinate vom
iting, and muscular stiffness, which 500
passes into tetanus. The face is pale
: the pupils of the eyes contracted, ski
t very sensitive, head strongly draw
: back, delirium followed by stupor. Th
temperature OF the body runs over 10

i ond day dark or purple eruption {
q spots about the size of the head OF
pin appear on the neck, abdomen, bacl
b arms, legs and face. They are not rsii
y ed and do not disappear when rubbe

n a few hours to several weeks but Il
h large part of deaths occur between tt
second and fifth DAYS.

p@ The beer product Of the United
States in 1880, counting it by gallons,
was 533, 1884 400, or more than ten gal
Ions each for every man. woman and
child in the country. The growth oi
the beer interest in this country within
the last eighteen years has been simply
enormous In 1863 the entire product
amounted to ], 1,765, 1927 barrels, while in
1880 it amounted to l3.347 ITO barrels.
AS the munufacture of distilled and vi
nous liquors has also been largely in
creased during the same period, it is
every evident that the American people
are rather retrograding than advancing
in the cause of total abstinence.
