VICTIM OF ODD DISEASE
CALMLY AWAITS DEATH
No Help For Syracuse University Stu
dent Who Is Suffering From
Ascending Paralysis.

SYRACUSE, July 13.-The medical
fraternity is more puzzled than ever
over the cases Of two students Of
Syracuse University who became af-
hicted with ascending paralysis.
The condition Of Charles S. Sleeth is
gradually growing worse. and Il is only
matter OF a short time when he must
succumb 10 the strange disease
Since II. Lee Smith died Monday the
physicians have been trying to persuade
the family to let them hold an autopsy.
1t is generally believed by the medical
fraternity that the disease is caused by
a germ the same as consumption.
II is not contagious but is considered
to be infectious. II is said that Il may
be brought on by exposure 10 extreme
heat or cold or by overwork
The strange part Of IL is that the two
students became afflicted at about the
same time.
The paralysis on the body of young
Sleeth Is gradually creeping up toward
the mead. II has now reached the res
piratcry organs and the medulIa, which
Is the highest point Of the spinal col
umn
Breathing is becoming harder and
harder, and TIE attending physician,
DR.. Charles +. Wiley said this after
noon that It Is simply a question Of the
strength OF the young mans vitality.
