cEREaRo-sP1NAL MENINGITIS.
Malignant Disease Prevailing in Epi-
demic Form-Children Most Susceptible


The death of Mr.. Charlton T. Lewis from
cerebro-spinal meningitis emphasizes the
well-known malignancy of the disease, es-
pecially in the epidemic form. in which 1t
is now prevailing. Although mostly dis
ease of childhood. it not infrequently at
tacks adults, and often in Its most fatal
form The general mortality differs in diff
ferent epidemics and ranges from 20 to IS
per cent. 1t Is estimated that the rate in
and around New York is at present fully
so per cent, the greatest number of vic

Then follow stiffness of the muscles of the
back of the neck, extreme irritability of the
skim occasional commissions, a SPOTTED
eruption covering more or less of the body,
and lastly profound and persistent coma.
When the latter symptom occurs the case
generally takes a Rapidly progressive and
hopeless course.
The explanation for these phenomena is
to be found in the post-mortem changes
noted in the brain and spinal column, which
indicate the occurrence of a severe inftam-
nation of those parts. In the majority of
instances the base of the brain is most
profoundly affected and is covered by
thick film of suppurating effusion.
When 1t is considered that tuberculosis
meningitis, which is so uniformly fatal,
resembles in many respects the infiamma-
tory conditions of spotted fever 1t is often
a wonder that any declared case of the lat
ter could possibly recover and IL so that
the fortunate patient could escape with a
clear intellect. Fortunately. however, the
victims who survive are exceptionally free
from mental faint. although often in the
chronic cases there are months of invalid
ism before the cure Is complete.
In order that there may not be any in
ordinate fear of the contagiousness of the
disease it is well to recolect that the ques-
ton Of direct communicability is quite def
initely settled on the negative side. How
1t can be carried from one individual to
another is still a matter OF doubt. That it
must be of an infectious character cannot
be denied, but how 1t may be spread. how

how scatter itself over different isolated re-

Have Wrong Inscription.

At the last reunion of the Army
OF the Cumberland very singular
state of affairs was developed by
letter to the society from Whitelaw
Reid, challenging the correctness of
the official inscription upon the mon
uments to the Ohio regiments and bat
teries erected by the State of Ohio,
through it's Battlefield Commission, in
the Shiloh National Park. The follow
ing extract from Mr.. Reid's letter
speaks for itself:
81 should like to ask this socitey to
consider If 1t does not yet owe duty
to itself and to its honored dead. Of
fetal publications have only recently
come to my knowledge in which, aside
from personal errors that need not
now be noticed. there appears
strange distortion of facts as to when
the several parts of the Army of the
Ohio became engaged with the enemy
on the 9th and 9TH of April, 1862
An old book of my own, Ohio in
the War. printed long before the Of
fetal reports were accessible, is quot
ed as one authority for these state
ments; but in some few cases have
been able to collate they neither agree
with that work nor with the official
reports nor with themselves, and the
time when certain regiments went
into action is set down on the very
monuments the state have erected on
the spot three or four hours after
they had been hotly engaged and the
field had been well nigh regained.
Y, neither this is due to a laundering
effort to shield names which need no
such treacherous props to their solid
renown. and to do 1t at the expense
of the Army of the Ohio, or whether
it is due to mere incompetence. the
effect is the same. Can your society
in loyalty to itself and to its martyrs
on that field permit these misrepre-
sentations to stand?"
In consequence of the receipt Of the
above letter. resolution was passed
that the corresponding secretary for
ward copies of the same to the gov
ernor of Ohio and the Secretary of
War, requesting them to take meas
ures to test the accuracy of the in
scriptions that have been challenged.
