with the people and if the system
were applied to them the people
would understand it's workings and
the whole business would be wiped
out of existence in day or modified
along lines of common sense and
justice in response to the clamorous
demand Of public sentiment.
The advocates of the system
arrogantly claim that they are sus'
tanned by public opinion, yet when
any measure has been introduced
in congress in any way modifying
or restricting, this system instead
of welcoming the test, every re.
source of the most powerful lobby
in the United States-the office
holding lobby-has been exerted
to smother the measure in commit

ceeded in accomplishing their
purpose because legislation is
controlled by comparatively few
members of Congress and under
the present and past administration
of the law these few have the bull ge
on the many in the way of appoint
ments and they do not care to lose
this advantage; and the general
public knowing little about the
workings of the law care but little.
Then too, congressman and other
public officials are not lying awake
nights to devise new responsibilities
to assume and are always willing
to accept conditions as they exist
rather than assume the labor and
responsibility Of changing them
unless the public loudly demands
the change. AS matter of fact,
our present civil service system is
not sustained by public opinion
but maintained by interested parties
in defiance of it. All laws,
measures and reforms originate
first in the public mind. Statesmen
and reformers are simply the
instruments by which and through
which they are promulgated and
put to force. Public officials are,
or should be, servants of the people

the comparative rarity Of its occurrence.
I'm the present question OF possible
epidemic in Boston. 1t should be realized
that something more Ia needed to An
edidemic than the report Of the average
physician unverified by bacterioiogical
tests. There are. unfortunately, physi-
clans who ircline easily to alarmist
views. and do not go to the limit of DOS

especially to be suspected in the New
York city figures, which show no attempt
to separate deaths from primary meniT,-
gifts from those due to the secondary
forms. That dist r.tion might still leave
evidence of an epidemic, but the mortal
ity from it would certainly appear less
than present gross figures suggest
To two Massachusetts physicians, Drs,
Daniclson and Mann of Medfield belongs
the credit for the first. recognition in
America of the epidemic form of menIn-
Citis. Their work was done In 1906, when
there was an epidemic. the first recorded
in this country. The same results had
been reached during the epidemic in Ge-
neva. Switzerland. in 1906 but the Ameri-
can physicians did their work in ignor-
ance OF the other. Early descriptions of
the disease pay much attention TO the
puip!iSh spots which sometimes appear
on the skin. and which gave the disease
the name of spotted fever these spots

WHAT is MENINGITIS?
Its Pathological History-The Various
Forms and Types.

is meningitis epidemic?" one in
qures of the physician. And the care
full physician might. but probably does
not. answer thus:
epidemic meningitis crops up here
and there all the time; there are all
ways cases of it. Nevertheless l see
no signs that we have an epidemic Of
meningitis"
And this answer would not be the
mere play upon words that at first
sight it appears. There are several
distinct types of meningitis. due to diff
fCrent bacterial infections. The type
that is sometimes epidemic. as appar-
emily now in New York city. always ex-
lists. but not very often as an epidemic.
Until the last two years the mortality
statistics of Massachusetts have not
shown the true facts in regard to the
disease. 1t is certain. however. that al
most any month in the year the state
contains case of this type. How
these cases start Is not known; how
the infection is spread from one pa
tient to another is not known. But it
is plain that now and then some ad-
Justment OF conditions enables this type
Of meningitis to spread from the spora-
die cases which always exist. and null
tiply until the number and frequency
Of cases deserves the name of epidemic.
This sometimes epidemic type is ordi-
narily less common than other types,
which are not epidemic. Any just idea
of the epidemic form requires glance
at the whole group of various types Of
.,1>n Ii
why physicians in Boston are slow to
believe that the cases now being re-
ported constitute a real epidemic.
Meningitis is the name given to in
fiammatiOn of the meninges. or men,
branes which wrap the brain and spin
al cord. When the inflammation is
confined to the membranes of the brain
il is spoken of as cerebral meningitis:
when it involves both the brain and
spinal cord it is called cerebrO- spinal
meningitis. and the epidemic type car
ries this name. All types of meningi-
tbs. however. involve not only the brain.
but. to some extent, the spinal cord. and
the name cerebrO-spinal Is. therefore.
not an extremely valuable means of
distinguishing the epidemic form from
others. Our old high school physiolo-
gies. as most of us remember. told of
three membranes, the dura mater,
which is the longest and outermost;
the archnOld and the pla mater, which
lies close TO the brain surface. Nova
days, the latter two are considered as
one membrane. spoken of as the pia. of
pia -arachnoid. Its structure is in
point here. 1t has two surfaces, often
considerably separated, but Joined by
loose connective tissue. 1t contains va
rious connecting lymph spaces by
which it is joined with the general
lympathic system of the body. and 1t
carries the blood vessels which supply
