Miss Reta Price of Portland, formerly
of Corvallis, who, for the pact two or
three weeks. has been quite i'll at St.
Vincent's hospital is improving. About
six months ago Miss Price noticed that
her health was faiiing but not until three
months ago was it thought to be at all
serious. Since that time she has con-
suited eight or ten of Portland's' best
physicians, but the cause of the trouble
was not located until about three weeks
ago when she consulted the noted Dr. E.
E. Gable. He at once informed her of
the trouble and advised an operation.
Drs. Cable and Spencer performed the
operation on the 3Ist of May, and it is
entirely successful.
Cerebro-s spinal meningitis is the die
ease which has recently caused the dea
0 ia large number of horses at Sumpter.
This is th4 declaration made by De. G
J. Korinek, of Salem, who was sent to
Sumpter by Governor Cham berlain in
response to an appeal from the mayor of
Sumpter, He Gays there is no doubt as
to the identity of the disease. bout
half the horses attacked by the disease
have died. Thus far it seems to be con-
faed to Sumpter valley. The horses
afflicted lose control of their muscles for
time; fall down, and in the worst cases
suffer paralysis and finally die. The
cause of the disease is uncertain, but DR..
KorInek believes it to be due either to
the water or oats. Rauge horses have
not been afflicted.-Ex. .ts*.
