these institutions Of a strange NAL
ady apparently of an epidemic nature
which for a time bafled physicians,
but which is now-in two of these
schools, at least-declared to be pto-
maine poisoning, due to the eating Of
impure Western meats, a serious Sit
uation has developed for the consider

This announcement was made here
in connection with the illness of more
than forty cadets at the Georgia Mill

mile from Atlanta, the majority Of

affected are Lagrange Female College,
