Or. SEAMAN SPEakS ON
"SLEePiNG SICKNESS"
Army Surgeon and Physician Talks to
Hampton Normal School
Students.
(By w. A. Arey.)

10y w. A. Alcy.J
Major Louis Livingston Seaman. a
graduate of Cornell and Of medical
colleges In Philadelphia and New
York, who has made special study
|of Oriental diseases and is the author
of The Sleeping Sickness OF Africa.
delivered a most interesting and help
full stereopticon lecture. dealing with
Africa, before the Hampton Institute
workers and students, on Saturday
evening, in Cleveland Hall chapel.
Before discussing the lecture on
Africa il should be noted that DR.. Sea
man served with the United States
army in the Philippines and in the
Spanish-American war, with the allied
armies at the siege of Pekin. with the
army of Japan in Manchuria. and
with the German army in East Africa.
At the age of 10 years the now famous
EXPERT on sanitation, Louis Livingston
Seaman, ran away from home and
volunteered for the Civil war From
that, time to this he has been f1ghting
for what he has thought TO be right.
DR.. Seaman came TO Hampton from
Richmond, where he recently ad
dressed the National Congress of Mil
itary Surgeons.
In a graphic style Major Seaman
outlined the ravages of the tse tse NY
in Africa. He stated that at present
there are twenty-five camps in Africa
where the victims of the sleeping SICK
ness are segregated and cared for as
well as possible He had thrown on
the screen pictures of the germs which
are obtained from slesping sickness
victims and developed in the body OF
the tse tse fly. to be injected into hu-
man beings, thus causing the spread
of sleeping sickness. The germs use
up the oxygen in the human bloc
and cause the victim to gradually lose
strength, and in the later stages OF
sleeping sickness frequently mania
precades death.
DIR. Seaman declared that it has
been found in experiment that the
tse tse fly does not travel bevond loo
feet from the water, and that as a
preventive measure The modern Afrl
can villages aoe being built consid-
cradle distance back from the streams
and pools, and the regions along the
shores are cleared. so far as possible
of the brush which furnishes con-
yenient breeding place for the dan
gerous kind of tse tse fly. The lee
turer also made clear that manv OF
the African animals are yearly killed
of by the germs which are carried
by a second variety of tse tse fly.
DIR. Seaman showed some well col
ored and interesting lantern slides
dealing with the African game life
and the geography of the country
through which Colonel Roosevelt made
his famous hunting expedition
Throughout the lecture DR.. Seaman
paid a tribute to the excellent quail
ity of his African guides, gun bearers
and camp assistants.
