NEW MALADIES OF THE WAR
AvIators and Telegraphers Have De-
Veloped Ailments Which Call
for Special Treatment.

During the European war several
military aviators have been suffering
from airsickness. This new malady
is liable to attack any aeropiane pilot
who flies for length of time without
descending. The aviator thus attacked
is affected with a sickly nausea &C
companied by severe headache and a
violent desire to sleep. Swift descents
through the air bring on these symp-
toms, which medical men say are
caused by the blood circulation of an
aviator being unable to adopt itself
at once to the rapid change of atmos-
pheric pressure caused by sudden
drops in the air.
Telegrapher's spasm is a malady
which has afflicted many telegraph
and wireless operators in the war. The
complaint is caused by the continual
operation of the key used in connec-
ton with Geographic apparatus. Few
people realize the strain entailed by
tapping for hours at a stretch with one
hand the instrument which sends code
