DEAF MUTE THOUGHT
SHE HAD INFLUENZA
Alarmed Mt Imaginary Symptoms. Il
Rushed to Hospital. to Find She
Is Vtctim Of Fear.

The first known humorous incident
of the present influenza emergency
came to light yesterday. and. despite
sombre surroundings. produced what
were perhaps the first real smiles that
have been seen in the John Marshall
emergency hospital since the building
was hurriedIy converted into refuge
for pneumonia and grippe sufferers
more than week ago.
A. hurry call for an ambulance was
received at the Institution during the
evening, One was dispatched post
haste. 1t returned shortly afterward
and stretchsr- bearers met 1t at the en-
trance to the building and very ten
derby lifted a stretcher with its pre-
cious human cargo out of the vehi-
Gle and as tenderly bore 1T into the
receiving room.
An examination was made OF the
patient, young woman, and, to the
amazement OF the nurse who sound
ed'' the supposed sufferer for symp-
toms, 1t was found that there were
none.
An explanation was sought and in
quiry developed that the young wo-
man was deaf and dumb. as was a
young man who accompanied her to
the hospital.
In the absence OF anyone who could
converse" with their fingers. resort
was had to pencil and paper, and the
young man vouchsafed that the young
woman had complained OF unusual
pains. Failing in an effort to procure
physician, and concluding that she
had influenza, the two decided to take
no chances.
They appeared to be greatly relieved
when they learned that there was
nothing the matter with the young
! woman. and were profuse In their
thanks and apologies They left the
building with their faces wreathed in
smiles.

Up to the time of the announce

pneumonia cases on which II has been
used by DR.. Samuel Budd. of the

in dying condition when this treat

these two have died. The results IN
