This second relapse rarely lasts longer
than three days and is generally milder'
than the previous parozysms. In some in.
stances there are as many as eleven re-
lapses.
Not only do the relapses in Mr.. Roose-
velt's case prove the nature Of his infec.
ton, but two particular circumstances
have occurred which link his present con-
dition very definitely with relapsing fever.
One Of these was an attack of mastoiditis
not great while ago, and the other is the
recent attack of sciatica, for which he
sought treatment in. the Roosevelt Hospi-
tai These circumstances will at once be
seen to possess special significance when
considered in conjunction with Sir Patrick
Mansions teaching as to the complications
likely to occur as late sequels of relapsing
fever, namely, disease Of the ears and
neuritis. Sir Patrick Manson is the great
English physician who instructs in such
subjects as these at the London School OF
Tronical Medicine, and there is no higher
authority Of the world. He discusses re-

future usefulness or capacity for mischief

ject's endowments-of our restless ex-
PRESIDENT
From the medical standpoint it stands
to reason that while Mr.. Roosevelt will
probably continue to furnish for a good
many years performances and revelations
of the kind that we have learned to asso-
ciate with his curiously interesting per
sonality, such performances and reyela-
tons will progressively lose in their de-
gree Of punch and FEASIBILITY. because the
mental and physical virility of the man can
never again be what it was in the days
before infectious disease and grievous
complications seized upon our aging apos-
tie of the strenuous life.
The destiny of Mr.. Roosevelt henceforth
is that set forth for men in his present
state by Cicero; he must hight, as it we're,
against disease, and in like manner against
old age-more merciless foes than this
stricken political gladiator has ever known.
Like Appius. the old Roman, he will here
after be feared only by slaves. To the
counsels of the prudent he will contribute
nothing Of value, for his permanent dis
abilities are of a sort calculated to accen-
tuate faults Of temperament that have al
ways screamed their presence and potency.
AS forceful leader, personifying with
astonishing faithfulness the standards of
the bourgeoisie, his star has waned for
ever. The new worlds flaming dawn OF
liberty will blind his already dimmed Wis
ion and elicit nothing but the grabbed and
peevish carpings Of age.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1918-12-15

"Convalescence from relapsing fever"
says Sir Patrick Manson, may be pro-
tracted and complicated with such sequels
as nephritis, opthmalia, otorrhoea, neu-
ritis, mastoiditis, iritis, parotitis and
adenitis.
"The death rate is usually below six per
cent, but in the feeble and old, death nay
take place at the height of the first
paroxysm.
"In fatal cases of relapsing fever the
spleen is usually found to be large and
soft. The liver, kidneys and heart show
cloudy swelling and the skin is generally
jaundiced. The bone marrow is hyper
aemic.
1.-THE fact that the spirocnete which
causes relapsing fever is conveyed to man
by a parasites bite indicates that personal
and domestic cleanliness and the avoid
ance Of people and places infected with
such vermin must form the basis of sue
cessful prophylaxis. Especially to be
avoided in countries where these parasites
abound are the resting places Of caravans

and travellers, and the huts of natives.
A mosquito net, a bed well off the ground
and a nightlight are indispensable as the
hours of sleep are especially dangerous"
It may safely be assumed, then, that Mr.
Roosevelt has never completely conva-
lesced from his relapsing fever, that he
suffered from an infection of the middle
ear as a direct consequence of the
spirochetal INVASION, that mastoiditis or
Inflammation of the mastoid cells behind
the ear was a sequence Of the ear InTec-
ton, and that his sciatic neuritis is merely
the latest spirochetal phase of his South
American experience.
Mr.. Roosevelt's age and physical condi-
ton when he started on his exploring tour
were such that, after falling victim to
relapsing fever, he did not have sunlcient
vitality to effect complete recovery and
resist successfully the late complications
that are following.
What can we postulate as to Mr.. Roose-
velt's future, on the basis of what we know
about his past illnesses and present ply
steal status? Here the interest OF all of
us in his personal fortunes becomes acute.
Upon such definite data as we have pre-
scented in this article it is not especially
hazardous to submit a prognosis, meaning
by that foretelling of probable eventual
ties In the light of such data. 1t is not
through prescience or the gift Of prophecy
that medical men arrive at reasonably just
conclusions with respect to their patients
prospects, but through the accumulated ex-
periences of the profession. making due
allowance for the personal equation in each

chetes pass through the tick and are de-
posted upon the skin Of any human being
on which the infected tick may subse-
quently feed. The irritation caused by the
bite provokes scratching and consequent
incubation of the deposited spirochetes.

Opinions differ as to the biology of the
spirochete 1t belongs to the vege-
table world, which would class it with the
bacteria, which are plants, or to the ami
NAL world, which would assign 1t to the
protocol group. But the trend of the most
recent investigations is to relegate the
organisms which cause relapsing fever to
the bacteria.
Relapsing fever can be transmitted not
only by the tick which has bitten the in
fected individual, but by its progeny, for

OF relapslnS FEVER.
The onset of relapsing fever is marked
by chilliness, giddiness, vomiting and head
ache. The temperature rises to 1O4 or
lO5 degrees Observation-Disclosures higher.
The pulse runs at about 100. There may
be delirium. The skin is dry, although on
the first day occasional sweats may break
out. A touch of jaundice is usual The
tongue is coated in mild cases, dry and
brown in severe ones. A rose-rash on the
trunk and limbs, and fever sores on or
about the lips. may appear. Bronchitis is
common.
The fever lasts about week. At first
the morning is lower than the evening tenn
perature, but on or about the third day the
evening temperature rarely rises above
that of the morning. However, toward the
end the fever again rises abruptly, being
then usually associated with delirium, the
paroxysm terminating by crisis, with pro-
fuse sweating, the temperature falling to
or below normal in few hours. In elderly
or delicate patients there may be danger

There are women in the censorship
today with three or more years service
who are not least among the heroines
Of war; They work In secret and in
silence, behind closed doors, and their
successes are hidden. They will. not
even tell their friends where they
work. let alone what they do. Al
though the women examiners Of mails
number some 1000, against some 500
mule examiners, there has been little
mention Of the women. The recent.
decision Of the authorities to remove
some Of the secrecy which shroudsa the
woman censor will lead the right Woms
en- to apply for the work, though nat
urally there will be no disclosure which
can possibly be Of use to the enemy,
and the discipline habit Of calling ev-.
erything confidential Will continue.
Experience Is not demanded Of recruits,
since the work OF censorship was only
called into being by the harsh needs
Of war, and the censor's Office Itself
is the only place where training and
experience can be obtained.
The necessary qualifications are not
merely languages, and what they do Is
not just to read other peoples dull let
tiers. as. seems the general impression;
1t is much more interesting than that.
There are women there who know no
tongue but their own; they have been
chosen for their judgment and their
UNREASONABLE discretion besides their
education and general knowledge. One
would emphasize the value Of judy
ment and the opportunities for exer-
cising it; it Is question Of weighing
up facts and, coming to wise and rea-
sonable decisions the whole time. To
women with a happy blend OF imagi-
nation and common sense the work is
absorbing, at times thrilling. II.
: 1t is an experience and an educa-
ton, privilege to be part Of this won
derful mechanism, even as the hum,
blest cog in It's wheel OF progress; to
observe the details of it's construction
and to watch it expand week by week.
Viii. &. Censor Tlohtens Net.
For as the war widens the censor
throws his net still further overseas,
tightening 1t until one marvels how the
German secret service agent can slip
through its manifold meshes. Slip
through them he does, and that Is why
the country needs her daughters to
help to outwit him. h.
In the .women's army or navy the
average pay Of officers is 1926 to sS75,
with free quarters. They must leave
their homes, and to the woman who is
settled in London this is difficulty.
But If the London dweller has not the

family falters at. the thought of France.
