CASE OF SLEEPING
SICKNESS STUDIED
Symptoms of Local Patient
Very Much Like African Va
riety of Disease.
CAN NOW SPEAK ENGLISH

Diagnosis by physicians of the Navy
night of the strange case of Mrs. F'ifi
Zoliotis of 1928 14th street. who has
lain in a coma at Georgetown Univer-
sity Hospital since a week from yes
terday, confirmed first indications that
it is a real case of rsleeping sickness" +"
and bears a remarkable resemblance
to the African variety of the disease
tropics.
Dr. Mccoy of tte public health serv-
ice. and Admiral f. r. Stitt of the
world Psychologists. and the latter an
authority on tropical diseases, gave
out this opinion late last night after
an exhaustive diagnosis of the case.
Treatment of Disease.
They agreed that the treatment
given Mrs. ZoJiotis by DR.. John Con-
stas of iii Massachusetts, avenue. in
charge of the case. which consists OF
injections of bicarhonate of soda at
intervals to Offset excessive acidosis
is entirely up to date and may result
in new departure in the treatment
of the disease. DR.. Constas spent four
years in central Africa and is entirely
familiar with the symptoms of the
disease.
He said this morning after examin-
ing the patient at the hospital that
one Of the most remarkable features
of the case has developed within the
past three days-one that is contribut-
ing to the universal interest taken by
members of the medical profession.
This is the fact that Mrs. Zoliotis. who
never before spoke English, at times
speaks fluent English, rambling, it is
true, but with every sentence clearly
enunciated. This rambling speech In
a language of which she had only a
smattering before being taken Ill is
believed by neurologists to be man
Hesitation of her subconscious intel
lect, which has retained snatches OF
conversation in English and is now
repeating them.
Dr. Constas said today that the pa
tient has shown signs of great i'm
provement in the past twenty-four
hours. She does not have to be con-
stantly shaken when taking food and
she opens her eyes when spoken to.
a thing that never happened before.
Her temperature, he said, has never
been more than 101 and she has no
excessive fever.

African Cases.

An interesting feature of the real
sleeping sickness was pointed out to-
day. 1t is claimed that the natives OF
Africa. when the glands in their
necks began to swell and it is con-
firmed that they have the disease,
eat all their live stock in order that
some other tribe may not succeed to
the possession of the stock.
Opinion of physicians in "asnlng-
ton now is that every feature of the
case should be given the fullest pub-
licity, in order that the public may be-
come acquainted with the possibilities
of communication. which. 1t is polhteu
out, may not be possible except ny
direct blood contact with the pessoi. pH.
