Richmond, Va, March 2O.-The cpl
demic somnolence, Or sleeping sick
ness" now prevalent in several cities
is chang over" from the flu.
That's the decision reached by the
committee of the Virginia State Board
of Health which has been investigat-
ing the new disease. = .~5,
The United States public health Ser
vice is to be called upon by the Vir-
ginia authorities to help find out
what causes it and what will cure it.
DR.. f. G. Williams, Virginia health
commissioner, said there was no doubt
in his mind that the strange malady
bears direct relation to the influ-
enza epidemic. He corroborated the
prediction of DR.. Beverly r. Tucker,
chairman of the sleeping sickness COM
mittee, that the new epidemic will
crop out in communities which felt the
worst ravages Of the "flu." ..
The experience of England had much
to do with this decision. ..sr- ~.
England had the "flu" last spring,
before it struck America, and last fall
it had the sleeping Sickness" The
disease was, at first confused with
botulism, the new war disease, result
ing from food poisoning which was
prevalent i'll England. Investigation
by the health authorities of London
and Sheffield proved, however, that
sleeping sickness and botulism were
not the same.
Then they thought it might be in
fantilc paralysis. Sir Arthur New
sholme, medical officer of London,
finally decided that "epidemic somno-
lencc" was a brand new war disease.
1t was made Il "reportable" disease.
Then the epidemic stopped so suddenly
that the investigation was carried no
farther.
But Sir Arthur Newsholmc gave it
