wrongly called sleeping sickness,
which sprang up few weeks ago. 1t

and several army camps. has taken
several lives and laid hundreds under

The scientific name of this new mall

deeply interested in the new malady
and instituted clinical and pathology

found the disease is q general in

manifestations originating in the CEN

frequent and characteristic are pro-

considerable attention in France and
England recently.
While some political economists are

MIR. Gladstone was once heard to
remark that II all the wits of men
were to be united in one brain, that
man would be unable to appraise
with perfect justice any single moral
action. "The shades of the rainbow"

OF tho seashore are not such multi
