lieving that he was Ill, took him to his
home, where the negro fell into a deep
sleep. He continued to sleep all through

terday morning. his friend Burgess no.
titled the police. Patrolman weisekel OF
the Adams street station tried to arouse
the negro, but failing summoned an am
bulance. After the surgeon had labored
over Mitchell for a while the man opened
his eyes for few seconds.
He merely mumbled I'm so sleepy"
and sank again into a state of coma. At
the hospital he recovered consciousness
for another few seconds, when he NUT
tered several words to the effect that he
had had influenza recently and then fell
or again into a comatoss condition.
According TO Health Commiss o ner

called sleeping sickness which occurred
here during the last week were about
evenly divided between the true
"lethargica encephalitis' and the post
influential form of the disease.
The result OF an investigation Into
the death of Erskine w Martin. the
first known victim here. shows that no
succombed to an attack of the true cpl
demio coma. But Harry Carp, the 10
months old infant reported as the second
victim. is believed to have died OF in
fuerza coma. though this has not vet
been definitely ascertained by the Health
Department inspectors who are investi-
eating the matter.
A letter received yesterday by DIR.
Copeland from an army officer in
Rochester tells OF case of epidemic
coma that was diagnosed as such by
reference to New York city newspapers.
The officer said his sister had been
sick for two or three days when the
attending physician decided by compar-
ing her symptoms with those OF the sleep
ing sickness published in New York
newspapers that she had the disease.
Dr. Copeland was requested by the Of
ficer to give suggestions at to the treat
ment OF the disease. Printed matter
has been sent to him by the Health
Department In this connection DR..

tanned in leaflets distributed during the
