BELIEVES JELLY FISH CAUSE OF FATAL, MENINGITIS

What is it that has poisoned the waters of Long Island Sound during the bath ing season now drawing to a close, caus- ing serious illness, and in at least one instance death. to the bathers who have innocently f1ocked to the shore resorts in pursuit of pleasure and relief from torrid heat? says the New Haven Re gister. Bathers who have gone into the cooling depths with no thought of harm or unseen danger have returned to their homes only to find themselves in few hours in intense agony, the cause to them generally unknown.
 Physicians and diagnosticians have been taxed to the limit in treating this mysterious ailment and unearthing from the harmless looking waters of Connect icuts bathing places it's cause.
 Several theories have been advanced as to the cause of this strange affliction and perhaps the most plausible is that put forth by Dr. Frank L. Phillips of New Haven whose supposition is that it is caused by the little, white jelly fish with which the waters of the Sound around New Haven teemed all summer
 The death of Carl H. Bayard occurred Saturday in New Haven from menengitis which developed after he had. been bath ing and gotten water in one of his ears This brought the most severe pains to | the affected member followed by mas toidis and the menengitis which caused | his death.
 The trouble which always first affects i the ears has been reported all along the shore west of New London to Greenwich In New Haven there have been at leas 100 cases brought to the attention O physicians and probably many more tha have not had treatment. Dr. Phillips a specialist of diseases of the ear, ha relieved some 15 cases.
 The suffering always results from talk ing salt water into the nostril which find it's way into the Eustachian tube ant then in the inner ear where infection sets in. This often causes abscess ant lsometimes mastoid trouble. In an inter view for The Register Dr. Phillips says
 There is something in the water whicl has caused irritation of the mucous mem branes. It either carries germs or tn irritat1on sets up ed-ugh in1amat t1 that it gives the germs normally in tn tissues a chance to get to work breakin down these tissues and making put form ations. The trouble sometimes goes int the operative stage"
 It is Dr. Phillips suppodtion that tn trouble has been caused by the million of jelly fish, each about the size of
 silver dollar which infested the Lon
 Island Sound waters all summer. Thes
 were thick in some places that 1t wa
 impossible to take a swimming strok
 without coming into contact with mass
 es of them
