has been very i'll at Battle Creek,

disease is called encephalosis and
is not at all common MissGreen-
wood was reported much better
Saturday and able to sit up.
The following is taken from a
Pittsburg, Kans., paper:
News was received Monday by
Miss Grace Greenwood, normal
training teacher, that her sister,
Miss Alma Greenwood of Battle
Creek, Mich, has the disease
encephalosis, but at the present
time is improving. Miss Alma
Greenwood is a senior nurse in the
Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Encephalosis is caused bya very
virulent and active germ, which
produces paralysis of all parts of
the body. Thepatients, although
completely paralyzed, seem to be
perfectly conscious to the end.
In some cases the disease is
fatal within two days, and in
other cases they may linger for
months in a helpless state. One
of the serious things about this
disease is that the patients are
paralyzed in such a way that they
cannot speak, move or take nour-
ishment in any way, but yet are
conscious. 81
