epidemic OF it, and a learned doctor of
those days-learned for those days, at least

epidemic of 1t fifteen centuries before in
Egypt!
Medical science believes that the germ
that causes this peculiar encephalitis finds
its way into the body through the nose and
throat. Very probably atmospheric condi-
tons have something to do with its dis
semination; in fact. the appearance of
large numbers of cases occurring simulta
neously In widely separated districts can
be accounted for in no other way. But
whatever the nature of the germ or the
means by which it finds a foothold In the
body, one thing is certain-it has peculiar
affinity for the brain and the nervous sys
TEN. And this accounts for the persistent
lethergy which puzzled Miss Lippincotts
physicians for weeks and so alarmed her
family. This slumber persisted In the case
of the young Philadelphia for a surpris-
ing length of time.
The disease strikes like a bolt Of light
ming from the blue. Having struck, there
is little that can be done. The patient
must have absolute quiet both mental and

her. She had been perfectly healthy APP

been much hurt She had come into the
sewing room with me after dinner and was
talking as gaily as you please. She was
always lively. bubbling over with fun She
was full of life. And then, all at once, she
shivered and asked me whether her eyes
were crossed And then she fell"
Before the family physician came they
aid all they could to arouse her. They
made loud and violent noises slapped her
hands and feet, shouted to her. II was, OF
course, the worst thing they could have
done, but they could not know that. She
did not arouse And after exhausting his
knowledge, the family doctor called in
some famous neurologists, among them DR..
Francis Y. Dercum, who looked after Pres
ident Wilson during his mental collapse.
They diagnosed the case as encephalitis
and took charge of Joan-not alone for the
sake of the Lippincotts, but also for the
value of the observations to medical
science

AT first she lay almost fiat on her back

Her sleep was virtually continuous. For
more than three months II was never COM

walls OF two or three days, she would stir
slightly. but no sound came from her lips.
The nurses and her mother were constant

would half open her eyes and smile. Then
the lids would droop again.

r. ARLY In he evening Of August 49,
r last year, Miss Joan Lippincott, the
- charming twenty-year-old daughter
OF the Oliver c. Lippincotts, members of
the old and wealthy Philadelphia family
of that name, turned to Mrs. hppincott
and cried:
Mother! Oh, mother! Are my eyes
Crossed?"
Mrs. Lippincott, looking, saw that the
left lid was almost closed and blood red.
Before she could answer, Joan cried out
again
Mother! I can't see a thing"
, And suddenly she orumpled to the floor.
Don't worry" she whispered as her
mother bent to lift her. "Ill be all right"
She fell asleep!
From that moment until the morning of
December 21-just 1870 days, or 1920 hours
Miss Lippincott lay silent and sleeping!
On that morning Joan opened her eyes
and with enormous effort gasped the word
Mother"
The spell that had held her had broken.
But, unlike the Sleeping Beauty Of the fairy
story, it had not been the lover who had
snapped it-although, truly enough, the
lover was there, ana had been whenever
possible through all the weary days and
weeks Of slumber.

Folks have told me that the farm
Where I lived, has lost it's charm
An they've paved the dusty street
Which was velvet to our feet,
An it's now a thoroughfare
With the hum of motors there;
Wouldn't want to lose the joy
That I've treasured from boy
Guess I'd better keep always
Memories Of those happier days.
I'm afraid of goin' back.
Memory still keeps the track
To those favorite haunts of mine
Like a painted canvas fine,
An the old spots live with me
Just they way they used to be;
An to see them now would seem.
Much like shattering a dream,
So the town shall live with me
Just the way it used to be.
