because tho mid-brain is attacked with an
Inflammation which arrests Impressions
and stimuli from the outside world
THE mid-brain, it may be explained is
situated between the spinal cord and the
higher regions Of the brain, and Is the
place where the various nerve tracts and
centres for the cranial nerves are located.
There are other symptoms than lethargy,
however. all according to the part of the
brain attacked. The disease may attack
any part Of the brain or spinal cord, afflict-
ing it locally or spreading over large areas.
THE connection between encephali,Is
and influenza is certain, although there is
still no positive proof 1t may be that the
influenza poison SO reduces the resistance

OF form OF the disease different from that

case is Mrs. Morton r. Alexander Of No.

with the disease.
But instead OF being unable to keep
awake. Mrs. Alexander has been unable to
stay asleep. In her case tho disease has

in The grip of tho mysterious ailment to
some extent, and is still under the care OF

differed from that of Miss Lippincott in
that her condition came on slowly. with no

more than half passed into the realms of

The periods of awakening grew moro
frequent-perhaps half-dozen times a day
and for minute or more in duration. But
still she made no sound. She would stir.
her eyelids would lift. there would be the
flash OF recognition-then there would be
despairing submergence into sleep, with
glances poignantly like those of one sink
ing beneath deep waters.
The physicians had advised Mrs. Lippin-
colt that her daughter might speak sud
denly. She had been showing marked i'm
provement in noddng responses to cues
tons. On the morning Of December 81 tho
mother was at the side of her bed, praying.
She heard gasping cry of "Mother!"
Shaking, she arose. She tried to get
Joan to speak again. but she could get no
response. Several hours later again the
girl repeated the word "Mother!"
Since then she has talked a little more
every day, always, however, in mono

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 cond-
tions have something to do with it's 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 1t finds foothold in the
body. one thing is certain-it has a peculiar
affinity for the brain and the nervous sys.
tenn And this accounts for the persistent
leihergy which puzzled Miss Lippincott's
physicians for weeks and so alarmed her
family. This slumber persisted in the case

Henry Watterson, veteran journalist,
who, during the Civil War, was pub-

written a characteristic letter to the
committee in charge of the reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans to
