SIGNS OF EPILEPSY.

There may be nothing in the sus,
seslion that this article viii bring IA
your attention, but You are going "a
get u ANYHOW, and time and expert
enee Will determine its worth,
Not much Is known about epilepsy
u II "A terrible disease, one that has
been known long time. one that
mas provoked much study along
many lines, but In spite OF IL all one
concerning tho cause OF which we
| nave much speculation and theor-
izlng. but very little definite infor-
| nation,
Attacks OF epilepsy are generally
preceded by flashes Of light, pecu-
liar sensations ana dizziness.
In tho Medical Record DIR. Tracy
says that ynsomotor disturbance OF
some sort pfecedes every attack,
and on this observation he builds a
| theory as TO tho antecedents OF
epilepsy and cure for IL, II tho
cure IL used In the beginning OF tho
disorder
He says that in every ease OF
epilepsy close inquiry will develop
the fact that for period of six
months Ia two years before tho first
attack there were spells OF faintinr.
dizziness or some other kind Of
petit mai.
His theory Is that examination OF
patients during this pre-cpilcpsy
period will show signs OF cplloptic
constitution.
For instance. when tho skin Of
any person is scratched 30 lightly
MS not 10 break the surface. but so
firmly as to leave an impression.
there comes a red mark which pres
entity IL followed by white mark
which persists longer.
The red commonly fades into the
white mark after about II seconds.
II the time varieA much In either
direction from this figure that fact
indicates something wrong.
In tho epileptic constitution this
fading takes place In considerably
less than II seconds.
A second sign is that the rate OF
fading will not be the same on the
two sides Of the body. The white
mark will appear quicker on one
side than on the other.
A third Is that the mark. instead
OF being Il straight line, will be
patchy.
A fourth is the persistence on the
skin much of the time of IGottling
OF white and red.
These signs. taken in connection
with dizziness. faiting and petit nal
mean the foundations out OF which
epilepsy grows.
They are due to an instability OF
that combination of nerves and
which distribute the blood
to different parts Of the body In
different quantities--what Is known
as vasomotor disturbance.
Theoretically. ergotoxin phos-
phate, given by hypodermic, ought |
to be good for such vasomotor dis |
He used that drug. |
Later he decided that another drug.
crocata, in the form OF an
extract. given by mouth. should |
prove helpful.
( He gave it to several cases OF
several months each. .,
II there is anything to the theory,
perhaps physicians will try the cure
and find it helpful. At this time
It is an experiment. and one sug-
yested for pre-epileptic cases--not
For established epilepsy. " 4

COMRADE MATT MURPHY
 REPORTS FROM WASHINGTON

Comrade Matt Murphy. who has just returned from Washington. where he and other committeeman have been at work on the bonus" dues- tion, says that the present amended bill is certain of passage by the low CT house. He says that the national body of the legion is so confident of this that it has planned to sit pat un- til the question is taken up in the Senate, when a complete analysis of the measure will be presented, and the real merits Of the case made clear to the Senate.
 Matt says the fact that great many 1egionnaires are delinquent in the payment of their 1922 dues is known to the opponents of the ad- justed compensation bill, and has un- occasionally delayed the progress or the legion in it's effort to put the ad- justed compensation bill upon the statute books in Washington.
 Matt found a letter from the na- tional commander awaiting him upon his return thanking him for his work in Washington

new and old 'irreconcilibles" have served notice upon Senator Lodge that he need not attempt to hurry the treaties through. Experience with the treaty Of Versailles conclusively proved that the longer a treaty re- mains under discussion in the Sen ate the less chance it has of ratifi- cation.
 The anti-ratification senator's plainly have intimated that they have just begun to fight and they have shown up to this time that they have d versatile attack. The four power pact is being raked with fire from two sides. Some senators are against 1t because it clearly Is an alliance, while others oppose it because 1t is not an alliance and, therefore, amounts to nothing worth while.
 AngIo-Japanese Alliance
 It has been demonstrated in the latest debates that the heaviest fight ing against ratification will center on the contention that if the new treaty is substitute for the Anglo Japanese alliance. then 1t must neces- sarily carry some of the obligations Of that alliance. The Pacific treaty provides that with it's notifications by all four powers the Anglo-Japa- nese treaty shall automatically be abrogated.
 The administration senators have admitted that neither Great Britain nor Japan would agree to cancella-
