Sinister Drug That Destroyed
Memory Proves Mystery
to Physicians

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, July Is.
Some sinister. potent drug, whose
deadly course leaves no trace in
the human system, Is responsible
for the blasted memory Of the Rev
erend Oren Van Loon. branded Khan
foe, declared Doctor A. Z. kingsley
after final examination OF the
patient here today.
Doctor Kingsley discharged the
pastor from the Nicholas Hospital
following the examination, pronounc-
ing him physically fit to undertake
the trip back to Berkeley. The ply
stefan admitted he could do nothing
further for his patient.
There are some things which sci
ence cannot accomplish, Doctor
Kingsley said candidly. I'VE have
come upon one of them in the case
of Reverend Van Loon. cannot
restore his memory OF those eleven
days when he was missing from his
home, and I doubt If he Will ever
remember a single detail OF what
happened.
Somehow the minister's persecut.
ors administered to him q 1rug
which blurred his consciousness and
blotted his memory, said Doctor
Kingsley.
They knew how to mix a deadly
drink" the doctor stated. 1T would
be interesting from medical stand
point to know just what drug was
given. / can find no visible trace
Of it in his system, except the
acute need for water. His tissues
have been crying for water ever
since he was brought to the hos
pital. Such imperative need is con-
vincing proof of narcotic poisoning. :"

Man Believed to Have Wan

Sent to Hospital

Remembering nothing Of his &C.
tions during the past twelve days,
Charles Raymond Davis, thirty, an
auto salesman of Columbus, Ohio,
was found wandering about the
streets of Washington unaware Of
his surroundings yesterday.
Police are today awaiting COM
munications from authorities and
the family of the aphasia victim.
Arrangements to have the man re-
turned to Columbus are under way.
Davis arose from his lethargic
state yesterday. Everything looked
strange to him. Even the clothes
he wore he could not remember
owning. What was strangest of all
was that fact that he was in Wash
ington, since. 1t seemed to him, he
had only the previous minute been
in Columbus.
Police sent Davis to Gallinger
Hospital. His condition there is said
to be much improved. He spent
the night sleeping brokenly, but
was CHEEKY this morning. His mein
was that OF q man anxious to be
home again, 1t was said.
Davis said the last thing he re.
membered was teaching a man
named Alderman, connected with
the Pure Oil Company, to drive a
machine. He recalled how the car
was making plunge into a lamp
post. He put his arm across his
eyes. That was all.
On July 2, he said, he wore a
blue suit. His attire yesterday was
