Econ omte conditions seem to warrant be- lief In a continued broad production and distribution in most lines during the first half of the year, with rail-. way traffic probably at least upon a parity with the traffic of 1925.

EDICT ENDS EPIDEMIC.

THE swift rise and fall of a serious
disease has been graphically dem.
onstrated recently with the rlysteri.
Gus Half sickness" which for a while
threatened to ruin part of Gernanys
fishing industry. How modern medical
science can hunt down obscure causes
and apply the remedy is excellently
shown in this episode. Through q
government edct, an epidemic was
suddenly ended.
A little over two years ago fisher
men In the stretch of shallow water
along the southern end of the Baltic
between koeniGsberg and DanZig,
known locally. as the Half" began to
develop a very painful and in some
cases fatal disease. It's symptoms
were extreme pain and a kind OF
paralysis Of some Of the leg muscles,
together with certain physiological
disturbances. 1t always attacked its
victims while they were out in their
boats and generally in the early morn.
ing while the mists still hung over the
water. A few days on shore usually
resulted in complete recovery, but O.
return to fishing might bring on repe-
titions Of the fnalady. In g short
time the Half fisheries were badly
demoralized.
The theory that it might be an cpl.
defnic of a germ disease quickly went
by the board. The "Han sickness"
had none Of the. earmarks Of an ordi.
nary epidemic. Likewise the theory
that 1t might be caused by the eating
of spoiled fish or cells had to be aben-
doned, because many Of the victims
did not eat fish, and fish-eaters on
shore never suffered from the disease.
The investigators finally came to
the conclusion that there must Be
something In the water that rose into
the morning naists ana caused the
DISEASE by poisoning the air. 2A.
