smqke if you roll your owrv ask for health education by dr j j middleton provincial board of health ontario or mlddleton will be glad to answer questions on public health mat ters through this column address him at spadina house spadina crescent toronto is there any connection between ileeping sickness and influenza an interesting investigation is be ing carried on at present by the un ited states public health service to try and establish this point the in vestigation was prompted by the fact that a large percentage of the recent cases of sleeping sickness followed influenza the type of sleeping sickness that we read so much about otvthis con tinent appears to have a different causative agent from that of the leeping sickness of the tropics in uganda central africa for instance there are large tracts of country now practically deserted where once there was a teeming population the ravages being caused by an organism in the blood due to a bite from the tsetse fly which conveys the disease from the sick to the healthy no other bit- ng flies as far as is known convey his disease and the tsetse not being found at any rate in the temperate regions of this continent cannot be held responsible for the disease which is comparatively prevalent here this is why some confusion results from the use of the term sleeping sickness in both cases due no doubt to the limilarity of the symptoms officials of the public health ser vice admit that there is little known so far concerning this sleeping sick ness or encephalitis lethargica as the disease is called in medical circles but officials are of the opinion that reports concerning its prevalence have been magnified surgeon general j cumming in this regard points out that the disease is rather easy to con- ifuse with some other diseases in an j investigation made during the 1918- 1919 epidemic twentytwo per cent i of the supposed cases had to be ex- eluded as being really cerebrospinal meningitis brain abscess acute alco holism and other diseases i the disease appears to be only rare- 1 ly communicable not a single sec- ondary case is known to have occurred in the immediate families of the pa tients reported in 19181919 although some nine hundred persons were ex posed the fatality is rather high of the one hundred and fiftynine cases studied there were fortysix deaths it is interesting to note that th2 peak of the outbreak of 19181919 was reached in new york city in january in virginia in february and in louisiana texas and illinois in march whether this progress was related to the season of the year or was merely a result of the spread of the disease is not known the dis ease is slow in developing and long in duration the period of conval escence is variable in some cases re covery is completed within two weeks after the subsidence of the acute symptoms but in others it is pro longed and leaves its record on the mind on certain muscles and on the nerves of the cranium there has been much study given to this subject in recent months but so far nothing has been found out as to the relationship between influenza and sleeping sickness the most re cent investigation which is now under way will it is hoped shed some light on this very important problem easy tricks no 28 the endless thread not sick once in four years now this is a practical joke to play on that meaning person who is

necessary to compel any man by law to light a fire whenever there is a report of a fire forthwith every farmer in tho neigh borhood leaves his work and offers his services to fight tho plague and if tho local ranger finds that ho is not able to put out the fire with tho men at his disposal ho immediately sends a tele gram to the governor of tho provinco lan asking him to send additional help and as soon as possible thereaf ter a regiment of soldiers or more is sent by special train to extinguish the firo i am of tho opinion that tho rea son why the swedes aro so successful in their war on
