As w ith all things new, a nam e
m ust be chosen; and so w ith
apologies to the doctors, I call it
tcevccc trem ens. I select this
designation because this new dis
ease has so much in common w ith
the m ore fam iliar one—-delirium
trem ens.
A ccording to the m edical die
tionarv, delirium trem ens is a
psychic disorder involving h allu
cinations, both visual and au d i
tory, found in habitual users of
alcoholic beverages. T eevee tre
mens may be sim ilarly defined as
a psychic disorder involving h allu
cinations, visual and auditory,
found am ong TV gluttons.
The two diseases differ, how
ever in sym ptom s d i s p la y e d.
W heras th e DT •sufferers see
snakes and m onsters, h ear noises,
and are usually talking or yelling
incoherently, the TV victim , ra th
er than being noisy, is so uncom
m unicative that th ere is great
danger of his eventually losing
the ability to speak In fact, he
is so highly sensitive to talking
in any form that he is quite
capable of m aking hissing or
shu^hin sounds if a trance is dis
turbed.
E xtrem ely inactive, he spends
most of his tim e in a squatting
po it ion. staring straig h t ahead.
Some of the most advanced cases
even go so far as to confine th em
selves in specially constructed

hum orously refer to as activity

According to the traffic count

140.064 people visited the H arris
Beach state park during 1956.
This was 9.000 more th an d u r
ing 1955, and 224.000 m ore th an
1954 when the count was 116,604
The 140.064 figure show s that

seen, faces innum erable obstacles
since tin person afflicted is often
difficult to recognize as such. In
fact, using sounds em itted as a
basis it is extrem ely difficult to
differen tiate betw een the teevee
trem ens victim and a snake; using
actions as a clue, th ere is a
striking resem blance betw een the
TV’ victim and a still w arm
