j Illness Fatal
; To Bachelors
1 Laid to Rice
TOKYO UN A mysterious illness
i which strikes down young men
J most frequently bachelor in the
3 middle of the night is causing coo-
; cent In Japan. It hat claimed 130
victims in the pan 11 rnonths, a
police coroner In Tokyo says.
The Japanese caU it "pokkuri."
or Hidden death. Its lymptoms are
similar to the "bad dream death"
which has been reported among
Filipinos in Hawaii in increasing
numbers in the past 20 years. It
was given that name because the
victims groan and tresh about but
usually do not waken before they
die.'
i Similar deaths have been noted
J also in Manila and on Guam.
Rica Pin Water -
, One theory is that the deaths
f may be caused by eating too much
: half -cooked rice which swells In
sue when the eater drinks water.
Dr. Saburo Yojhimura, the Tokyo
police coroner who gave the death
, estimate in a report to a Japanese!
t medical meeting, says, the illness
is a "blind spot to pathologist! and
: internal specialists." He does not
1 refer to it as a disease.
"This ia not a disease as such,"
Dr. Yoshimura sy. "Autopsies
show no disease and no cause for
$ the death. There may have been
such deaths in the past that never
', came to light because it has been
; extremely rare in the past for
autopsies to be performed. '
But the coroner's report contains
; many points made previously by
Dr. Nils Paul Larsen of Honolulu,
, who studied the illness among fili
t pi nog In Hawaii. ., , ; ,
. Meetly Bachelors'
; It strikes only men, almost al
ways those between 13 and 45 and
' frequently bachelors. Until the
' Japanese report,, it had seemed
confined almost entirely to-Fili-"l
pinos. In 130 cases in Hawaii la JO
' years. Dr. Larsea said there had
been only one death of a Caucasian
j and on of a Japanese.
Those : who have witnessed a
"sudden death" almost always re-
port the victim groaned, threshed
i about, cried out in his sleep, and
' died within 10 minutes alter the
f first noticed symptoms.
- Dr. Larsen says autopsies in
i Hawaii usually , disclosed rice -.
stuffed stomachs. Many Filipinos
J eat half-cooked rice which swells
up when they drink wster, the
Honolulu doctor added.
. t - Japanese autopsies usually re-
veal the -victims, mostly laboring
.... men, have also eatrn shortly be-
, fore going to bed. The Japanese ,
laborer s basic lood it Huge bowls
! of boiled white rice.
Wife9s Nudism
iNot Grounds
I For Divorce
J l LONDON I - A husband who
came home unexpectedly one day
; and found his naked wife drinking
t tea with a naked man was denied
a divorce Thursday.
J- ?The wife, comely, blonde Mrs.
Mildred Clements, testified that
she and the naked man, Peter
' Scott t Darling, were both nudists.
VShe said they were Just having a
fecial afternoon and had not, as
alleged by her husband, non-nudist
Peter Clements, been misbe
having. ,
After due consideration Judge
Samuel R. Edgedale accepted her
story and refused to give Clements
' a decree on ground oi adultery.
"People who are ' nudists,' the
judge said, "are really not quite
the same a other people. One has
to appreciate that their view of
the conventions is different."
