Afflicted with the unusual disease
of berl berl, one of the Japs of the
local railroad crew was sent to Port
land yesterday by Dr. W. G. Cole, the
O. R. & N. physician. It is one of
several cases of the disease that Dr.
Cole has met with In his practice here
all of which were among the Japan
ese railroad laborers.
Berl berl is a form of paralysis and
airecis only the lower limbs. It is
supposed to be caused by a toxine
that affects the motor nerves, thereby
renaenng the legs useless. The dis
ease is attributed to the eating of fish
and it has been confined almost er
tlrely to the Chinese and Japanese
However, a similar disease has been
recorded among the fishermen of New-
England, though it has not been at
all prevalent there. All of these cases
that have occurred In the west have
been among the Asiatics.
Owing to the Infrequency of the
disease Dr. Cole's patient was an ob
ject of Interest among the physicians
nere, as in most cases it was their
first experience with the trouble.
