experts, entors through the medium

ache and Increasing drowsiness are
the first symptoms.
Doctors state that the germ Itself
has not been located, owing to it be­

powerful microscopes can detect it.
"A remarkable feature of the dis­
ease Is that when It make« its ap­

doctor. "We have discovered that
