HISTORY. The disease was introduced in 1918, or thereabouts, in Eng- land and France largely by troops from America, and spread with startling rapidity to other parts of the globe. lt is epidemic in the United States, and endemic particularly in California, Brooklyn and New York. It prevailed in a different form and was very fatal in England in the 15th and 16th centuries, and was made the subject of an important memoir by D. Sharpe Curretter in 1552. Of late years it has been confined entirely to districts in Manhattan and Brooklyn. An epidemic of some extent occurred in Russia in 1919. Z. Quickberry gives a chronological account of 190 epidemics between 1917-22. Occasionally the disease has become widely spread. As in influenza, a large number of persons are attacked in rapid succession. ETIOLOGY. Unknown. Scientists of the Killingem and Kleenup School state that the present dry conditions of the country will decrease the virulency of the epidemic. - , No immunity is given by sex, age, or, season. lt thrives where there is a susceptible population, but is most frequently found in young adults. lt is unknown in infancy and childhood, in older persons it is not at all uncommonly rare. The author has collected one case in the literature in patients over 75. Race exerts little influence on the morbidity. It is claimed that relatively there are more infections among negroes and cabaret habitues. Various governments have become impressed with the spread of this disease. They contemplate, in the near future, legislative enactments to the end that segregation, control and treatment may become general. SYNIPTOIVIS. There are three recognized stages in the onset. The first manifests itself in the following manner :-Before, or after, the dinner hour the in- dividual becomes aware of an acute state of exhilaration, a rush of blood to the head, and an undulating sensation, ending in spasmodic contractions about the shoulder, hip, and ankle joints. Then begins an uncontrollable type of tic pedis, keeping time, so to say, with the rhythms of a telepathic song, whatever that may be. The pulse becomes rapid, the face is flushed, and there is a slight rise in temperature and blood pressure.' Sometimes the patient, if the attack is mild, obtains relief, if at home, by playing jazzy records on the phonograph. More virulent types. however, only find surcease of pain by the immediate removal of their persons to cafes, cabarets or dansantes. The exodus of thousands then starts, lured by a kind of psychic Pied Piper-from home, mart, factory, and study. The only places that seem exempt are hospitals, insane asylums and morgues.
