By river this Chicago germ
Has come to make St. Louis squirm
His grip is packed with evils “sich”
As make the soil of graveyards rich;
If he don’t take his grip and go,
The town will soon be full of woe.

Do you suffer from night losses?
Is there a ropy sediment in the water? (ew)

From Wikipedia: Encephalitis lethargica or von Economo disease is an atypical form of encephalitis. Also known as “sleepy sickness” (distinct from tsetse fly-transmitted sleeping sickness), it was first described in 1917 by the neurologist Constantin von Economo, and the pathologist Jean-René Cruchet.The disease attacks the brain, leaving some victims in a statue-like condition, speechless and motionless. Between 1915 and 1926, an epidemic of encephalitis lethargica spread around the world; no recurrence of the epidemic has since been reported, though isolated cases continue to occur.

Always test a strange bed in which you are to sleep with a hand-glass. Lay it between the sheets, and if it becomes clouded you may know they are damp.
