SLEEPING SICKNESS NOT EPIDEMIC HERE “We all know that no in- dustrial organization has been prospering the last few years,\ she said, “I do not blame the Assessors, maybe the assess- ment is right. But, I do think they chose the wrong time to apply it. The city is waging a long battle in the Courts to maintain ‘this increasing assess- ment, which is costing the tax- ers plenty. In allaying the fears of the local public on the rumored epidemic of “Sleeping Sick- ness,\ Dr. A. S. Culkowski, health officer issued the fol- lowing bulletin ‘from Albany on this disease: The State Department of Health, Dr. Thomas Parran, ’Jr.,, Commissioner, assured the people of New York today that there is as yet no evidence of any epidemic of (Lethargic) Encephalitis (sleeping sick- ness) in New York State such as is now sweeping St. Louis. The Department states that the prevalence of the disease in New York State, “has re- mained now thus far.” The epidemic in St. Louis is described by the Department as, “one of the largest and most explosive outbreaks in the United States since the disease has been recognized as a clin- ical entity.” Figures made public by the Department of Health show that for the years 1928 to 1932 inclusive, an avenage of 184 cases and of 125 deaths were reported annually. The five year average for New York City was 124 cases, and that for the remainder of the State 60 cases.

Twenty-seven encephalitis. deaths are known to have oc- curred in New York Ctiy, and 29 in the remainder of the State since January 1, 1933. On the subject of an appar- ent increase in the upstate pre- vance of the disease. the De- partment says, “There has beena recent change in the proportion of upstate cases and deaths as compared with those 1'n New York City. Prior to 1931, New York City cases and deaths exceeded in num- bers those reported in the re- mainder of the State, whereas the reverse has been true dur-‘ ing the past two and one-half years. This relative change seems to have been due to a decline in‘ New York City cases and deaths. Upstate cases and deaths have not increased in numbers, so that the changes which have taken place in the geographical distribution. of encephalitis in New York State do not appear to be of- any special significance.\ Grade school registrations, by schools: 1932 1933 Geo.
