It was ibelieved that with the closing of the ischool several days ago, and with the pupils remaining at their individual homes, they would quickly recover from the effects, hut such is not the case. The sneezing fest in the school lasted over two weeks, and. since the girls have been, at .their homes the sneezing .has continued in the cases, oi several- until their condition is s'eriou.. One of the girls is under the.doctor's care\ and her condilionis alarming. Her sneezing, apeels last., an hour or more with as much time intervening between . each attack. She sneezes from, twenty to thirty times a minute.. Every relief so far extended is on y temporary. The condition of many other girls is equally bad, and they have considerable in weight. . There is difference of opinion as to whether their ailment is due to nervousness or external causes. The doctors are contemplating compulsory vaccination.
