The Elevator Sickness. "Cases of elevator sickness are on the increase," said Dr. E. C. Knowl-ton, of Chicago. "When physicians first began to claim that there was such a thing as elevator sickness their statements were usually discredited, but it is now becoming well defined. Its effects are found in an increased nutn- ber of cases of brain fever aud disordered nervous systems. Every one has felt a sense of emptiness in their heads, a sensation as if they were falling when riding rapidly in an elevator, especially if it was going down. This creates a dizziness, slight it is true, but the constant repetition of which brings on headaches and often brain fever. If not so serious then it is felt in the nerves. Those who habitually ride up and down eight or ten stories cannot fail to realize that it is bringing on a disordered condition of the nerves. For this reason elevators should be run slowly, especially whoa descending. Cincinnati Enquirer,
