SPRING FEVER? JUST A MYTH, SAYS PHYSICIAN Even So, Its Loggy Effect Was Worse 100 Years Ago, Asserts Dr. Morgan. BY TOM OCHILTREE Spring fever is a mythical disease which is much less severe now than it was ICO years ago Dr. Herman G. Morgan. Health Board secretary, mumbled today between yawns. Maybe you wonder how something that isn't ever could be severe. But that is one thing about weather men and physicians—they always have an explanation for things like that. The Rip Van Winkle feeling your grandpappy thought was an actual malady is caused by sun rays producing a change in the metabolism or chemistry of the body, he said. Mpdical literature contains no mention of the “disease." and it Isn’t even defined in large dictionaries. But then, Dr. Morgan added, spring fevers like mustaches, aren't what they used to be. There Were Three Classes Arrording to this student of early American folklore, our pioneer forefathers divided all people into three classes. There were those suffering from malaria those getting over it and those just, catching it. When winter set in and the Indians quieted down, these people swallowed large doses of quinine with spasmodic gulps and ate salt pork. That and the malaria made them pretty weak and pale, Dr. Morgan said. Then when the sun came out again, and these settlers were able to eat turnips top and dandelion greens, the effect was terrific. Here was medicine they needed, but the first dose almost knocked them out. Dr. Morgan asserted. Sat During Recovery Because they felt so weak and dizzy, the pioneers assumed they were getting some special kind of spring sickness. They drank sassafrass tea, and just sat on their cabin steps and "chucked” rocks at stray hounds until they felt better. This feeling is common to all people living in temperate zones who have to go for weeks without sunshine, Dr. Morgan added. Cloudy weather and indoor living naturally bring lowered physical resistance. "With the first rays of spring sun, there follows a healthful systemic effect which is accompanied by a feeling of lethargy and complete relaxation," hp said. "In other words, ,it is harder to get up and go to work than it is normally."
