A curious new disease has broken out at Angora, Kemal's capital in Asia Minor. Persons are struck down and die in about nine hours. The disease begins with a violent shivering and the victim loses consciousness after two hours. Several families have been wiped out in one day. The Health Ministry has begun a scientific inquiry into the cause, but the disease remains a mystery. It is provisionally named "black fever," ana is being experimentally treated with quinine injections.
