Dy 1‘. ll. HICAIIDIIP LAUGHING FAHIL!

some seventy-three years ago there lived in Franchtown. N. J., a family who were all chronic iaughers, having an affection of the muscles of the mouth and throat which caused them to ex- plode in apparent merrlment at stated intervals.

The strange malady first ap- peared in the father. uaually., a very quiet man. enjoying a good joke but manifesting his enjoy- ment without much ado. The first attack occurred one day while he was seated at. the table having dinner with his family. Suddenly without any cause the head of the house burst into a loud fit of laughter. When asked what the big joke was about he made no answer, but continued to laugh heartily. Some of his family, be- lieving he had hyaterlce pound- ed him on the back. but all in vain. After a few moments he made motions that he wanted pen and paper and wrote that he was unable to control his laughter. and asked the family to send for a doctor.

Doc came. but could do noth- ing to relieve the man of his mer- riment. Nor could he give the strange malady a name.

All that night the farmer laugh- ed loud and long. but came sun- rise he stopped and lay down completely exhausted.

O -O 0

He soon got over his tired feel- ings, however. ate a hearty meal and was soon fast. asleep. About 2 a. in. he had a second attack which woke up all the family This attack lasted until 7 o'clock when the laughter stopped as sud- denly as it had started and did not return again until noon time. Thus it continued, recurring each day after dinner and again about 2 a. m. As the weeks passed into months the man became ac- customed to his odd disease and it did not tire him out as it did in the beginning. and he was soon able to attend to his farm duties. -Yet strange to say. he could nevcr spcak a word while under the spells, and to make Illm5cIf‘lln- derstood always carried on his person paper and pencil, after the fashion of some deaf and dumb DCFSOIIS.

Once the farmer had a laugh- ing attack while in church just as the minister was exhorting his hearers in the most solemn fashion which therefore spoiled the effect of the sermon.

For about two years the fa- ther was the only one of tho household affected. Then Susie. the youngest"child. suddenly join- ed her father in what the rest of the family chose to call "a laughing jag," and‘ believe it or not. thereafter, one by one the

other members fr-ll victims to the

The malady. however, never spread to the neighbors. I not which also proved a {M puzzle-

quently dropped in on the laugh- ing family. 0 0

In this day of ﬂying saucers and other aky phenomenon. a story like this would have been ﬂashed around the world in min- utes and the laughing family might have found themselves famous over night. But fn those day: new: traveled slowly. Con- sequently very few person: out- side of the immediate vicinity and the physician who attended them knew little or nothing about

it.

Curious stories leaked out in time. told by travellers who pas- sed that way. Here’: one of themi Two men traveling be- tween Doylcstown and Erwlnnl drove past the farm of the laugh- ing family soon after their 2 I. m. attack had begun. The win- dows were open and every sound could be clearly heard by the travelers. It sounded to them like a perfect pandemonlum. Their horse took fright and nearly ran away with them. FlnalLv. they decided the place was haunted. hurried home and of course told the startling tale.

Parties went forth to investigate the matter. but none of them suc- ceeded ln solving the problem till a feuow farmer of the stricken family told them the truth.

one

What effect did this strange dis- case have on the laughing family over a period of years? This bit of data tells the tale, at least in part: “The faces of the afflicted persons became very wrinkled. with noticeable lines under the eyes and above the cheeks, due. no doubt, to the drawing up of the skin under frequent merri- ment. Too. their mouths became wider and could be closed only with difficulty. But the most. marked result of the malady. how- ever. was the voice. The entire family spoke in the same tone of voice. Males and females had the same inflection and intona- tion. and most of them developed defects of the cyes. The pupils in some cases contracted and the entire eyeball diminished in size." This could be accounted for by the contraction of the eyes in laughing so much and the of- feet of reading while undergoing an attack.

Several grandchildren after the Browns first began laughing were afflicted with the same. peculiar fIlSf‘8S(’. and at the same hours as their parents.

This strange and startling story about the laughing family first came to the attention of the gen- cral public as the result of an article which appeared in the Philadelphia Times in the year

1881.
