ALL DOING WE'LL. /
Progress of the Lymph Patients-No
More Patients to be Treated at 1
Present-What the Various Physi-
clans Say.
No new patients will be treated at pres
emit with the lymph Notwithstanding the |
fact that another package Of the precious
fluid has been received by Professor Chit
tenden and turned over by him to DR..
Foster. The quantity received is very
small and will be used only to carry on the
experiments now under way.
DR.. Foster said last night that no new
patients would be inoculated under any
circumstances, as it was desired to give
the medicine a full and complete trial, and
the additional quantity secured would be
reserved to carry on the experiments in
case the first supply gave out before the
full results had been obtained.
The patients yesterday were in comfort
able condition and everything was moving
along as smoothly as could be desired.
No new inoculations were made but it is
probable that they will be repeated to-day.
Professor Chittenden's labratory has been
almost wholly given up to scientific
study of the effects of the lymph and
microscopic examinations are constantly
being made Professor Chittenden and
DR.. Foster are also in daily receipt of
numerous letters asking them to treat var
ious cases but in every case they are COM
PEELED to decline.
DR.. Swain said yesterday concerning his
patient, Mr.. Bradley, who is being treated
for laryngitis: 'tAnother injection was
made upon Mr.. Bradley yesterday. He is
comfortable and every symptom thus far
is exactly as Dr.Koch has predicted. Pro-
fessional secrecy compels us to keep from
the public many items of interest until in
our opinion the proper time has come to
divulge Them
DR.. j. P. G. Foster said: ''This is per-
iod of the deepest scientific interest in this
cases now in our hands, and an enormous
amount of scientific work is being done at
present under the direction of Professor
Russell H. Chittenden. Everything is
done under his direction and all reports of
us physicians are made to him. 1t was
only through Professor Chittendens repu-
tation in Germany that he and the Yale
Biological department were chosen as the
fitting heads in which the great work COM
menced in Germany by DR.. Koch shall be
continued and completed by Dr.. Chittenden
and his associates in America"
Ebony Blake has literally worked him
self sick After his graduation from the
Sheffield scientific school in '84 and from
the Boston Institute of Technology in '85,
| he has been earning golden honors for
| himself as an electrical engineer in Bos-
ton A year ago he came home with what
his folks thought to be malaria. I found
| one of his lungs diseased and at my advice
he spent last winter in Florida. He was
intending to do the same this winter,
| when this plan was decided upon"
Mr.. Henry S. Johnson, who is being
| treated for lupas, was at his store yester-
day afternoon for an hour or two, no OBJ
| lection to his leaving the house being in
terposed by the medical gentlemen, and
| the necessity for frequent observations OF
| the patients condition not being so i'm
| portant as at first, when the condition OF
his pulse and temperature were noted al
brief intervals. Mr.. johnson has had but
one injection of the lymph, but will bt
treated twice or thrice more with the fluid
His experiences of the effects of the lymph
were not as marked as they would have
been in the case Of a more nervous subjec
than he or one not in gooc
physical condition Mr. Johnson
to any extent by lupus He has attended
to his business the same as before it mad
it's appearance. After the injection of tn,
lymph ali the unusual symptoms he notice,
was slight dizziness, followed by sharl
shooting pains in the head, chiefly in tn
forehead. He was most attentive to al
the indications, as were also the physi
clans, six of whom were present at tn
operation. AS to the result it is yet to
early to say anything positive, but fror
|, curative effect in other cases of lupus,
has good hopes of success in his case, ant
/ the more 30 as there are indications al
ready that the lymph is having the desire
effect, as the under surface of tn
, swelling or raised surface gives signs G
. of being favorably affected and the QUITE
scab cracking and drying as if about t
be thrown off by the unusual working O
activity going on underneath. This ha
. been the procedure or effect in the cases c
lupus which the lymph has secured. MI
Johnson's general health is good and hi
, nerves firm. He is most willing to Civ
, his time to the case for the interest {
science and suffering humanity, even if n
, curative result follows. There is no COZ
sumptive faint in his family or in himself
| his lungs being of the soundest.
Flood the Green.
The Chapel street side of the green wa
} converted into skating rink last night an
| hundreds of boys and girls took advantae
of the sport What is needed now one
, these cold days is the flooding of the lowe
green where it can best be done. This
much desired and earnestly requested b
many ladies and children.
