A NOVEL IDEA.
To Cure Diphtheria by Inoculating the
| Patient for Erysipelas.

To Cure Diphtheria by Inoculating the
Patient for Erysipelas.
Not the least startling among modern
methods in medicine is the recently pro-
posed one of treating diphtheria by inocu-
lating the patient for erysipelas. Accord
ing to The Repertoire de Pharmacie, ply
stefan who was attending a case OF grave
diphtheria, occurring in his own son. noted
the appearance of erysipelas on the face
coincidentally with rapid change for
the better. The fever rapidly fell, the false
membrane disappeared, and cure rapidly
took place. This physician, DIR. Babchinski,
is credited with the statement in another
journal that in several other cases he noted
great improvement coincident with the
appearance Of erysipelas, and in one of
them the erysipelas occurred on the leg,
and not on the face These facts suggested
to DR.. Babchinski the idea of inoculating
'diphtheria cases with blood taken from
patients suffering from erysipelas, and he
states that in several cases in which he en-
ployed this procedure cure resulted. Later
on he practiced incubation of other cases
of diphthera with cultures of the microbe
of erysipelas in agar-agar, and likewise no
ticed the disappearance of the symptoms
of diphtheria. He further adds that when
the inoculations were made all special
treatment was suspended, and in no case
did the erysipelas present any sufficient
gravity to cause uneasiness. He concludes
by stating that if his observations and ex-
periences are confirmed this treatment
should rob diphtheria of all its dangers.
