Ine congress was the discovery of Prof
behrlng OF Halle of a cure for diphtheria

blood serum. Prof. Behring. in an inter
view with a newspaper correspond
ent' said it was his belief that his
discovery would eventually be applied as
cure Tor typhus fever, cholera and
pneumonia. He contended that inocula-
ton OF dtphtheria ought to be as com
pulsory as the measures which are
ADOPTED for the treatment of smallpox

congress Prof. Enrich of Berlin. seated
his belief that the milk of inoculated
animals would tend to assist in eff
Iecting cures. In support Of Prof
Behring'S idea he held that blood
serum was as powerful against
dlphtheria as vacinue was against
smallpox. The present expense of pro
curing the blood serum puts IL beyond
Jhe reach OF most persons, as IL is manu-
laCtured in only two places in Germany
IN Hoechst, near Frankfort, and in Ber-
lin, Two injections of the remedy cost 30
marks, ana as many cases require six, the
costllness of the treatment NAV readily
