ANTI-TOxINE's OPERATION.
UnfOunded RumOr That Pntier
Had Been Poisoned.

Had Been Poisoned.
There have been rumors current in Yonk-
ers. N. Y, for several lays to the effect
that patient treated with anti-toxic
serum had been poisoned by 1t to such
an extent that his body had broken
out in sores The patient was Alex
ander Laird of Yonkers. He had lost
his three children from diphtheria within
three days. and ten days ago he was taken
sick with the disease. Dr. j. Lindsey
Portehouse suggested the use of enti-tox-
inc, and secured some of the serum from
New York city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Laird were both inoculated
with it. In the case of Mr. Laird the result
was beneficial at once. Mrs. Laird, al
though constantly exposed to the disease.
has not contracted 1t. The administration
of the serum results in the breaking out of
rash, which, to an unprofessional eye,
appears much like chicken pox. This is ac-
companied by an itching which is annoying
to the patient. DR.. Porterhouse said
that there was nothing to be feared; that
the remedy had worked with perfect sue
cess, so far as he could see. Other doctors
agree in this statement.
