ANTITOXIN THERAPY.
Discourse Yesterday of DIR. Levy he
fore Medical Students.


\ lecture on antitoxin therapy was de-
llyered before the summer class of the
Medical College OF Virginia by Dr. +.
c. Levy yesterday at noon. The Doctor
spoke OF the fact that antitoxin therapy
was quite a new subject, having first
been brought forward in 1891. but first
used In the treatment OF diseases OF the
human race about two years later. Te-
tanus Qockjaw) being the first disease in
which application was made Of antitoXin
therapy. was briefly discussed.
Nicolaler. in 1854, discovered that when
garden-earth WAS injected under the skin
of mice and rabbits death occurred in
a great number OF instances in Few
days. the animals presenting all the
symptoms OF lockjaw. This earth con-
tanned a special form Of bacteria. Kitasa-
10 succeeded. five years later, In 1889, In
securing pure cultures of this bacterium
Uhe tetanus bacillus, and found the in
iections OF this bacillus produced the
usual symptoms Of lockjaw About this
time the presence OF the tetanus bacillus
at the seat OF the injury, in cases de-
veloping accidentally in man, was de-
mOnstrated by numerous observers.
The reason why lOckjaw followed in
juries about the foot so frequently was
due to the fact that injuries here were
more apt to have dirt containing the
bacilli enter them than injuries about
other parts Of the body.
The toxic products OF the tetanus ba-
cillus constitute the most poisonous sub
stance known, being fatal in a dose so
small that TO express IL in a fractional
part OF drop would scarcely convey
an idea Of its intense virulence. II has
been found, however, that by giving still
smaller doses. tolerance OF the poison
may be established, and II is possible. by
gradually increasing this dose. TO produce
condition where many times the
amount OF IL can be given which would
originally have been fatal After a
mimity has thus been established the
blood OF the immunized animal is found
10 contain a principle which Is an anti
dOte TO the original poison. and II five
parts Of this blood be mixed with one
part OF the poison the mixture can be
Injected I'm comparatively large doses,
without any I'll results following.
II was I'm the treatment Of dphtheria,
however, that most Of the work In this
direction had been done Animals injected
with the diphtheria toxin also develop a
principle antagonistic 10 this toxin, and
this principle "dphtheria antitoxin" could
be used 10 produce. immunity in other
animals, and even to treat the disease
after II had developed. The methods Of
preparing antitoxn were then described,
and It's use illustrated by reporting some
cases. In conclusion, the lecturer drew
attention 10 the fact that the further
development Of antitoxin therapy would
probably furnish the profession with the
means OF dealing satisfactorily with all
infectious diseases.

MACON. GA. May Sl.-The troubles be-
tween the Seaboard Airline and the
Southern Railway and Steamship Associa-

The Seaboard had peii,ioned the Federal
Court for an lnjun stion against the as
ISOLATION, whose lines had practically boy
cotted the Seaboasd. An ex-parte in
junction was granted. and to-day was
set for hearing the case before Judge
Speer. A big fight was imminent. Some
OF the most prominent railway lawyers
in the country were present this morn
ing, when an arrangement was reached,
the terms Of which are yet a secret. 1t
IS admitted. however, that the basis Of
the agreement is That a contract was
made between the parties to the effect
that the Seaboard will maintain the State
Commission rates, while the association
will raise the boycott.
The temporary restraining order has
been vacated without prejudice to the
rights Of the compliments to again bring

FATAL BOATING ACCIDENT.
Two Young Ladies' Drowned
Curious Feature of the Affair.

WORCESTER, MASS, May S1.-Last
evening a boat containing Frederick
Dame and Thomas +, ODonnell. and
Misses Nellie White and Laura Bertram.
was overturned on Lake Quinsigamond.
and the two later were drowned. All the
party were young people. The young
ladies were residents OF North Grafton,
and had come to Worcester 10 visit rela-
tives.
A curious feature Of the affair is the
fact that not only were the young men
and the ladies not acquainted with each
other but the young men were also total
strangers. Young Dame had borrowed
a boat and was rowing near the shore,
when he was accosted by O'Donnell,
who had made chance acquaintance
with the girls, and who asked that the
three be given a ride, his request being
compiled with. The boat was overturned
while the men were attempting to change
