The antitoxin had been obtained, it's
~value had been practically demon
sstrated, but the principle involved re-
nznafnssa mystery to all. That some
Ggreat, 1ar-reaching principle is coming
nto light, that new system of fighting
--disease, based on this principle, will be
esevoiyed-that is admitted by all who
Nhave studded the subject. The eyes of
y searching investigators and profound
ssthinkers are cleaning with the hope of
*acvolving this new system in time to
sadd sthe discovery to that unrivaled
egalsxy of achievements which illumin-
zates nineteenth century progress.
What is antitoxin? Antitoxin is
rantfpOison, an antidote for poison. As
'ygxense the word, it means substance
Sdeveieped in animal blood to neutralize
sthe effect OF toxins (poisons) of disease.
aHow is it obtainedP From the blood
: s1ofl immnnized animals. And here we
auuzstcexplain the nature of immunity.
%An animal blood has been shown to
<oossess to a greater or lesser degree Of
n SSsctericide properties. When an ami
AZ uiaE 6esomes infested with disease a
= combat takes rplace, according to well.
y -substatitiated authorities, between the
y HerrHS&f the disease and a mysterious
: somekning in the blood. This bacteri-
y .Siae property varies in power and quail
Il 1ty in different Species Thus the blood
of man offers complete resistance to
GErms of pigeon cholera, that OF the
.doR against anthrax, of the chicken
against tetanus, and so on. These ami
Yrnals are said TO be immune against
,-such diseases.
gThe important point is that the i'm
immunity against certain diseases may be
Sdnereased. This may be done in one OF
1.-TWO ways-(D by infection, or ~ by
zintoxicati IN. l. e., incubation of the dis
lease. EVERY child knows that when 1t
Syhas once had a disease the chances are
rGthat.it will not catch the same disease
raseconh time. 1t has been rendered i'm
xnnnpe against that disease. A mysteri-
- GUS process of chemistry has taken
bplace in the child's body, protecting it,
yperhaps for lifetime, perhaps for linn
1ited period, against the germs of the
S1isease.
The same process may be developed
snrtihcially. Inoculate the disease In
l,nild form, and the danger OF succumb-
ing to a serious attack will be minim-

Eltrate contains the diphtheria toxin.
II the toxin Is found 20 be of sufficient
strength, that is If Il &C. of it will kill
q guinea pig weighing 500 grains in
forty-eight hours, 8 &C. of the toxin is
injected intothe shoulder of a young
and absolutely healthy horse. This
will cause reaction, and diphtheria
antitoxin will form in the blood. The
next time about i &C will be injected,
and correspondence larger amount of
antitoxin will form. Doses of toxin
are constantly increased until the horse
can bear without serious symptoms the
enormous amount of 300 &C of toxin
per injection. Some of the blood of the
horse is then drawn off and put on ice
for few days to allow 1t to coagulate
The blood serum, ie., the water with
albuminous and saline matter In So
luton, possesses the anti-toxin proper
ties and is taken off with pipette.
Its strength is tested by incubation on
diseased guinea pigs, and IL one grain
of the serum viii neutralize one grain
of the toxin, 1t is ready for use.
The forearm of the human patient
suffering with diphtheria is given q
hypodermic injection Of the antitoxiu.
If the disease is in the incipient state
one injection viii generally suffice,
otherwise doses must be repeated
several times.
| When the experiments were first be-
gun, number of different animals
were used as mediums for the pro-
duction of antitoxin. II was soon
! found however, that it is not the actual
immunity of an animal which would
be of any value when transferred to q
diseased individual, but the amount Ct
acquired immunity.
J For this reason, the horse was SO
lected as the most appropriate for the
production of tetanus and diphth eria
antitoxin. 1t is remarkably suscepti-
BILE to these diseases, but shows great
power of reaction, and can develop
enormous quantities of antitoxin. II
is very healthy animal and the danger
of inoculating other diseases with its
blood is practically nil; it can furnish
immense quantities of blood, and-an
important point-:he horse is IN many
respects similar to man. The best re-
suits will always be obtained by inocu-
lation from homogen species. Goats.
sheep, and other animals have been
tried, but none can compare with the
horse in adaptability; the horseless age
is not at hand. sti. ~i
The tetanus, diphtheria and other
antitoxins have been in use only very
few years, in our country but a few
months, and then hardly ever outside
of the hospitals. The evidence then

Salt Makes sugar sw.eter.

Who would think of making sugar
sweeter by the addition of salt? Such,
however, is asserted to be the case by
Prof. Zuntz at late meeting of the
Physiological society Of Berlin. From
his experiments he finds, that if to a
solution of sugar there be added a
slight amount of salt and water SO weak
that it excites no saline taste, the re-
suit is extra sweetening Of the sugared
water. The weakest of quinine solu-
ton is said to produce a practically
similar result. The explanation given
of the above seeming incongruity Is
that the ever SO feeble sadness Or Bit
terness imparts an increased sensibility

A oIscouRTeoUs LAWYER.
Ee Did Not Act Like Gentleman from
Virginia.


In Kentucky an unfortunate mer-
chant saw bankruptcy confronting
him, and to save portion of his prop
erty he invoked the name Of his wife
and the assistance Of q friend. The
creditors instituted proceedings to re-
cover certain property, and in the
course of the proceedings his friend,
native of Virginia, was put upon the
stand All went well, says the Louis
Vile Post, until the witness was sub
iected to rigid cross-examination by a
lawyer, himself q native Of Virginia.
The witness went laundering along at
such a rate that his lawyer felt IL nee
essary to interfere and tell him that he
was not required to answer questions
which would criminate himself.
After the close of the case. which re-
suited disastrously for our accommo-
dating friend from Virginia, he ex-
pressed indignation at the humiliation

was never in my life treated with SO
little courtesy" he said. "The oppos-
ing counsel did not act at all like a

different treatment, especially as !
learned that he was from Virginia. and
he knew was from that state. No.
sir, in the old days no Virginia gentle
man, sir, would cause another Virginia
gentleman the slightest embarrassment
because Of SO paltry matter, nor
would he seek by set interrogatories to
make him contradict himself. No, sir,

purpose of increasing the dividends of
few Yankee clients whom he never

Since February the death rate has
sunk to IA per cent. Indeed wonder
full showing when we consider that the
death rate in cases of actual diphtheria
Is over 80 per cent, when no antitoxin
is used.
And it is not only as curative, but also
IS :. preventive, that the great remedy
may be used. Reliable cases, sufficient
In number to leave no room for doubt
have been reported of children who had
been rendered temporarily immune by
a single injection of antitoxin while in
the midst of a household where
diphtheria was raging. BY expert
menting on guinea pigs it was shown
that dose of antitoxin injected be-
fore infection requires only 1-100,
sometimes 1-1OOO, of the strength needed
when the same amount of toxin had
found its way into the pigs system
twenty four hours before the antidote
was injected.
In Its effect antitoxin Is absolutely
harmless. 1t sometimes produces skin
eruptions, weakness and other slight
symptoms in human patients, but the
medicine is not considered poison,
and it cannot be in any way dangerous
to the sick or the healthy. Not the
slightest fear need be entertained in
that regard.
What Is true of diphtheria and
tetanus we may infer to hold good In
all germ diseases. We know that the
principles Of partial and total immunity
evince themselves throughout the ami
NAL kingdom; we are almost positive
that this partial immunity may always
be increased by infection of disease,
and we may Judge by analogy that II
some animal can produce properties in
the blood, antitoxic to certain diseases,
other animals can be found whose blood
will yield the same medicine againet
other diseases. We believe, further,
that at least all infectious diseases are
germ diseases (for how else could they
be infectious?), and we may justly in
fer that in avery few years a great,
complex system of new remedies
will come into use, and as fire drives
out fire, the disease itself shall produce
within the animal body the antidotc
| against its virulence. We are on the

TOMB OF MARY AND LAZARUS.
An Interesting Tombstone Discovered In
Palestine.

Palestine.
In recent issue of the Journal of
the German Palestine society. Prof.
Gelzer, of Jena, discussed an interest
ing tombstone discovered at Cesarea,
in Palestine, and which first appeared
in the Revue Biblique, published at Je-
rusalem. The inscription reads: MON
ument belonging to Tor dedicated toy
Mary and Lazarus" The language is
Greek, and the inscription dates from
the fourth or fifth century. The orig
inal editors, the Dominicans Of Jerusa-
lem, thought that it was merely mon
ument of two persons by the names of
Mary and Lazarus. Gelzer, however,
is of opinion that the Biblical persons
of these names were intended, espe-
cially also in view of the fact that
Marys name precedes that Of Lazarus.
He draws attention to the fact that in
the first half of the fifth century the
discovery of apostles and prophets
tombs was "a flourishing and mani
testify also lucrative branch Of indus.
try At that period It was claimed
that the bodies of Joseph, Samuel,
Zachariah, John the Baptist, and other
Biblical men were found, and many of
these pseudo relics were transported to

mains of the sister and brother from
