Since February the death rate has
sunk to IA per cent. Indeed q wonder
full showing when we consider that the
death rate in cases of actual diphtheria
is over so per cent, when no antitoxin
is used.
And it is not only as n curative, but also
as 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 antitoSin while in
the midst of household where
diphtheria was raging. By expert
that a dose of antitoxin injected be-
fore infection requires only 1-1O0,
sometimes 1-1000, of the strength needed
when the same amount of toxin had
found it's 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 a 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 u disease,
and we may judge by analogy that if
some animal can produce properties in
the blood, antitoxic to certain diseases,
other animals can be found whose blood
will yield the same medicine against
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 a avery few years a great,
complex system of new remedies
viii come into use, and as fire drives
out fire, the disease itself shall produce
within the animal body the antidote
against its virulence. We are on the
eve of a great awakening in medical
science. e. T. GUNDLACH

before that time. Within this short
period reliable records of cures in
diphtheria and tetanuss commonly
known as loclkjaw) had been collected.
The antitoxin had been obtained, it's
value had been practically demon
strated. but the principle involved re-
mains a mystery to all. That some
great, far-reaching principle is coming
to light, that a new system of fighting
disease, based on this principle, will be
evolved-that is admitted by all who
have studied the subject. The eyes of
searching investigators and profound
thinkers are cleaning with the hope of
evolving this new system in time to
add the discovery to that unrivaled
galaxy Of achievements which illumin-
ates nineteenth century progress.
What is antitoxin? AntitoXin is
anti-poison, an antidote for poison. AS
we use the word, it means substance
developed in animal blood to neutralize
the effect of toxins (poisons) Of disease.
How is it obtained? From the blood
of immunized animals. And here we
must explain the nature of immunity.
All animal blood has been shown to
possess to a greater or lesser degree of
bactericide properties. When an ami
NAL becomes infected with disease
combat takes place, according to we'll
SubStantiated authorities, between the
germs of the disease and a mysterious
something in the blood. This bacteri-
eide property varies in power and quail
ity in different species. Thus the blood
of man offers complete resistance to
germs of pigeon cholera, that of the
dog against anthrax, of the chicken
against tetanus, and so on. These ami
mails are said to be immune against
such diseases.
The important point is that the i'm
munity against certain diseases may be
increased. This may be done in one of
two ways-Q) by infection, or (2) by
intoxicati)n, i. e., inocu]ation Of the dis
ease. Every child knows that when it
has once had a disease the chances are
that it will not catch the same disease
second time. It has been rendered ina
mune against that disease. A mysteri
Gus process of chemistry has taken
place in the child's body, protecting it,
perhaps for lifetime, perhaps for linn
tied period, against the germs of the
disease
The same process may be developed
artifcially. Inoculate the disease in
mild form, and the danger of succumb-
ing to q serious attack will be minim-
lied. This is the principle of vaccina-
ton.
From vaccination to the use of anti
toxin is but one step. Scientists had

With a cotton wad few of the germs
are brushed from the tonsils of human
patient, The wad is then drawn over
a mass of blood serum inclosed in dish
and the germs transferred thereon.
Here they have good opportunity to
feed and multiply. In twenty-four
hours each germ has grown into an
isolated colony of germs, called cul-
ture. The cultures are examined un-
der microscope, and those of diph-
liberia planted again in a sealed test
TUBE containing beef broth. They are
placed in an incuba at blood tenn
perature, and at the end of three or
four weeks are ready for use. The cul-
ture boullon is then filtered and the
fi1trate contains the diphtheria toxin.
If the toxin is found to be of sufficient
strength, that is if Il &C. of it will kill
guinea pig weighing 500 grains in
forty-eight hours, 5 &C. of the toxin is
injected into the shoulder of a young
and absolutely healthy horse This
will cause a reaction, and diphtheria
antitoxin will form in the blood The
next time about L &C. will be injected,
and a correspondingly larger amount of
antitoxin will form. Doses of toxin
are. constantly increased until the horse
can bear without serious symptoms the
enormous amount of 800 &C of toxin
Per injection. Some of the blood of the
horse is then drawn off and put on ice
for a few days to allow 1t to cOagulate.
The blood serum, i.e., the water with
albuminous and saline matter in so
luton, possesses the anti-toxin proper
ties and is taken off with a pipette.
It's strength is tested by incubation on
diseased guinea pigs, and if one grain
of the serum will neutralize one grain
of the toxin, it is ready for use.
The forearm of the human patient
suffering with diphtheria is given a
hypodermic injection of the antitoxin.
If the disease is in the incipient state
one injection will generally suffice,
otherwise doses must be repeated
several times.
When the experiments were first be-
gun, a number of different animals
were used as mediums for the pro-
duction of antitoxin. 1t was soon
found however, that it is not the actual
immunity of an animal which would
be of any value when transferred to a
diseased individual, but the amount of
acquired immunity.
For this reason, the horse was Sc
lected as the most appropriate for the
production of tetanus and diphtheria
ahtitoxin. 1t is remarkably suscepti-
BILE to these diseases, but shows great
power of reaction, and can develop
enormous quantities of antitoXin.
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
collected is most astonishing. DIR.
g. Futterer, in lecture at the Chicago
polyclinic in February last, cites the
following statistics of antitoxin treat
ment for diphtheria:

spectal Washington Letter.

Eon. Marshall Mcdonald, the late
commissioner of fish and fisheries,
was anxious to have national parks
or reservations established for the
propagation of salmon, and to pre-
vent the determination of that pop
ular family of fish. In the recently
issued bulletin of the work of
the commission in 1892, particular at
tention is paid to this subject 1t is
stated that not only is every contriv-
ance employed that human ingenuity
can devise to destroy the salmon of our
west-coast rivers, but more surely de-
structive, more fatal than all, is the

for years to those who have had oppor-
tunity for investigation, but that re-
gion of our country is SO remote and mac
cessible to the general public that until
the fish commissioner gave publication
of the facts it was impossible for every
one to know all of the truth and all of
the possibilities which may result from
prudent and economic development of
those resources. Statistics show that
$50, 900 cases, representing over 4,000,-
600 salmon, were taken from one in
significant rivulet which runs into the
Karluk river of Alaska during one sea-
SON. The entire product of the sea-
son of 1889 amounted to approximately
$4,000, ,OOO Surely that is an industry
worthy rather of development than of
neglect The product of the canneries
there for 1880 exceeded s., 500, 900. The
catch is accomplished by gill nets,
traps and seines, but the greatest catch
is made by haul seines which sweep the
eStuarieS of the small rivers. Seine
follows seine in rapid succession in
the proper season, and the catch is
almost complete in every case. These
important fisheries will be impcver-
ished within few years, unless The
suggestions of the fish commissioner
meet with prompt approval and con-
gressional action. SIXTH D. Fry.
