before that time. Within this short
period reliable records of cures in
diphtheria and tetanuss commonly
known as lockjaw) had been collected,
The antitoxin had been obtained, its
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 q new system of fighting
disease, based on this principle, will he
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 neutralizc
the effect of toxins tpoisons) 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 a
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-O by infection, or (2) by
intoXicatijn, i. e., incubation 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 a
second time. 1t has been rendered i'm
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 III
mild form, and the danger of succumb-
ing to 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

salmon. DR.. Stone regards it as fortu-
nate for our country that there is in
our Alaskan possessions just such a
place as is wanted probably more than
one-and so exceptionally fortunate is
America in this respect that it is not
likely that, this side of the frozen and
uninhabitable shores of the Arctic, it
can be duplicated in the possessions of
all the nations of the earth combined,
which significant circumstance goes to
show how near the world has reached
the extreme limit of it's salmon supply.
The locality referred to is an island
in the North Pacific about $50 miles
nearly due west Of Sitka. It's name is
Afognak, and it is the northernmost of
the two largest islands of the group
called the Kadiak islands. 1t lies just
north of latitude So and between 152
and 1913 west longitude. 1t is small
island, probably not more than fifty
miles across at it's widest part, but
there arc several streams flowing from
various points of the island to the sur
rounding ocean that at the proper sea-
son contain salmon innumerable. 1t is
no exaggeration to say that salmon
swarm mp these streams in countless
myriads. SIN 1889 the salmon were so
thick in the streams that it was abso-
lutely necessary, in fording them, to
kick the salmon out of the way to avoid
stumbling over them"
This story illustrates as well as any
thing the wonderful abundance of
salmon in the Afognak streams; and it
can be easily believed when it is re-
membered that about q month earlier
$4,000 salmon were caught in one day
at the mouth of the Karlull, which is
river only sixty feet wide where it
empties into the ocean. The salmon
are there in as great numbers as could
be wished All the varieties also
which inhabit the Pacific ocean come
to Afognak. The list is a royal cata-
logue: The red salmon, the "blue-
back" of the Columbia; the king
salmon, the 'quinnat" or ''spring
salmon" of the Columbia; the silver
salmon, the "silvcrsides" of the Column
bia; the humpback salmon, the dog
salmon, the steelhead, the square
tailed" trout of the tributaries of the
Columbia, and the dolly warden"
What paradise for salmon this island
is, and what magnificent place of
safety it would be if it were set aside
for national park, where the salmon
could always hereafter be unmolested!
The island is inhabitable all the year
round; with a comparatively even tenn
perature, although SO far north, the
winters cold is not excessive, probably
not equaling that of parts of New
England. 1t is colder than New Eng
land in summer, but there is
much less variation of tempera-
ture between summer and winter.

filtratc contains the diphtherfa toxin.
If the toxin is found to be of sufficient
strength, that is if 4 &C. of it will kill
guinea pig weighing 500 grains in
forty-eight hours, g &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 Il &C. will be injected,
and 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 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 it 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 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, 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
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
antitoxin. 1t is remarkably suscepti-
BILE to these diseases, but shows great
power of reaction, and can develop
enormous quantities of antitoxin. 1t
is very healthy animal and the danger
of inoculating other diseases with it's
immense quantities of blood, and-an
important point-the horse is IN many
respects similar to man. The best re-
suits will always be obtained by inocu-
lation from homogen species. Coats
sheep, and other animals have been
tried, but none can compare with the
horse in adaptability; the horseless ago
is not at hand.
The tetanus, diphtheria and other
antitoxins have been in use only a very
few years, in our country but a few
months, and then hardly ever outside
of the hospitals. The evidence then

rosettes at the waist of the same rich
hue.
For trimming silk dresses, and wooden
ones as well, lace will be used, but not
in the tawdry profusion of past seasons,
the edict having gone forth that none
but the genuine article shall adorn my
lady's froch the coming season. Trim
mings of real guipure and Venice point
will be the proper caper. There is also
a lovely combination of point de Venice
and real Valenciennes that will be
largely used, especially for collars and
scarfs, and any woman fortunate
enough to own fichu of real Brussels
point will be right in the swim as it
were.
The first autumn bonnets and hats
are of the dark fancy straws that were
so popular all summer, with perhaps
the raspberry reds and rich dark browns
leading in favor The fancy for gay
colors will be particularly noticeable in
hats, although the all black hat has
not been entirely abandoned. Green
and blue in combination has not yet
been too much used to destroy it's popu-
larity and will be seen ON many of the
handsomest bonnets. Most of the new
hats not covered with black feathers
are trimmed round the crown with
thick ruche of either chiffon or ribbon
or cocks feathers, terminating at one
side with an erect bunch of something
quilts, flowers or tips. AS it is pos
sible to get these ruches at the stores,
ready-made, the thrifty sister of an
economical turn of mind may become
her own milliner without doing any
serious damage to her reputation as
well-dressed woman. There is really
nothing new or striking in the way of
shapes, it being little early yet for
anything definite.
Novelties will appear later,' when
they are required for evening and Wis
ting wear and the various functions of
life in large cities. The little low
Dutch bonnet SO generally becoming
will go through another season and,

ten of the ubiquitous sailor hat, which
comes up serene and smiling in all the
fancy straws as well as in chip and fine
felt. Certainly the sailor hat has it's
uses, and also its abuses, as is much in
evidence in any gathering where there
are women. For instance, it was never
intended for dress-up occasions, as
some women seem to imagine, but sole
ly for outing and common everyday
wear. But even this breach could be
forgiven were it only worn on the head
of the very young girl, to whose face
alone is it suitable and becoming.

Total.

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 so per cent, when no antitoxin
is used.
And it is not only as a 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 antitoxin while in
the midst of household where
diphtheria was raging. By expert
menting on guinea pigs it was shown
that dose of antitoxin injected be-
fore infection requires only HOO,
sometimes 1000, 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 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 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 thew
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 antidote
against its virulence. We are on the
eve OF great awakening in medical
science. b. L. GUSpLACH

are in lustrous pure white or else
cream-tinted alpaca. They are made
mostly in the skirt and coat style with
the short open jacket lined with col
ored taffeta silk and worn over a shirt
waist of the same taffeta
Others have the waist made of the
alpaca, with wide plat down the
front and the collar and belt miroir
velvet matching the jacket lining in
color. These short jackets are invaria-
bly, made with loose front, although
more latitude is allowed in shaping the
back. Some have the godcted back of
last spring slightly modified, while
others, again, show the really novel
''sac back"
The sac backs are really very stylish
in appearance and have the added at
traction of newness, SO irresistible to
many; but it cannot be worn successfully
save by favored few, and only the ex.
tremely slender woman with small
waist and hip measure should count it
among her possessions. The picture rep
resents an entirely now model in short
jackets, the fiaring collar giving spe-
cial charm. 1t is made sleeveless,
slashed at the side seam and finished
with fancy galloon trimming. L might
mention in passing that some of the
newer alpaca coats have their edges
simply finished by several rows of ma
chine stitching.
A silk frock is not an extravaganza
these days when good silks are to. be
had for n mere song. The autumn silks
are, of course, higher in price than
those offered for sale during the last
weeks of summer, but even they are
not beyond the reach of the multi
tude. These silks are much richer and
more beautiful than any have ever
seen, and it takes viii of iron to re-
sist them. The fancy for chameleon
hueS has by no means reached it's limit.
In some of the handsomest patterns
much violet red and gold are blended
on dark grounds, the effect being love
ly in the extreme. These gaily-colored
silks are not intended for street wear,
but used for elegant house dresses,
made up in style similar to that worn
during the latter part of the season just
passed. The model in the picture shows
very pretty and generally becoming
style. 1t is made of prune-colored peau
de sole shot with deep violet, cherry
red and coral-pinlz. The perfectly
plain skirt measures six yards at the
hem and is lined throughout with pink
taffeta. The overhanging front to the
round waist is exactly like those worn
all summer, but the surplice collar
shows an entirely new idea. 1t is made
of rose-pinll chiffon, edged with point
de Venice lace and finishes with bow

Cancels hair cloth is an ideal material
which, on account of it's exclusive price,
never gets really common. Some of the
new colorings in this goods are cx-
tremely lovely, especially those show
ing a soft mingling of blue and brown
tints which would prove becoming to
the complexion of most any woman.

in the days of our grandmothers will
be very popular during the coming
months; but l like much better cloth

learned that an antidote to germ diseases
could be formed by inoculating the
disease. Why not obtain this anti
toxin from an immunized animal and
inject it into the blood of the patient?
Investigators set about manufacturing
the mysterious antidote in systematic
manner.
Diphtheria, the germ OF which was
discovered in 1884, was chosen as the
principal subject of experiment. They
proceed as follows:
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 scaled test
tube containing beef broth. They are
placed in an incubator 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
