ANOTHER NEW SERUM.
Suid to BE n Specific for the Cure
ErpsipeIas and Other Diseases

Said to BE Specific for the Cure of
ErpsipeIas ana Other Diseases.
The discovery of new serum by Dr.
Marmorek, who is at present working in the
Pasteur institute, Is announced, says the
Paris Temps. In his studies HE found that
a dangerous bacillus, the steptococus. which
occurred In various forms IN eyirulent sick
nesses like erysipelas and bronchial
pneumonia, could be made perfectly harmless
by incubation with a seEuh, taken from
horses in a way similar TO the diphthera
serum. His experiments coverla "a period of
more than two years, and besides being very
effective in the sicknessess above named, he
has achieved decided improvements In cases
Of puerperal and surgical Infections, and
even in cases of gangrene. Bronchial trou-
bles and erysipelas often appear with diph-
liberia, and although the diphthera serum
relieves the latter sickness, the troubles may
be fatal to system weakened by diphtheria.
DR. Marmorek now gives both the new and
the diphtheria serum to his patients, and
has succeeded in further reducing fatalities
In the diphtheria cases occurring at the
children's hospital under his charge At the
present moment DR.. Marmorek has twenty
horses under treatment and Will soon be able
TO prepare enough serum to distribute some
Of 1t to the outside world.
