Alternating TOxines.
It would seem that we are on the
eve of most beautiful and fascinating
developments in the field Of the im>
munizing of toxines. Psychologists
have been melted to renewed activity
Of experimentation and research BY
the announcement that the play Of
phosphorescent light and actually kill
the bacilli OF tuberculosis, and the
value Of the ROentgen ray for the
same purpose will probably soon be
determined. Pending further results
IN both these directions, D'Arsonval
and Charrin have been Investigating
the action Of high-frequency currents
on bacterial toxines. Former investi-
gators have confined themselves to
continuous currents, in which the re-
suits obtained are vitiated by the
chemical action due to electro! ysis-
D'ArsOnyal and Charrin, on the other
hand, have used high-frequency alter
mating currents, the toxine being con-
tanned in q tubes plunged in iced
water in order to prevent heating.
The effect of the electrical action
greatly diminished the virulency OF
the toXines of diphtheria and pyaemia,
when tried on guinea pigs. Further
more, the tOXineS thus rendered harm
less sensibly augmented the resistance
OF the animals to infection of sim
liar kind, becoming. in fact. preven-
tive yaccines. If this proves to be the
case with the toxines of other bac-
terra, it will provide much better
method Of attenuation than that now
in use, for though in a few cases this
can be done by age or drying, it is
usually necessary to pass the virus
through the system of some unfortu-
nate animal. A purely physical pro-
cess would not only be more humane,
but would give q certain and measure
able result instead Of one always liable
to be affected by unknown factors in
the constitution Of the animal operated
upon. The influence of the action OF
high-frequency alternating currents
on the bacterial products in the human
body is one of the subjects for new
light on which electrotherapists and
scientists generally are waiting with
intense interest

Scrubs in the Dairy

pure-bred blooded stock. but what a
vast difference in results The scrub
cow will give perhaps 100 pounds of
butter rat III year, while an improy-
ed COW produces 800 or even 400
pounds OF butter in the same period of
tlme. The contrast is very plain and
obvious, In one case we have nothing
but lost opportunity and money losses.
In the other, reasonable profits and a
comfortable, successful business. What

the dairyman can i'll afford to raglect
the best chance he has. If he cannot
fix market prices, he can produce large
quantities of the best butter at lowest
practicable cost. Another thing to
think Of is whether or not the best and
cheapest feeds are being used. The
dalryman must be a close observer and
student OF market values and compost
tion of feed stuffs. He must not only
know what are the best feeds for his
own purpose but what are, really cheap
