cause for thankfulness than was the
Jenner discovery of smallpox virus.
Smallpox comes only as an epidemic at
worst. These other diseases are an ever
present source of menace.
THE discovery of which I am thinking
is the new serum for the prevention and
healing of typhoid. For years interesting
experiments have been going on abroad

rich and poor alike, could not be taken
in its first stages and cured. Being a germ

lection is made into the tissues and the
fever subsidies. In four days there is
normal temperature, and, after treat
ment of tonics and care, the patient Is
well again. So much Is settled.
But in the discovery Of serum cures

tain virus will counterfeit certain dis

than knowing that clay will build a house
The construction of the bricks, the plac-

so with a newly discovered virus. tx
periments must be made upon ANNA IS,
experiment after experiment. The great
est care must be used in the choice OK
the animal. It must be one that can
be taken as a prototype of the human
frame. Then the experiment must be
conducted painstakingly and cautiously
until the exact results are obtained.
Small profit would a new serum be II il

patients would die from its strength than

THE way Of conducting experiments is
interesting 10 any mind that follows later

gentle and easily managed animal. The
animal is made sick with the disease
by injecting the toxine of the poison.

abroad. But to a physician this does not
present Itself in this way. The new dis
e sbyeaS does s not come from
Paris, nor Berlin, nor Vienna.
1t comes from the minds Of the men Uho
are there. Europe is the experimental
ground of the medical profession ike
wise their playground. There they meet
and study az they cannot meet and study
mere; and when the American doctor
comes home he has left the sparkle Of
his intellect and the cleverness Of his OBJ
servatlon to bear fruit and come back TO
him.
"of course no doctor but must admit
that physicians can have a liberty in the
cause OF science abroad that they cannot
have here. There people are absolutely
without scruples in the cause Of medicine,
and 1t IS easy TO get subjects for expert
ments such as one might search the
streets and Hospitals in vain for here.
This applies even to the dissecting table
