The Conquest of Diphtheria.

In treatise on diphtheria and its
treatment by serotherapy, shortly to
be published, Dr.. Charles Richet, who
was the first to apply the serum injec-
lions made famous by the work of DR..
Roux at the Pasteur Institute, Paris,
gives some interesting statistics on the
practical results attained since the dis
covery and application of the method.
He goes back thirty years for statis-
les relative to the mortality caused by
liphtheria.
In 1867, when the population OF
Paris was just half what it is now,
there were 696 deaths from the
scourge. From that year they in
creased gradually until 1872, when
they attained the number of 1885, and
did not fall again below 1000 until
after the discovery of serotherapy. In
1876 diphtheria caused 1900 deaths,
and in 1877, 1890. For three consecu-
i've years then the average was over
1000. It fell little afterward, butup
20 1894 the annual average ranged be-
tween 400 and 1000.
In September, 1894, the Roux
method was applied, and at once be-.
came widely used. For the year 1894
(only four months Of which should be
eounted) the deaths fell to $50. In
1895 there were but 440, and last year
only 1923. Tt would seem, then, that
serotherapy has reduced the mortality
in diphtheria to an average Of less than
one-t third of that which was main
tanned for a quarter of a century.
If the statistics be examined, not
year by year, but by periods Of two
weeks, the improvement is even more
marked, not only in true diphtheria,
but also in diphtheratic affections. In
the years up to 1894, for instance,
there were never less than forty deaths
from Group in any fortnight; but since
that year there have never been more
than six for a like period. In short,
since the introduction Of serotherapy,
even in the most uhfavorable weeks,
the mortality has been invariably less
than half the average for the years
1S67-94, and many times only one
tenth as great. New York Sun.

The state supreme court Of Cali
tornia has affirmed the judgment Of
guilty Of murder in the first degree
found against J. E. Banks, who killed
Mrs. Harriet Stiles and J. B. Borden
at Ocean Side, San Diego county, on
September 6, 1895. The case was ap-
pealed on the grounds that the evil
aence was circumstantial and that tho
lower court erred in refusing to allow
/. hypnotist, B. A. Stevens, to testify
that he hypnotized the defendant after
The murder and that the latter denied
the crime when under the hypnotic
spell. Commissioner Searles, whose
opinion was affirmed by the court, said
that the law did not recognize hypnot-
ism. In passing on the case the SUI
oreme court agreed, but Justice Nc
Farland took occasion to say that he
aid not quite agree Us to the attitude
Of the law toward hypnotism. It
could not be considered in this case,
ne said, though it might be in others.
