accidental poisoning because among several
medicine bottles the wrong was taken-the

traceable to some disorder of the digestive
organs, or to some impurity in the blood

Talk with the Physicians.

The case OF william Curtis, the coloretl
man, who is at present confined at the
Emergency Hospital undergoing the antI-
toxine treatment for loo kjaw, has at
traGte,i the attention Of the physicians Of
Washington. and the records of the case
are likely TO prove of equal interest to the
doctors OF other cities.
The success Of the Curtis treatment Is
comparatively an unknown quantity. IL
has been tried in other places before this
time, but in The previous instances the
cunditUn of the patient was not as serious
a. in Curtis case.
The mans condition was immeasurably
improved this morning. He suffered but
little pain and the muscles of the abdomen
had almost resumed their normal COndi
ton The tension OF the jaw muscles was
considerably relaxed, and Curtis ex-
perienced only slight difficulty in swal-
lowing. In few moments he maintained
conversation with the attendant ply
scians, declaring that he felt much re-
lievcd. 1t is hoped that he will be able
to leave the hospital in a few weeks.
The symptoms OF the dread disease, under
which the man is now labOring, are some
what akin to those Of 'hydrophObia. The
method Of treatment is closely allied in
many features to the PaSteW cure. Horses,
as Well as men are affected with tetanus
and it Is from these animals that the
serum used in the new cure is obtained.
When the brute has been attacked with
the lockia W, virus is ken from il, with
which another horse is inOculated. A
thIrd horse receives incubation from the
virus of the second animal. and thus in
successive stages the power of the virus
is IesseRed. until it is in condition for
in seton into human being. 1t IS then
strong enough TO kill the germs of the
disease but not of sufficient power to Kill
