new SERUM FOR PNEUMONIA.
Prof. wssserman, One ofKoch's Pupils, Is Believed
10 Have Made a Great Discovery.

Berlin. March 2.-Prof. Wasserman,
one of Prof Koch's ablest pupils, is be-
lieved to have discovered new serum
for the cure Of pneumonia
He inoculated rabbits with the pneu-
mococus bacillus. which is generally
believed to cause pneumonia. and with
the serum thus gained he inoculated
mice suffering from pneumonia.
A subsequent series or experiments
showed that IL was in the red marrow
OF the bones that the antltoxin is pro-
duced and that red marrow taken from
a human corpse after death from
pneumonia and used as a serum will
cure mice infected with that disease.
Accordingly IL is hoped that this Sc
rum will have tho same satisfactory re-
suits in human beings.
