FOR TREATING GERM DISEASES.
Important Work of Dr. Oscar
LOcw,

DR.. Oscar Loew, one of the expert vege-
table Psychologists of the Agricu- turaI De
partment has developed to what he be
lives is point of practical use a new treat
ment for germ diseases which promises to
supersede the serum treatment now in use
in diphtheria. fevers and many other dis
eases DR. Lpew's work has been carried
on for several years in collaboration with
DR.. r. Emmerich. The experiments have
been conducted in the laboratories of
Munich and this country The results
never have been published in full but have
been such to warrant Introducing rho
taim-nt INTO actual hospital practice
The treatment is similar in some respects
70 the serum treatment. but depends on =
oitierent pr nciple, the basic idea being the
presence OF a ass of ftrDCutS known as
engines, which are produced by the same
bacteria That produce the disease 1t is
DEED Use OF the production. rather over
production, Of certain engine that a dis
ease SdCn as TYPHOID VIII run its course"
and then die out of the system. The bac-
terra III this case. it is stated. are simply
Killed out BY the ferment they produce.
The object OF the new treatment is to
produce a pure engine. which. introduced
INTO the human system. will kill the disease
germs without injurin@ the patient. This
dlHers from the principle Of incubation for
smallpox and other Diseases where the
object is to give the patient q mild TYNE of
the disease 10 render him immune 10 the
more NiTule1t type.
Dr. LOew and his colleague. Dr. Emme~-
len. have studied and Gu tivated the en-
Zymes of various Diseases and it is claim
ed. have found that the engines of certain
bacteria will kill not only their parent
germs. but also the germs of cholera. ty-
phoid fever anthrax. diphtheria black
plague Stdphlococct and probably gonococ-
c. An engine that Will be fatal to tuber-
cuIos;s Is being sought. though the bacillus

was applied without success in the cases
recently developed in one of the Iabora-
tories in Vienna
me engines are very unstable products,
and for this reason quickly deterforata bat
Or Loew be ieves he has found a method
OF preserving them in shape for use. The
IuTther development of this form of treat
ment Is awaited with interest by scientists

FEARED IT'S TERRORS.
Japanese, Relieving They Had the
PIaEne, Drown ThemseIYes.

The bodies of two japanese sailors of
the plague ship Nippon Maru were found
in the bay at San Francisco yesterday and
towed to point off shore by fishermen,
who were afraid to touch the bodies more
than was necessary to attach rope to them
for towing purposes. The coroner was
notified, and the bodies were taken to the
morgue, where every precaution is being
taken to prevent any spread of disease,
should the men have carried any germs
with them into the bay.
1t Is believed the men were afraid to
stay on the steamer, and, after attaching
life preservers to their bodies, jumped over
board and were drowned. On the trip of
the Maru, from Honolulu to San Francisco,
young Japanese girl died of some >mys-
FERROUS disease, and was buried at sea an
hour after death. ApopleXy was given as
the cause of her DEATH but the affiiction
seldom seizes one so young, and the Japan
ese never die of the complaint. 1t is be-
lieved the disease has been stamped out
from the Maru, but she will be kept in
quarantine for some time as precaution-
airy measure.
Later in the day portions of the bodies of
the two men were sent to bacteriologist
for examination. and the two bodies were
sent to crematory for incineration.

that Congress make the course AT the Naval
