AT u recent dinner In New York one

on Prohibition in Maine, and ex-Speaker

err by the production by Roux and Behring
of an anti-toxin for the cure OF diphthe-
ria These gentlemen ascertained that
when certain animals, preferably horses,
were inoculated with gradually increased
doses of toxins, made from the kleps-
Loefler bacilli, they became immune 70

was converted into a specific which Prov
ed to be an almost certain cure for that
formidable disease. At first the cost OK
this serum was very great, but OF late
years the municipality of New York has
placed IL within the reach OF the poorest
person, and the results Of its use have
been in the highest degree satisfactory.
/ refrain from going into the complete
statistics al hand which would prove this
statement but merely call attention to the
fact that for ten years preceding the use
of anti-toxins the death from Group and
diphtheria averaged in Paris l,463, and
in Berlin ! 419 annually. whereas during
the anti-toxin period, 1895 to 1899, they aY-
eraged 1888 and 6S6. respectively, or less
than one-haR In New York the deaths
formerly averaged 1884 a year, while since
the Introduction of antl-toxin they have
averaged only 1853, and in 1898 they num-
bered only 923. / may add that during the
wear 1sgs-99 the percentage of deaths in
nersons who received the anti-toxin treat
fnent was no more than IT. This record
in the cure OF disease formerly regarded
as dangerous in the extreme, and the
mortality, which was from 25 per cent. to
40 per cent. is certainly remarkable.

Advance in Surgery.
There is nothing perhaps that appeals
to the lay mind so strongly as the ad-
vance in surgery This has largely result
ed from the discoveries of Lister VINO
was the first TO realize fully the danger
of germ poisoning in wounds, ana the
principles of whose antlseptlc treatment
govern surgery to this day. The absence
of such treatment was one of the causes
of the tremendous mortality OF the ClVil
War. and Of former wars and IT'S absence
rendered fatal large class OF operations
which are now regarded as safe. Among
these me most important are those affect
ing the abdominal cavity.
In the older times only one or two per
cent of such operations were successful,
but to-day less than l per cent. are Ia

has become matter of comparatively TIL

or all the stomach or part of the intes-

Wonderful Changes in Living.

Wonderful Changes i'm Living.
But while the feats of surgery are more
spectacular, SO to speak, than those ac-
complished by the physicians, the feats
of the latter are more far reaching in the
good they have done. 1t is possible that
the best results have arisen from inn
proved methods of living, and these i'm
provements are nowhere so plainly to be
seen as in New York. Twenty years have
wrought wonderful changes in the city at
the Hudsons mouth. Drainage is better,
the water supply is improved, plumbing
is more perfect the pan closet has almost
disappeared and cesspools no longer exist
Personal cleanliness is growing more
common, and these changes are even more
evident in the tenements than in the pri-
vate houses which are not under public
supervision
There are to-day no such slums as those
which disgraced New York in the 7O's.
Suburban trains and the Brooklyn bridge
have thinued the population, and Manhat-
tan is no longer crowded as in former
days The vast fruit raising industries
of the South, the increased grain out
nut of the West. the meat packers of Chi
cago, and the truck farmers of New Eng
land, have created food supply such as
our fathers never dreamed of. The peo-
pie know better what TO eat. and how to
cook and eat it. They wear better clothes
Their whole plane of living has been rails
ed and in the great work OF education
ana enlightenment which has made this
possible the magazines and the daily press
have had an honorable share. Attention
to the facts and opinions given out by the
physicians and carried broadcast by the
newspapers, as well as the more material
changes, have done much to make New
York one of the healtfest great cities
In the world.
Under the benign influence of enlighten.
ment and cleanliness a considerable class
of disorders known as zymotic, or hlth
disease, have been almost wiped out of ex-
istence. Typhus fever, for instance, IL
as extinct as the great AUX, and there
are few physicians in practice to-day who
have ever seen a case Of 1t. Many years
have passed since there has been serious
outbreak of cerebro-spinal meningitis. La
grippe still exists, as most of us have
reason to know, but only in a very modi-
fled form 1t no longer devastates whole
cities as in the days before King Filth
was dethroned, and only occasionally and
Il was once capable.
