CURE is A
FAILURE.
Rabbit Brain injections Failed
10 Save Negro Suffering
From Tetanus.

st. Louis, Aug 20-The new cure for
lockJaw expounded by Or. Robert Koch.
the eminent Berlin scientist-that OF in
jecting rabbits brains into tho system
has received it's first trial in the City
hospital here. the experiment being made
by John r. Milliken. a chemist, and Supt.
Nietert. of the hospital. The experiment
was not success. the patient dying.
The patient was Edward Caldwell
forty-seven years old a negro. Two
weeks ago a heavy casting fell on his
right foot, which was severely lacerated.
Caldwell neglected to have the wound
dressed and Friday night symptoms OF
tetanus appeared.
Caldwell was taken 10 the hospital. and
the physicians found that he was suffer-
ing with a severe case OF traumatic te-
tanus. They decided the new treatment
offered the only hope of saving his life.
Rabbits were killed and their brains
macerated so that the substance could
be used In a syringe. Injections were
begun at noon yesterday and continued
at intervals. During the twenty-four
hours i'm which the injections were ad-
signs OF Improvement and the expert
mentalists were very hopeful al midnight
that he would recover few hours
later. however, the violent symptoms OF
lockjaw returned. soon the Jaws resumed
their terrible set and death followed In
spite OF heroic efforts TO save the pa
tents life
The physicians are notyet satisfied that
the treatment is a failure. for they be-
lieve that had IL been administered a
little sooner cure would have resulted.
Tetanus Is caused by a toxin intro
duced into the system and carried by
the blood into the brain. This poison
paralyzes the inhibitory nerve cells. and
muscles are unrestraired. Violent con-
fractions OF the muscles. especially those
governing the lower jaw, result.
The tension OF the muscles Is
so great that death Is caused
by exhaustion. According 10 the new
theory rabbits brains absorb the poison
and so prevent IL from reaching the VIC
TINS brain.
