Is PNEUMONIA MASTERED.
Successful Treatment by Use of Anti
toxin Injections.
Philadelphia Record.


An increase in the number of deaths from
pneumonia in recent years has been re-
ported from most of the cities. In many
places there are weeks when the mortality
from this terroriZing malady exceeds that
charged against consumption. There has
been q higher rate of mortality among the
victims of pneumonia, which indicates that
the disease has become more virulent or
that people less able TO withstand it's
attacks or that the methods of treatment
are inferior. The medical profession and
intelligent people generally more fear
full of pneumonia, especially in the spring
months, than of any other ailment. 1t has
carried off more prominent men in every
community than any other disease.
1t Is natural that psychologists should
pay particular attention to the study of
the bacillus of pneumonia, and should en-
deavor TO do for the disease what has been
done for diphtheria The latter has lost
its terrOrs to a great extent. y dozen years
ago epidemcs of diphtheria were common,
and the rate of mortality was SO high TO
make full recovery, without distressing Sc
quences. seem almost miraculous. While
diphtheria is still a dread visitor, it is so
frequently cured when promptly treated
with proved serum To place il near the
end OF the mortality tables. This result
is to be credited TO antitoxin. For time
there was uncertainty as to whether the
accidents of serum therapy did not counter
balance its benefits, but careful expert
ments have led to the production Oh an
antitoxin for diphtheria that is virtually
perfect
1t is reported from Baltimore that the
recovery from pneumonia of Quarantine
Physician Heiskell is TO be credited abso-
lutely TO antitoxin injections. Can anti
toxin is the serum from the blood of an
animal which has been made immune.)
The health commissioner has made a de-
tailed report of DR.. Heiskell's case. which
was treated exclusively with two injections
Within four hours there was entire relief
from the pain and difficulty of breathing
and a lowering of temperature and respira-
ton. OF course, IL must require further
experiments TO determine the value of this
treatment, but when the success with diph-
iberia antitoxin is considered there is good
reason TO hope that pneumonia may cease
TO be the scourge il has become.
