among MS fellow sufferers Drs.
Wood and Kaul made tests with
cider en- othsr patients and found
most gratifying results. A pint

drove away the eruption in from
five to fifteen days and ten
patients were entirely cured and
discharged within a month.
Other tests were made among tho
Mexican residents along the
international line, where there
