tEan the virus is at the bottom Of all
uhc trouble. If the Infection does not
occur at the time OF vaccination, it fol-
lows the re-Gressings. or is due to the
failure to protect the abrnsions of the
skin allowing mixed infection to take
place.
The virus used in these experiments
was MulfOrd's glycerine SteriliZad
tubes, which are used by nearly all
physicians in Scranton, In every case
of treatment the parts were first
scrubbed with sterliZed liquid ETHEREAL
soap and rinsed with sterili2ed water
All cotton sponges and gauzes We're
subjected to prolonged high tempera-
ture before using and discarded when
used. Hands were scrubbed and in
struments steriized in each case in
flame of alcohol lamp.
Shields We're nut on for three DAYS
only, during the incubative period, ana
then parts were prepared for surgical
gauZe dressing by sponginG off with
sterilized water. No antiseptic drugs
were used at any period of the cases.
Dressings We're changed once in three
or -four days as rule. In no case thus
treated was there complaint of IA sore
arm or anything to indicate it, such as
redness around the vesicle or discharge.
But where patients were careless and
removed the dressings to look at the
arm, or touched the wound with the
fingers. or allowed garments to come
in contact with it, infection would man
ifest itself very soon by swelling of arm
with redness and pain. But even such
cases We're speedily controlled by the
re-dressngs.
Doctors Coolidge and Peck do not
know of any similar experiments con-
Quoted upon so large a scale, and are
themselves more surprised than the
public can be by the results, as IL is
generally believed by physicians as a
rule that vaccination means pretty
sore arm If one gets good take"
They feel thoroughly satisfied that
pure vaccination will give little trouble,
and that the systemic symptoms will
consist of nothing more than slight
languor for a day or two with a little
soreness of the glands, under the arm,
perhaps, and no local distress or dis
comfort.
The results noticed in the office cases
are more fully emphasized by the fact
that a large series of house vaccina-
tions, where the same care was exer-
cised in the operative procedures, and
where material was left for redress
ings-at the hands of friends-to be APP
piled as in office cases-infection fol-
lowed in nearly 50 per cent. of the cases,
proving that only extraordinary
technique and care all the way along
can produce pure vaccination.

ANNUAL PRESENTATION.
There Will Be a Gala Time at the
Armory, March 7.

On March 7 will occur the annual
presentation of medals and trophies to
the sharpshooters of the Thirteenth
regiment. The presentations will be
made by President Judge Fl. NJ. Ed
wards. Brigadier General j. p. S. Goblin
and staff will attend.
The armory rifle gallery will be for
mally opened on this occasion. General
Goblin will fire the first gun.
Inspector of Rifle Practice Lewis r..
Carter is much gratfied with the show
ing made by the men of the Thirteenth
during the past year. He says the Thir-
teenth leads every regiment in the state
in the matter of craftsmanship. AS
an instance of how far it is in the lead,
he points to the fact that the Thir-
teenth, with only 619 men, has forty
eight sharpshooters while the First
brigade. with it's 1853 men. can count
only forty-three sharpshooters.
