New York. Jan 1.-THE young woman
who gave birth to a child several days ago
and was taken to the Hahnemann Hospital
last night at the point Of death, where the
Barrows method OF injection Of formalin
was resorted TO. is so much improved to-
day that the local physicians are enthusiast

and say that, while more experimentation
is needed to suhstantiate the permanent
value Of the new cure for sepsis. they re-
gard what has already been accomplished
as one Of the most remarkable additions to
medical science IN a generation.
The patient was quite comfortable this
morning. and at IL o'clock Doctor Roy Up
ham. the resident surgeon, stated that her
condition was entirely satisfactory and that
temperature at hat hou was s3.2, only
slightly above normal, and the pulse was
100. :
Doctor Upham made an examination Of
the patients blood this morning and found
the bacteria greatly diminished. He said:

When the woman was admitted to the
hospital last night her case was regarded
as hopeless. as an. examination OF her blood
disclosed the presence of streptocci, the
bacteria OF blood poisoning.
