SERUM FOR PHTHISIs.
Antitoxin Treatment for Tuberculosis
Does Not Lower Death Rate.

If the number of alleged cures for

in proving the intractability of the dis

point where hope deferred maketh the
heart sick" Scarcely a day passes that

trend of experimental research is in the
direction of serum treatment. The num-

the game goes on the average death rate
remains virtually the same.
A certain proportion OF cases of con
SUMPTION are destined to recover in
any event and the result is naturally
attributed to the particular medication
on trial Hence every new method has
its ratio of successes and each new in
vestigator is duly sanguine as to the
value of his discovery. Thus, While
duly lauding the motives of the labora-
tory men we are forced to accept their
conclusions with judicious suspicion.
The latest report of a new serum
comes from Newark, N. J., and has the
merit of an Endorsement of the health
board of that city. We are assured that
it's trial in a number of cases has
passed the experimental stage, and that
council is necessary to place the new
agent within the reach of all who may
have the requisite faith in its efficacy.
We would fain hope that the long
sought cure has been found at last. In
view. however, of previous experiences
along similar lines there is enough of
legitimate doubt in the outcome to war
rant due caution in making extravagant
promises. Great harm Is sure to come
to such sufferers as may have their ex-

over and over again with every cure

great majority of medical practitioners
1t is safe TO say that the consensus

to confound all previous researches for
an antitoxin serum for tuberculosis the
treatment of the disease is still where it
has been for the last twenty years.
Fortunately, by what can now be
called the more rational management of
the malady. most excellent results are
within reach. The aim now is not to-
ward destroying the microbe so much
as in making the patient strong enough
to throw off the enemy The mere neu-

Importance as the rendering of the soil

against reinfection and no known i'm

1t will hence be seen that the injection
of an antitoxin would be merely tenn

most that can be said for any serum by
itself with the possible claim of its
modifying the action of the poison while
the latter is at work Even on such an
assumption it would be extremely diff
