son Findlay, for some years editor of
the Dover Chronicle, as having hap
pened to him personally. He had oc-
casion to write of the blind guides

camel" which appeared in print as

one Of the reviews, In which Sir Henry

CURE FOR MENINGITIS.I
French Surgeons Make a Discovery
Which May Wipe Out Dread
Disease

New York, April ia new method
of treatment for cerebro spinal menin-
gifts employed at the Hospital Beaujon,
III Paris, is described by the Herald cor
respondent in this city. Up to the pres
ent time this treatment appears, the dis
patch says, TO have given more salts
factory results than any other.
1t consists of injections Of metallic
ferments, i solution of one in 10000"
Every day twenty cubic centimeters are
injected into the muscular tissue of the
hip or abdomen. In eases presenting
very serious symptoms good results were
obtained from intravenOus injections of
n solution containing one ml1iigramme of
the metallic ferment per cubic cent?
meter Silver and manganese are the
metallic ferments which seem to give
the most successful results. This medi-
cation is said to be free from disad-
yantageS.
After few injections the record Of
the patients temperature shows a gen
eral lowering. Each injection is followed
in its turn by a decrease which brings
the temperature below the initial figure.

Diplomatic means have been found to
