DR.. Dixon Scores a Notable Life-Saving
Triumph Among the Poor Of Penn
sylvania = Hopes For Still
Better Record.

The Health Commissioner, Samuel
G. Dixon, couple of months ago an
nounced that use of free antitoxin
among diphtheria victims who were too
poor to pay for the serum had reduced
the death rate to 8.S per cent This
was a splendid result and showed the
great benefits of the State paying for
antitoxin for those who might other
wise not be able to procure it and In
consequence probably die.
Now Health Commissioner Dixon
announces that according to the. rec
ords compiled in his office he finds
that during the four months of Novem-
ber and December, 1905, and January
and February 1906, there has not been
single death from diphtheria where
the free use of antitoxin provided by
the State has been used within "a
hours after the onset of the disease
and in doses recommended in circulars
sent out by the Commissioner.
DR.. Dixon attached great import
ance to this fact, and hopes that the
same results will be secured in far
larger number of cases by physicians
throughout the State using free anti
toxin more promptly.
This prompt use of antitoxin has
been urged by Health Commissioner
Dixon from the start of the free dis
tribution. He has urged 1t in his cor
respondence with fellow-medical men
and the local Boards of Health
throughout the State, and especially in
the circular which is contained in
every package of the States free anti
toxin.
1.-THE early use of antitoxin is es-
sential," says Health Commissioner
Dixon in this circular, and he endeav-
ors to impress it upon the people by
heavily underscoring the words of ad-
vice.
In this circular also Dr. Dixon has
given general directions for the ad-
ministration of antitoxin in both cura-
tive and immunizing doses that have
been found exceedingly helpful to ply
sicians in Pennsylvania Never less
than 5000 units, says DR.. Dixon, should
be used for curative dose; in ad-
vanced cases he says to increase the
initial curative dose from 5000 to 5000
units.
If. improvement is not manifested
dose. give 5000 units, and If no benefit
is to be observed within the following
eight to 12 hours, repeat the same un-

guiltysn the United States court here

Patrlek's Claim to Be Tested.

Four years after date of his convic-
tion of the murder of William Marsh
Rice, the Texas millionaire, Albert T.
Patrick's plea that an actual test be
made to prove or disprove his conten-
tion that embalming fluid and not
chloroform was the cause of the con-
dition of Rice's body was granted last
week.
1t was the office of District Attorney
Jerome and not the defense of Pat
rick. however, which has undertaken
the investigation which Patrick has
earnestly requested.
Several times during the years In
which Patrick has fought his case with
legal moves directed from the death
chamber in the Sing Sing prison, the
convicted man has begged of con-
demned prisoners to allow his counsel
to experiment on their bodies after
death in order to disprove that Rice
died from the application of chloro-
form, as Valet Jones testified, and to
prove Patrick's allegation that Rice
died of general debility.
1t was Patricks contention that the
embalming fluid administered after
Rice's death produced, and would pro-
duce in another case, conditions such
as physicians who testified in the case
ascribed to chloroform poisoning.
Despite his efforts, however, the
condemned man has been unable to
bring about the experiments.
1t was announced from District At
torney Jerome's Office that the expert
ments to test Patricks theory were be-
gun Thursday under the direction of
that office. Two persons whose bodies
are to be used either in giving Pat
rick his liberty or defeating his efforts
to secure new trial are patients who
died in the Metropolitan hospital a
few days ago and the disposition of
whose bodies was under the control
of DR.. Louis Schultz of the charities
department of the city, who assigned
them to that use.
The fight to save the life of Albert T.
Patrick, under sentence of death for
the murder of the aged Texas million
aire, William NJ. Rice, was re-
sumed in New York on Tuesday before
Recorder Goff on the motion for new
trial.
Interesting testimony was given by
a number of pathologists as to the
similarity In the effects on human
lungs of chloroform and embalming
fluid. The new witnesses from Texas
are expected.

Double Tragedy In Bliss Stables.

In New York Friday David Bur-

the banker and treasurer of the Repub-

Thomas Hegerty, his assistant and
groom to Mr.. Bliss, by shooting him
twice. Burhans then turned the pistol
upon himself and ended his own life.
Hegerty died soon after being re-
moved TO a hospital.
The shooting occurred in Mr.. Bliss
private stables in East Thirty-ninth
street 1t was witnessed only by the
19-year-old son of Burhans, who was
too frightened to interfere. The two
men had been fast friends and the po-
lice have been unable to assign
cause for the crime, other than the
fact that possibly Burhans feared
Hegerty might eventually supplant
him as eoachman. Burhans had been
employed by Mr.. Bliss for IL years.
He was a native of Kingston, N. Y.
Both men had large families.
