Today the state board of railroad

These report blanks are in the form
of books, bound in pasteboard covers,
and embody a vast number of matters
upon which the state authorities need
information. But it is not as compre-
hensive as the state OF Kansas requires.
and for that reason, the secretary of
the board, E. c. Sinner, prepared some
supplemental blanks to be sent out with
the reports.

and the average amount of tonnage

WILL CURE HYDRoPHoBIA.
A New Antitoxin known as '.Rabic
Antitoxin''

new antitoxin, which, according to
the officials of the Pasteur institute. Of
this city, will be known as the "rabic
antftox1n," has just been perfected. 1t is
said it will cure hydrophobia in its first
and second stages. The new serum was
discovered by the surgeons of the Pas
teur institute. in Paris, after many years
of experimenting.
Because of the newness of the dfscov-
cry the serum has not yet been used in
this country, but a large quantity of Ii
is on the way from Paris for the Pas
teur institute, in West Twenty third
street. DIR. George G. Rambaud, presi-
dent of the Pasteur institute, sailed for
Paris a week ago, when he was told of
the discovery. He went to become ia
miliar with the use of the new prepara-
ton.
According to DR.. Wheeler, who is act
ing director during DR.. Rambaud's alb
sence, the serum will be administered by
the same method as the tetanus or diph-
iberia antitoxins, which are injected
hypodermically.
1T is a wonderful discovery" said the
physician yesterday, land it will take
only one-half the time to cure person
in the first stages. Heretofore it was
many days before we could pronounce
a patient entirely well.
For many years medical men have
been trying to solve the problem of OBJ
tanning a direct cure for hydrophobia.
Several attempts nave been made.
Surgeons have experimental on animals
such as the calf and rabbit, to get the
serum, but with no success This new
serum comes from the sheep. The first
attempt was not very successful, but
further experiments soon proved that
the right kind of antitoxin could be OBJ
tanned from this animal.
From what have learned of the ex-
pertinent by the professors at the in
stitute in. Paris, they first inoculated
sheep with antirabic virus. When the
animal is thoroughly affected with the
virus the blood is taken from it.
Through a chemical process the serum
is then made

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-07-26

none of the medical journals had COM
mentedi omit. This was easily explained
by DR.. Wheeler who said that it has
not yet been given out officially to the
medical fraternity. DR.. Poor said he
had been told that the new antitoxin
had been used on several persons in
Paris suffering from the first and second
stages of the disease, and the treatment
had proved successful. The health de-
partment had communicated with the
officials of the Paris institute, he said.
DR.. Wheeler said that the new remedy
was the fourth serum, which is used for
four distinct dangerous diseases. Tho
other three, which are also practically
new, are the tetanus, sterptococus, and
diphtheria serums.
I'VE can with this new serum cure
cases in the second stage of the disease"
said the physician. Heretofore 1t has
never been known that a persons life
had been saved after the disease had
developed in its second stage."-New
