SCIENTIST SURE HE HAS FOUND GERM OF PAREsIS
Line Which Demonstrated Existence Dphla


MaSsillon, Ohio.-In the laboratory
of the Massillon State Hospital DR..
John D. O'Brien reiterated a state
ment recently made by him before
the American Medico-Psycholog
Associations Convention at Cincin-
natl that he had discovered the germ
of paresis, and that the disease is
durable. He summed up the result
of his experiments in these two dec
larations:. That paresis undoubtedly
is a germ disease and that the germ
has been discovered; that, while in
the experimental stage, sufficient tests
have been made to show that paresis
is durable, and that he has specific
cases to point to as definite results.
DR.. O'Brien does not believe it
would be proper to make public the
names of the patients whom he as
serts the treatment has cured, but
he gives the specific cases as a news
paper man of Washington, D. c., who
was treated for paresis and is again
at work, cured a civil engineer of
prominence in Nashville, Tenn, who
is cured and at work, besides a num-
Der of people in Ohio who were
brought to the hospital with acute
forms of the disease and cured. 9th
ers who are now at the hospital still
under treatment are showing marked
progress toward recovery.
DR.. O'Brien has at hand, in addi-
ton to his own statements and re-
ports from hospital authorities in re-
gard to the successful treatment of
paresis, patients photographs which

DISASTROUS WRECK IN BELGIUM
From 40 to 60 Killed and More Than
100 Hurt in Crash Near Antwerp.

Antwerp. - The locomotive of an
express train bound for Antwerp
jumped the track at Contrich, six
miles out of the city, at o'clock a.
M, and crashed into a train on a sid
ing which was crowded with excur-
sionists. From forty to sixty persons
were killed and more than 100 in
jured.
The train that was run into had
been side-tracked at Contich to allow
the express to pass. The switchman
either forgot to replace the switch or
the switch did not act. Hence the
express ran into the rear end of the
other train, which was unusually full
of workmen, soldiers and party of
pilgrims bounds for a shrine at
Liepse, near Lierre.
Some of the killed were horribly
mutilated. The heads of three de-
capitated soldiers were pressed so
deep into the earth that it was neces-
sary to dig them out with spades The
bodies of some little white frocked
pilgrim girls were found covered with
blood and blackened with coal dust.
Several of the injured have since
died.
Little remains of the train that
was run into except bent metal and
splintered wood, strewn with frag-
ments of clothing.

The Executive Committee of the

81 know" said DR.. O'Brien, that
it is bold statement to make that
the germ of paresis has been discov-
cred. Many scoffed when the germ
theory of diphtheria and tuberculosis
was advocated We feel warranted,
from the number of cases treated and
from the satisfactory results of the
experiments made, in stating without
qualification that paresis is a germ
disease. We also feel that, from the
work done, we have found the bacil-
lus. We have cured patients, are
helping many now and expect to go
forward with the work.
DR.. O'Brien has confined his work
to living subjects; no pathological in
vestigation has been done on post
norton subjects. He now has germs
in cultures. He says that, like a
farmer, he is seeking to find the best
culture in which to grow bacilli from
serum extracted from patients, and
to that end is doing considerable ex-
perimenting.
DR.. O'Brien began his experiments
by taking serum from the spinal col
umns of living patients. With this
he treated dogs, rabbits and rats, with
results which proved to him that the
animals inoculated contracted we'll

The Carnegies started their TWEEN
