THE WONDERS OF
 MODERN MEDICINE

Dr. M. Allen Starr in Harper's magazine for July.
 Just as quinine acts to counteract ma- laria, so the antitoxins counteract the symptoms of the various diseases in which they are used. If used early in the disease, they are most efflcacious, and even if used late they are of service.
 This is proved by the fact that in 1893, before the antitoxin of diphthera was used, there were GAGS cases in New York ! hospitals, of which 1862 were fatal-i. e., S& per cent; while in 1906 there were 744i cases and only 731 deaths-i G., g -.r cent. In London in 1894 there were 3666 cases. of which 1035 were fatal; while in 1901 there were 1922 cases, of which only S49 were fatal. In America, among 5578 pri- vate cases not in the hospitals, in 1896. only A91 were fatal. Taking the cases the world over, it may be stated that the mortality in diphtheria has been reduced from B to per cent.
 Another application of these facts has been made in the discovery of the use of 7ntitoXin in cerebro-spinal meningitis b. Fiexner in the Rockefeller institute in this city in 1907-a discovery as important and
 
 The organism causing cerebro-spinal 1 meningitis IS not found in the blood, but siows and fourishes in the oily fluid | which lies about the nervous system and | protects 1t from injury against the bones | II can be separated from this fluid and can be transferred from man to monkeys or horses, which animals are susceptible 10 the disease. In their blood the antI- ,, toxin Is formed as the disease goes on. From that blood. by various careful, piethods, 1t can be secured. Wassermann !r Kochs laboratory in Berlin had pre- pared an antitoxin but 1t had failed when injected into the blood. F1eXner, however. injected 1t into the cavity of the spine, thus reaching the oily fluid which lies about the brain and spinal cord and in which the organisms are growing, thus killing them there. It Is necessary to puncture the spine with hollow needle, to draw away some. of the oily fluid and to throw into the spine the antitoxin through the needle and leave it there to do it's work. The earlier 1t Is done In .he disease, the better the result. The ef- feet Is seen both In a cessation of the fever and in return to consciousness and i relief of paralysis. And this effect Is Immediate, so that one who yesterday was lying an unconscious, contracted, inert body today may be clear of mind and comfortable.
 There are few diseases more dreaded by the doctors than cerebro-spiDali meningitis or spotted fever. There was no means of treatment known last year, when SIP per
 sons died in New York from it. The nor tality Tn the epidemic was 79 per cent. Under the new antitoxin treatment the mortality is reduced to 29 per cent, and will be much more reduced when the methods of application are more fully perfected.
 It may not be generally known here that by inoculation the English troops in India have been largely prevented from contracting typhoid fever during the past two years, and thus this disease. which had long been a terror to medical men in .ae tropics among masses or soldiers. Is TO longer dreaded.

BILL MAKES TESTS
 WITH GREEK FIRE

Berlin, June 2,--The war office Is ex- perimenting with Greek fire, the secret of which a Berlin engineer claims to have rediscovered. It is to be used on large scale in pyrotechnic display in the neigh borhood of the Kaisers river yacht Ar senal on Wann lake, The engineer says that by his method a large ocean space, several miles in area, can be set afire in order to accomplish the destruction of the enemy's fleet. The fire can neither be quenched by water nor chemicals,
 Remembering that a species of Greek fire was used at the siege of Charleston in 1863, the Kaiser sent for the records in Washington. The Greek fire used in the United States was composed, 1t is thought here, of sulphur, hitter and lampblack The Greek fire of the ancients is supposed to have contained, besides the articles named, naphtha, pounded rosin. bitumen and "other ingredients" These latter heretofore a mystery, the Berlin engineer claims to know.
 The mixture can be projected out of tubes to the distance covered by modern gunnery.

.CHRISTENBERRYS KEEP ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATE THEIR 18TH YEAR OF MARRIED LAMENTATIONS WILL WORSHIP IN NEW CHURCH ToDAY-FINDS GOLD MEDAL

Greensboro, June 20.-(SpeciaL)- LA brilliant occasion in the social world of Greensboro is the reception at which Prof. and Mrs. D. P. Christenberry en- tertained this evening to celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary. Mrs. Chris- tenberry's two sisters, Mrs. Greer of Macon and Mrs. O. M. Otis of Mobiles were numbered among the party. Tn cir home was ablaze with lights and ex- quistely decorated especially for the event Hundreds of boys over the state who have been under Prof. Chris tenberry's able teaching at the South- ern university will wait congratula- tions when they hear of the happy event
 Services will be held tomorrow in the new Methodist church for the first time since It's completion. For a year now that congregation has worshiped in the opera house, generously rendered them by J. A. Blunt.
 While putting down fertilizer in a field on his Herran place near Greens boro yesterday J. J. Christian found 2 gold medal which had evidently been lost years ago. The place where 1t was found had not been ploughed up until this year for perhaps 25 years or more. The medal was in the shape of an eagle seated inside of a star and had engraved one side the Latin words Lex, Libertas Salusque Gentis," and on the reverse side the name of C. Wheelan. The medal in all probability belonged to one of the Wheelan family who lived here years ago. MT. Christi ian presented the medal to c. Y. Stol- lenwreck, who is a grandson of Dr. C. Wheelan, ST., and a nephew of Dr. c. Wheelan, Jr. It is very much prized by him as he is sure that it must have belonged to some of his people
