Yet this gifted and fortunate man in
the very prime of life gave up every

Investigations of cancer he himself
became inoculated with the germs,
and, though a gallant fight was made
for him. his life paid the forfeit. The
details of the story are yet fresh in

a newly discovered serum and the

The Battle Against Yellow Fever.
Almost equally we'll known Is the
case of the noble corps Of American
physicians who robbed yellow fever OF
its terrors. 1t was but short time
after the close of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war that the United States gov
eminent undertook to stamp out the
plague that was the scourge of her own
possessions in Porto Rico and Panama,
also of Cuba, for which she felt her
self responsible, as well as of Central
and South America, where her call
was only that of common humanity.
To cope with the disease the war de-
partment sent Dr. Walter Reed, spe-
cialist in yellow fever, who was assist
ed by Dr. James Carroll, DR.. Jesse w.
Lazear and DR.. Aristides Agramonte,
n Cuban, who, having had the fever,
was an Immune. These physicians
worked on the mosquito theory, which
mad just been promulgated by DR.. Car
los Finley of Havana.
To test the matter definitely as to
whether mosquito that had bitten a
yellow fever patient could transmit
the disease it was necessary that hui
man subjects should submit them
lselves to incubation. Following the
splendid scientific code that physicians
should not expose others to dangers
they would not themselves take, the
doctors offered their own bodies as the

can physicians procured mosquitoes
they knew had bitten persons suffering
from the plague and allowed them
selves to be infected. All three were
stricken, but Drs. Reed and Carroll
recovered. DIR. LaZear, who upon the
first exposure did not contract the dis
ease, again exposed himself and died
as Il result of the virulent attack that
followed
AS further experiments We're neces-
sary, volunteers from the army were
called for, and several responded. Just
as they would if the call had been to
face death from bullets instead of
from the equally deadly disease germs.
Nearly all the stricken soldiers recov-
cred, though one afterward developed
spinal affection as n result of the
experiments that made him an invalid

In this notable campaign DR.. Lazear

sistant was stricken, and DR.. Muller
could then have saved himself by
ceasing his studies. He chose rather to
observe the course Of the disease In
order that he might make scientific
record, though knowing full we'll that
to do so would mean almost, inevitably
his own death. He took the chance
and paid the price. Science was the
gamer, and the goal of overcoming one
more enemy Of man was that much
nearer.
When the famous DR.. Koch stated
that cholera is contagious a German
physician. Pettenkofer, combated the
theory and offered to prove his conten-
ton by consuming the germs. At first
he seemed successful, but on a later
experiment demonstrated that Koch
was right and himself wrong and paid
/ the penalty with his life.
Among the most heroic Of the SOL
diers Of truth are those that visit leper
colonies. The name of Father Damien
Devenster, Belgian priest who was
also physician, is high on the roll.
| He not only went into leper colony
and ministered to the unfortunates.
but devoted the remainder of his life
to stirring up the government to care
for the disease, proving that it was
! susceptible to treatment. Both he and
his successor became lepers and finally
! died from the afiliction, but they made
such progress that Father Damien
could say from his deathbed: 1.-THE
cause of the leperS Is now that of hu
mainly. l am no longer needed here"
Another volunteer in behalf of the
| leperS showed n like heroism, but for
tunately did not meet the same tragic
ending, although at one time sores did
appear on his hands, and he thought
himself doomed. They afterward went
away, however, though leaving their
marks. The man is DIR. Eugene III.
Plumacher, American consul to Mara
caibo, Venezuela. He not only photo
graphed many cases and made an eX-
haustiye report In the interests of sci
ence. but experimental with secret
medicine, obtaining favorable results.
In one case that he recounts his well
meant efforts came out diSastrously.
A former president of a certain state
had become Il leper, but was allowed
to remain at his home. DR.. Puma
cher's treatment of this patient was so
successful that it was reported he
would recover. Thereupon his enemies
who had come into power, decided to
deport him to the leper colony. On
hearing this the victim shot himself.
