TYPHOID TO BE MADE
HARMLESS.
Morning Examiner.l J


An experiment is being conducted
at the army post near Omaha which
promises TO reduce typhoid fever tc
n disease not TO be dreaded. Eight
soldiers have been vaccinated with
typhoid fever germs, 500 million
germs having been injected into the
left arm of each man. The soldiers
have been sick with premonltory
symptoms OF typhoid, but the inocula
ton is expected to cause no greater
disturbance than does cowpox in max.
ing patient a smallpox immune.
When the men have recovered. as
they should in a day or two, they will
voluntarily submit to the drinking of
typhoid-iadened water, and then will
come the supreme test as TO the
efficacy of the treatment.
AS has been predicted. the future OF
the medical profession will be along
these lines of preventive treatment
and the fighting of disease by serums.

one OF the most famous international
cases.
On Feb. 20. 1908. the quiet little
town of Newington, N. H.. was sur
priSed and startled by the declaration
OF Mrs. Paul e. Roy. better known by
her stage name Of Glacia Gala. made
to Sheriff Marcus NJ Collins. that her
brother, George Carl1lns, did not com.
NIT suicide. as was generally sup.
posed, but was shot IN a pistol duel
by her husband on Jan. 2. 1908.
Shortly afterwards. by an order of
the court, the body of Carkins was
exhumed and bullet wounds we're
found in the back. Roy, who fled to
Paris, was indicted for murder by the
grand jury of Rockingham county and
steps were taken to bring him to
America, but as there was no extra
dition treaty available between
France and this country the only
course open was TO try Roy in the
courts Of his native land.
The New Hampshire authorities de.
cided 1t TO be impracticable to try
the case in France and the matter
was dropped but the Indictment still
holds should Roy ever return to this
country.
While this move on the part Of the
authorities practically put an end to
the case in America, it added anoth- |
er chapter to the eventful life OF a !
woman now nearly 40 years old. who |

arrest charged with blackmail, prior

which stirred much interest both In
