tonight that an antitoxin for these three dis
eases had been perfected. and that the labora-

the serum.
In addition, while DR.. Leary will not discuss

Leary says that IL may be years before 1t will

into practical use the theories advanced by Sir
A. E. Wright, that dead germs automatically
germs of the same kind In other words, dead
germs IN the blood form poison that is fatal to
all living germs of the kind with which
IL comes in contact
Following out this theory, the Tufts pathoIo-
gists have proved that 1t is possible to inject
into the blood dead germs, and that after the
inoculation they will form this antitoxin, fatal
to all living germs of the same kind. Working
on this it was only a question of isolating the
particular germs. and they by experimentation
settled the proper method of incubation the
