The case was put in the hands OF DR..
Joe Graham, who has made study of
the disease since it's appearance in

first to suggest that the disease was
blood affection. In this case his theory
was subs.antjated by the fact that the
treatment was the injection of some
remedy into the blood. Mrs. Boxleys
