serum administered in the same
manner, the girl completely recov-
cred.
Another patient in the same
place was a child, aged years,
and another a railroad man OF pow
erful physique, aged %. The latter
had come to the village hotel the
night before apparently in good
health and was found writhing un-
consciously in the grip of the dis
ease the following morning. In
four weeks he was back to work,
three doses of the serum having
restored him to consciousness. The
child was also saved.
ESTABLISHED SUCCESS.
The serum was shortly afterward
tried at Akron, O., and only three
out of II cases of spinal meningitis
treated with the serum succumbed,
while outside the hospital where
the serum was used, eight out of
nine victims of the disease died.
Later in the same year, 1907, an
epidemic of the disease started in
the San Joaquin valley of Califor-
mia. Eleven out of IL cases in
which the serum was not used,
died, but five out of six cases in
which it was used lived and the
doctors declared their belief that
had their supply of serum not been
exhausted they could have saved
them all.
In Boston a little later it was
used with the result that out of 81
cases in which Flexner's serum was
administered, "A recovered and but
II died. In Belfast, Ireland, % out
of 30 cases were cured with the
serum, while 20 cases out of 81 in

pigs and several other animals
were inoculated with the germs of
spinal meningitis in carrying out
his experiments but he found that
the serum from a horse was about
the only kind that could be used to
practical advantage.
DRUGS UNSUCCESSFUL.
His theory was then that drugs
could not. be used to successfully
combat the disease and that
science must depend upon the nat
ural defences and the potential
combative agencies which are no
other than the white corpusles of
the blood-the vigilant defenders
of the body against dangerous
germs. This is no longer a theory.
1t has been proved a fact in the
successful treatment of the disease
by Dr.. Flexner's discoveries.
1t required nine months of work
with healthy horse to get it in a
condition that made its blood ready
for use in making the first serum
to be used in combating the dis
ease in animals and in the expert
ments that ensued with animals
the serum proved successful. Mon
keys inoculated with the disease
and not treated with the serum sue
cumbed within a few hours; those
to which the serum was admins
tered recovered.
THE FIRST TRIAL.
BY this time the epidemic had
run its course in New York but
suddenly another epidemic sprang
up in Castalia, o., and with small
quantity of Flexner's serum, DR..
Louis w. Ladd of Cleveland, O.,
fastened to the village to try it for
the first time on human beings.
Children-three out of every four
were dying of the disease when he
arrived. A girl of 6 years, who
was suffering in the last stages of
spinal meningitis, with pulse rat
Ting along at the rate Of 100 a
minute and her temperature up to
1903, was his first patient.
She was placed in a sitting post
ure. Part of the purulent spinal
fluid was withdrawn from between
two of the lower vertebrae and a
small dose of the serum was in
jected in its place. The foot of
the bed was then raised so that the
serum might run down the patients
spinal column. After three injec.
tons her mind cleared and the re-
traction of the head and rigidity OF
the muscles, which comes as a pc.

and most painful stages, began to

The Elk Point M. D. A. LedEs wins Prizes
Last fall the grand lodge N. B. A..
offered eight cash prizes OF $25 each TO
the subordinate lodge In each Of eight
classes arranged according to member
ship, that showed the greatest gain In
membership In the three closing
months Of last year. The Elk Point
lodge has been rustling for members,
but was not viking with these prizes
particularly In view, as Is shown by
the fact that there we're FIVE or six
more applications that might have
been brought IN y we'll a. not. Not
withstanding this, our lodge hsre has
received notice that the s25 for the
fifth class-for lodges having from leo
TO $50 men bers-has been assigned to
Elk Point.
On the 1st Of October the Elk Poin,
lodge had los members. In three
months 1t gained q and lost none. A
lodge In Portland, Ore, In the same
class, gained the same number but lost
six. thus giving the prize to Elk Point
There were one or Two other pretty.

In addition to this cash prize the
lodge receives a certificate Of merit be
cause their increase in membership IL
over 20 per cent, and the secretary,
DR.. A. B. Halves, receives . silver
medal. This 10 10 recognition OF the
fact that the secretary Is usually active
and influential In the matter OF secur-
ing new members. DR.. Halves and the
local lodge are certainly TO be heartily
congratulated on this recognition, and
the beneficial effects OF this new mem
bership win undoubtedly be seen In a
still further increase aud In Ia greater
interest and activity in all lodge mat
