SpinaI Meningitis Curable

Let US take one OF the best known
examples OF the Rockefeller Institutes
work. DR.. Flexner's investigation of
epidemic spinal meningitis, and his
discovery OF an anti-serum for it's
cure" writes Walter Prichard Eaton
in Munsey's for October. THAT dis
covery alone has already saved, as the
figures show, hundreds OF human lives.
and will go on saving thousands more.
1t was the result of long, patient,
careful experiment with animals,
chiefly monkeys. in the laboratory.
Perhaps 200 animals were sacri-
feed in all. Without such sacrifice
the discovery could not have been
made. Unless you consider, then, a
monkeys life as valuable as that of
your son or daughter, it is hard to see
how you can argue against vivisection
and animal experimentation.
THE mortality was as high as eigh-
ty per cent. before DR.. Flexner's dis
covery. 1t was truly a deadly malady,
and still remains so unless diagnosis
is prompt and the antiserum injec-
ton made early"

QuIxoTIc REFORMS

1t would seem that the legislators of
a great state, who meet in session for
two months but once in as many years,
might occupy their time to better ad-
vantage than in attempting to regu-
late the personal habits Of their con
stituents.
In the senate q bill has been passed
prohibiting the sale or giving away of
cigarettes or papers used in their max
ing. The proposed law is a piece Of
folly. 1t has been tried in other states
and has proved practically a dead let
ter. In addition it breeds contempt of
the law.
There are a great many reforms that
are needed in the state of Nevada, and
should the people who interest them
selves in those matters confne their
activities to securing legislation of
merit, they would no doubt meet with
better success.
