The germ is secured and culture obtained from it, which is afterward baked to a cer- tain degree, and it is then ready for use, It is used much the same as any anti-toxin and 1t is said to have almost marvellous results. It is used as preventative almost entirely, al- though it is being used in some cases as a curative It is comparatively in- expensive, a 20-day treatment only costing about 8 or $6. Town Agent Beard stated that the town would pro- cure some of it if the doctors wanted it, as it is better to pay s for pre- vention than 1000 for cure. It is probable that where persons have been exposed to the infection this remedy will be used hereafter. In the case of nurses it is said to make them ab- solutely immune.
