THE CONQUEST OF MENINGITIS


Now that the pitiful story Of men,
nights is ended-for the curative eff
cheney Of the Flexner serum Is sci
entifically established, and it has
taken it's place alongside vaccine and
diphtheria anti-toxin-it is pleasant
to recall that the scourge barely out
lived a century. The first epidemic
that we know of broke out in Switz-
erland in 1905, and exactly one hun
dred years later DR.. Simon Flexner
was officially investigating an cpl
demic in New York city, and laying
out a campaign for the methodical
and scientific conquest of spotted
fever"
There are no disheartening pages
in the closing chapter of the story OF
meningitis. In September, 1908, Dr.,
Flexner was able to announce that
436 cases Of meningitis had been
treated with the serum in various
parts Of the world. OF this number
AZ cases were properly eliminated
from analysis, for one reason or an
other. OF the remaining 1913 cases
lin all of which ARCHAEOLOGICAL ey.
animation of fluid drawn from the
spinal canal had demonstrated the
presence Of the diplococcus) 295 han
recovered and 9S had died. The rer.
centage of recoveries was, therefore
IS and the mortality was % per cent
Perhaps the most striking result
was shown in the case of babies
Epidemic meningitis has been uni
formly fatal to infants under the age
of one year. The author of IA
nous textbook on the diseases of chr
dren (Dr. Holt reports that, of the
twenty cases under one year treated
in his hospital wards, not one recov
cred. But in the series of 1893 case;
treated with the Flexner serum
twenty-five were infants under one
year Of age, and half of them recov
cred.
The investigations cost a ver'
} large amount of money and the los
of some animal life-about twenty
five monkeys and hundred guine
J pigs. The eventual saving of humaI
; life is incalculable. incidentally, tn
outcome will probably act as a chez

out of the unintelligent sentimental

STOCK MARKET
CLOSES STRONG
BY Associated Press.

New York, Oct. 2S.-There was little
trace of the excitement Of yesterday in
the stock market at the opening today.
The rise in prices in London and Chair
man Gary's statement in regard to the
governments dissolution suit aga inst the
United States Steel Corparotion resulted
in a buying movement in the steel stocks.
The common stock opened with a block
Of 1900 shares at 81 rs to So IA. and
on active buying advanced quickly TO
80 rs, a gain Of ga from yesterdays
close. The preferred stock opened IL
higher on a scale OF one thousand shares.
It's gain was soon increased to one point
The general market was Irregular with an
upward tendency among the more active
issues Union Pacific, Reading, Canadian
Pacific and Amalgamated Copper all made
substantial fractional advances. Atchison
and Lehigh Valley showed some heayi-
ness.
When advances reached a point in the
Hartman stocks large settings were dis
tributed in United States Steel and the
market reacted sharply. Later bidding
up Of Canadian Pacific to 233, rise Of 2
points, had steadying effect on railroad
stocks, but United States Steel continued
10 weaken and sold down 10 81 rs.
The market closed strong. A brisk In
quiry followed and transactions in stocks
created a better demand for various in
dustrials and prices improved sharply.
United States Steel mounted TO the best
again and there were substantial gains
in a few of the copper and mineral stocks
Both the Hartman and Hill stocks re-
sponded substantially to moderate pur-
chases and the whole list seemed to feel
the impulse of confident buying.
With speculation proceeding in normal
fashion and alarm over yesterdays dis
play in United States Steel vanishing
room shorts began to show unessiness
and covered freely before the close, fore
ing up prices Of many stocks between one
and points.
The market closed strong with steel
stocks up SIS OF a point over last night.
