POINT OUT DANGER
 IN THE NEW DRUG
Medical Journal Says 1906" Should Be Administered With Great
 est Care

Chicago, February 11.-(Special)-T
 new remedy for ''blood poison," known
 as salvarsan or 'B06' which was dscov-
 cred by Professor Ehrlich of Germany,
 is not devoid of danger, according to The Journal of the American Medical Association, which this week publishes an article and editorial, warning the public of the dangers of careless using of this new drug. While some striking results have been secured and while the drug
 seems to be an improvement on any pre- viously known treatment of ''blood dis ease" 1t Is probable that it will not justify the enthusiastic statements first made re- garding 1t. It has been claimed that one dose of this remedy would produce won- derful results and would cure diseases heretofore regarded as inourable. Tho Journal says, Tt must not be forgotten that salvarsan is preparation of arsenic and must be used with great caution, as it may be followed by serious results. For instance, it may have a disastrous effect on the eyes It has also been found that its therapeutic value is more limited than w; at first supposed. It has no beneficial effect on locomotor ataxia or on general paralysis of the insane, or softening of the brain, as it Is popularly called, al- though most enthusiastic claims for the cure of these troubles were at first made The intense public interest in this new remedy. which has only been equaled by

For the first time this season the plucky High school basketball team went down in defeat before the Louisi- ana State five at the Athletic club gmy- nasium to the tune of 23 to 22.
 In spite of the close score the game was listless and the local players fail- ed to show their usual snap and vim. For some reason the High school was unable to get its passes working eff fectively and in addition the, goal shooting was inaccurate. which was largely responsible for the defeat
 The size and weight of the Louisiana boys appeared to be too much for the locals to master. Goldstein played in Searights place and played well, throwing four ringers from the field during the first half. At the close of this period the High school led 16 to II. Beginning with the second half the heavier L. s. U. guarded the High school players so closely that they were un- able to get a chance at the goal with the result that the final score showed the High school trailing.

 that aroused by Koch's tubercultn U years ago, has stimulated the cupidity of quacks and charlatans. who are ad- vertising this remedy to the public and making the most extravagant and un- warranted claims for it. The Journal says. ''The truth about this remedy should be spread broadcast by physicians, by medical journals and by the press, so that the public may not be imposed on. The public should know that this prep aration contains a very large per cent of arsenic, most potent, poisonous ana injurious drug. It should also know that it has not yet been proved that salvarsan cures blood poison in one dose or even in a number of doses; that 1t cannot pS used by patients themselves but must be given either hypodermically or intra- venuously (directly into the vein) ana that the patient should remain in hos pital for number of days after Its ad- ministraton; that it requires expert knowledge and experience both to pre- pare and give it; that if not property given it might cause destruction or sloughing of the tissues at the site of the injection: that 1t may cause blindness and, in some cases, may injure tho heart and kidneys and may cause death The indiscriminate use of this drug by tho public can only result in disappointment as well as loss of money and danger of serious injury or death''

 M. H. Hurley, who formerly owned a string of horses whAh he has sold, urges the formation of league in this state to offset racing legislation. Spea>,ng on tha subject few days ago he said:
 The race tracks are under the gun at all times. Whenever anybody desires to attract attention there is nothing easier than to ma1ign racing.
 Little has been heard in defense or ex- planation. The policy of horse owners seems to be that Of silence. and 1t is as- suned by many honest folk that these reckless assertions are true. as they are permitted to go unAlallenged.
 There are $6,000,oC0 invested in race tracks in this state, b say nothing of the millions represented in horse breeding. Il is not necessary here to set forth that racing does not imply gambling. but mis- representation has been so violent and endured so long tha'. to any one but men acquainted with the situation much argu- ment will be necessary to establish thlf fact.
 Legislators seeking to gain popularity and others equally selfish. have pushed through the legislature measures which if sustained by the cour1s, will effect
