NEARLY DEAD; CURED BY
NEW LOCKJAW TREATMENT
Antitoxin Given to Woman IN
Large Doses and Injected
Into the Veins.
HEALTH BOARD TRIUMPH
Patient, Sixty five Years Old
Makes Remarkable Recov-
cry, Physicians Follow
ing DR.. Parks Plan.

Taken TO Har Mor1ah Hospital two
weeks ago. apparently dying from LOCK-
Jaw. Mrs Ray SpirC. Of No. % East
18th street. will leave the institution
Tomorrow a we'll woman.
Mrs Spiro, who is sixty-fve years Old
vas attended b. DR. Leo Steiglltz ana
Or. s. A. Blauner. while the injection OF
tetanus antitoxin was supervised by Dr.
Nicoll. Of the Department of Health re-
search laboratories.
Because of her age the wOmans re-
coverv is considered most unusual. But
there are other reasons WHY the sue
cessful termination Of her illness has
caused much comment. one OF these Is
that the tetanus antitOXin was admin
istered in large doses and was not II
iected into the tissues, but into the
veins.
II was learned that such a course was
being advocated 10y DR.. William Park,
head of the research laboratories of the
Department of Health. 1t is com
laratively new treatment in this couh-
try. Mrs Spiro received in all i',"'"
units of the tctanus antitoXin.
Two weeks ago the woman stepped Oh
q rusty nail. Home remedies were APP
piled and the wound soon healed. But
about a week ago she was seized with
commissions and her jaws became locked
She began to lose her sight at the same
time.
She was removed to the Har Moriah
HOSPITAL by her son, and the physicians
regarded her case as hopeless especially
because Of her age. Water had TO De
given to her drop by drop through
tube.
The first injection Of the antitoXin was
10000 units. and il was administered
daily until the total amount was iJ.oc.
The patient began TO show improve
mept under the treatment and soon re-
covered
At the hospital it was said YESTERDAY
that she would have been able to go
home then. only it was thought best 10
keep her quiet another day OF two.
The hospital superintendent, abraham
NJ. Spector. said it was one OF the most
remarkable cases ever treated IN thi
hospital. as little or no hope had beel'
held out for Mrs Spiro's recovery when
she arrived there.
At the research laboratories ii was
said that DR.. Park had ordered the CIV
ing Of large doses. injected INTO the
veins. in tetanus cases.

MONEY IN SUGAR FOR ALL
Man Convicted for Frauds Tells
of Formation of First Trust.

Ernest ". Gerhracht former superin-
tendent Of the IIayomeyers e. Elder re
finery III Brooklyn. was called as a wit
ness Yesterday i'm the dissolution suit
against the American Sugar Refining
Company and its subsidiaries before Will
son Il. Brice as examiner Mr. Gerbracht
Vas sentenced 10 two years imprison-
ment and the payment Of q fine Of s.. 600
for the frauds in underweighing imported
sugar but his sentence has been stayed
pending decision by the Supreme Court
of the case of Charles Il TIcike, the for
mcr secretary of the sugar company.
The government called Mr. Gcrbracht
as one of the men most familiar with the
affairs of the American Sugar Refining
Company. his association with the com
pany dating back to 1872 He Described
the condition of tn" sugar industry in
Brooklyn I'm 1850 when the capacity OF
the Havemeyer refinery was about .OOO.-
600 pounds a day. In that year. he said.
there were numerous companies in Brook
lyn engaged in active competition with
the IIavemeyer company. and all were
able to make money The first agreement
between those rohnerirs as 10 output and
prices was entered into at the end of 1856.
Mr. Gerbracht SAID. and he heard of II
from a director Of the company
ON further questions by Goldthwaitc II.
Dorr, Assistant United States Attorney,
the government brought out from Mr.
Gerbracht that I'm 1887, just prior To the
formation Of the first sugar trust, the
Havemeyer refin.ries were making large
profits, and the independents taken into
the trust were making money too. In it's
answer to tho governments petition the
American Sugar Refining Company de-
clared that the trust was formed because
price cutting had put many of the indie
pendents Oh the verge of bankruptcy and
only the creation Of the trust kept them
from going down financially.
w J. Willett. the expert sugar Stats-
tician. was again on the stand in the
morning. Through him the government
showed that the sugar consumption of the
country grew more than 30 per cent in
the last three decades. The evidence was
introduced To support the government s
contention that with growth of the in
dustry TO such an extent there had been
plenty Of room for Independent capital IL
the trust had not tried to keep II out
