injections of the poison of the diphtheria
germ? According to 1hrlich's conception
of the production of the diphtheria anti
toxin, there has taken place within the
body of the horse the manufacture or
diphtheria antitoxin and it will be found
in the blood serum of the horse. When a
small amount of diphtherla toxin or
poison is injected into the horse the re-
suit is the stimulation of certain cells OF
the body to produce what is known as
antibodies. in this case antitoXin. These
bodies are at first attached TO the cells,
and have for their purpose the neutraiiza-
ton or destruction of the poison, IN this
case the diphtheria toxin that calls Tor
their production.
AS a result of the repeated stimulation
of these cells their power of production
of these antibodies is greatly increased,
so that they are finally made in excess and
become separated from the cells produc-
ing them and are found floating in the
serum of the horse. These free antibodies
produced as result of this repeated
stimulation of the cells are found free in
the blood stream as the antltoXln
The same thing happens when tetanus
poison is injected into horse. only in
this case the result is the production OF
tetanus antitoxin instead of diphtheria
anttoxin.
In making diphtheria antitoxin the
scientist starts with the diphtheria toxin,
and in order to make the toxin 1t is nee
essary to have a culture of the diphtherla
germs that will produce strong toxin in
six eight days.
For growing this dfphthetia bacillus a
beef broth is made with a certain degree
of acdity, and is inoculated on the sur
face with the diphtheria germ. 1t is then
put into a room which is kept at a con-
slant temperature of the body. In six or
eight days the entire media has become
covered with a heavy growth of the d1ph-
iberia germ. The flask containing this is
taken and filtered through a stone filter,
which removes all germs, leaving the
fluid entirely free from them. To this is
then added some preservative, and it's
strength is then tested by inoculating
different amounts into guinea pigs. Hav-
ing determined how strong it is, it is then
ready for incubation of horses for the
production of the diphtheria antitoxin.
This is then injected into the horse.
When the diphtheria germ is mixed with
the antitoxin the result is that the poison
is neutralized and rendered ineffective.
This same thing happens when antitoxn
is administered to child with diphtheria.
The diphthera poison is generated in
the body of the child. If the horse anti
toxin is now administered to the child it
neutraliZeS the poison, and in snort
while, in some cases only a few hours,
there is a marked reduction of the fever.
the child breathes easier. and there is a
general improvement. In a short while
the symptoms entirely disappear and the
child has recovered from the disease.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Sept THAT
the law in regard to holding elections
on the subject of additional school
levies should be changed by the legis-
lature, because of the hardship which
it works on teachers in the country
schools and also many pf thlse in the
smaller towns, is urged In a letter re-
ceiyed by Governor Cruce from II. l..
Nichols, superintendent of the city
schools at Holdenville.
Under the law as It now stands the
election cannot be held until the first
Tuesday after the second Monday in
August Mr., Nichols insists that this
is too late. because in case the levy is
not authorized, II will be too late for
the teachers who has been waiting for
a position TO find another. In some
cases the levy as made will not pro-
vide for more than a four months
term. which would throw the teacher
out OF employment in the middle Of
the winter.
