others substituted for them, the opera
tions proving remarkably successful The
value Of this discovery may prove Of IN
estimable benefit to the human race.
While the death rate Of the civilized
world with respect to contagious and in
fectious diseases has undergone a re-
markable decline, on the other hand
those diseases which are chronic and
come from overwork and the pace that
kills have been increasing at an alarming
rate. If kidney diseases may be over
come by transportation an inestimahle
boon will have been conferred on the hu-
man race by the discovery. The possibii-
ties of such experiments are beyond con-
ception.
A dozen other equally potential lessons
have been learned in the laboratories of
the Rockefeller Institute. Each of these
new discoveries Is being tested in every
way that the ingenuity of the man Of
research who takes nothing for granted
aid the cause Of healing both directly
and indirectly. Not only are these ex-
periments directed to finding out things
that may be used by the physician, but
some by the iaity as WELL For instance.
thousands OF cases of death occur from
electric shock, drowning, coal gas poison
ing and what not, simply because a physi-
clan is not near enough to treat the pa
tient after the accident. Laboratory ex-
periments have developed a method of
artificial respiration that may be en-
ployed by the layman in bringing the VIC
tim back to life by restoring the func-
tions of the heart and lungs before the
vital spark has entirely departed.

small animals. He injected the germs into
the abdomens Of the little creatures, some
of whom died. but the majority Of whom,
after being sick for a short time, re-
covered their usual health. Then he
undertook a new line Of experiments He
injected some Of the serum into the spine
of a monkey. The little fellow died as
much a martyr to science as ever a hero
was to his country. Then it was tried on
guinea pigs, and half Of them were given
the serum and the other half were not.
Those which were inoculated and then
treated with the serum recovered. Those
which were not treated with the serum
died Then it was again tried on monkeys,
the serum administered being taken from
q goat. This experiment failed.
But DIR. F1exner was too Arm in his
theories to be daunted by this failure He
next inoculated other monkeys and treat
ed them with the serum taken from
monkeys Those which were 80 treated
recovered, while those which were not died.
The experiments were carried far enough
to demonstrate beyond the peradventure
OF a doubt that the serum Is efficacious
especially when applied in the early
stages OF the disease: In these expert
ments about twenty-five monkeys and
hundred. guinea pigs died that thousands
OF children might be saved.

now every country in the civilized world

down in history with vaccination, the
mosquito theory Of yellow fever diphtheria
anti-toxin and other great discoveries Of
the past century and a quarter.
Another discovery Of the institute is
the fact that magnesium injected intra-
spinally will often relieve lockjaw where

Even where the nti-tetanus serum treat

method of blood vessel suture brought out
by the institute has been accepted by the
entire medical world.
Many other discoveries .,ave proved sue

and years various theories of the origin
of this dreadful disease have been put
forth. but for a long time the theory
that it is a germ disease was denied.
1t was claimed by some that it might be
due to the displacement OF tissue in the
embryo and the consequent postponement
of its growth until adult life was reach

AW0MANyO OBSERVATIONS


the city mix dealer should stand any
loss because he must pay a higher
price TO the producer. The milk re-
taller of the city must make the same
profits for himself, 40 matter what he
pays the farmer. 1t wouldn't do at
all TO ask the city dealer to curtall
his expenses or dividends. If anybody
is to curtail expenses its the consum-
er. The consumer doesn't have 10

So, naturally, whatever extra the city
dealers pay must come out OF the
consumer.

about it, but it's been a prosperous
year in crops and in business, and
prices ought to be slantiIg down in

The big firms say its the produc

there's milk. Because the farmer de
mands more money for his milk the
big city milk dealer raises the price
TO the public to pay the additional
amount to the farmer.
"All investigations show that the
farmer never got enough for his milk;
in fact, was forced to sell 1t most o.
the time without profit. But now the
farmers are learning a lesson from
the city dealers. They are organizing
and, through the strength of theil

demands.
