The very beautiful and right theory Of the pro-

The announcement of DIR. Simon Flexner, di-
rector of the Rockefeller Institute For Research
that he has found the germ which causes in.
tantle paralysis, has naturally excited the keen
est interest among physicians, and, in fact, is
the most important news to the medical world
since DR. Friedmann's reputed discovery of a
cure for consumption
The germ that kills babies according to DIR.
Fexner. is the smallest microbc organism that
has ever been identified and it can grow only in
medium free from oxygen. That being true,
II would appear to the layman that the medical
profession would not experience great difficulty
in finding serum which will be as simple and
effective as Jenners vaccination. DR.. Flexner
announces that he has not been able to fix the
blame upon the stable fly, to which Or. Rose
nau. OF Washington, attributed this germ, though
