The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-03-28

John d. Rockefeller has one
soft spot In his gold plated Har-
veyized steel view of things-the
spot where DR.. Simon Flexner
stands. The Oil King had n
granddaughter once who became
Afflicted with spinal meningitis.
She died. Her death is the first
thing ever known to wiring tears
from the eyes of the man who
made the OH trust, the first thing
to put a touch of human feeling
In him--at least her death was
the first occasion the people had
ever been given an opportunity to
zee that Rockefeller had a heart.
He determined that instead of
endowing universities and libra
ries with his kerosene millions
he would devote some OF 1t to ex-
p1oring the wilds where bacteria
live and have their being with the
idea OF finding out what causes
meningitis of the spine and what
could be done to cure 1t.
That is where DR.. Simon Flex-
ner comes In. Rockefeller found
F7exner In Philadelphia. where he
was studying bacteria In the uni
varsity hospital and the Aver
clinical laboratory of the Penn
sylyania hospital. He presented
Flexuer with q book full or sign
"a checks and told him TO ind
what causes meningitis and how
- cure II. And II there were
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-03-28

not enough checks in the book
to come back and get another
book.
And Flexner found the germ
and the thing to kill 1t, with the
result that the death rate from
spinal meningitis was reduced
from 80 per cent to less than rs
per cent. And IL is still going
down. That Is the Flexner way
OF doing things. When he got
through with meningitis he start
ed in on infantile paralysis.
These two things had a great deal
in common. DIR. Flexner an
nounced a year or SO ago that
the germs of infantile paralysis
were so small that none of the in
struments then in existence were
capable of showing it. So he ask
ed for time to get new instru-
ments-he had to invent them
and tell someone how to make
them. But he did it. And now
--today-he says he HAS FOUND
Tur GERM OF AINFANTILE
-ABYSIS and is head over
5keis at work on thing that
WILL KILL 1T.
Flexner is not yet SO years of
age-he'ii reach the half century
