PLOTz W|THHOLDS
PAPER ON TYPHUS
Former NeWarker Condemned
by Physicians Assn for Its
Premature Publication.

ATLANTIC CITY, May 14.-Con-
demned for the premature publication
of his reported discovery of a method
of isolating the typhus germ by the
Association of American Physicians,
here yesterday, DR.. Harry Plotz, for
mer Newarker and now an inferno in
Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York, did
not read his paper before the conven-
tion yesterday. No reference at all
was made to the discovery which has
caused so much discussion In the
medical world.
DR.. Plotz did not appear before the
convention and the general opinion
is that the association would have
declined his request of a hearing had
he made one, on the ground that he
had broken the ethics Of the medical
profession. The association, it Is said
frowns upon the publication of the
alleged discovery before it has had
an opportunity to hear of it.
Great Importance was attached to
a report by DR.. William Charles
White, of Pittsburgh, that benzol is
the best solvent discovered for the
fat portion of the tubercle bacilli.
Because benzol can easily be
vaporized and utilized as an an
esthetic, it was thought possible in
this way to dissolve the living
tubercle bacillus after it's entrance
into the pulmonary capillary system
by way of the ear vein and before the
formation of the tubercle.
DR.. Simon Flexner, New York, said
recent experimental studies on polioZ
myelitis confirm the view that in
man infection occurs through the
upper respiratory tract, and that the
virus passes to the central nervous
organs by way of the cerebro- spinal
fluid and not by way of the blood.
An interesting discussion developed
the statement that chloroform pro-
duces q species of intoxication in ami
mails which have been used for eX-
perimental purposes. This intoxica-
| ton, treatment of rats showed, might
| be reduced by diet.
| DR.. James M. Anders, of Philadel-
phia, read a paper on the relation o1
the pituitary disease to glycosuria
with statistics.
The following officers were elected
President, S. J. Meltzer, of the
Rockefeller Institute, New York; vice
president, Henry Sewell Denver; sec
retary, George M. Kober, Washing
| ton; recorder, Thomas McCrae, Phila'
| delphia; treasurer, ]. p. Grocer Grif.
