director Of the institution, OF q treatment
for the scourge which Dr. Hammond
himself discovered. saved the patients

DR.. Hammond. while working as a
pathologist at the State Hospital last
December. became infected with germ
which attacks the blood He had been
working long hours in the laboratory and

he was making a microscopic eXamina

rapid and ended in spinal meningitis.
Own Discovery saves Him.
Contrary TO the advice of his colleagues
Dr.. Cotton Immediately prepared TO re-
scrt 10 serum treatment which DR..
Hammond had discovered. Medical au-
thorities agreed that such treatment
would be fata, but Dr.. Cotton decided
to go ahead against the advice of the ex-
nerts and follow the course laid down by
Or. Hammond in his experiments The
cerebro-spinal fluid was drawn from the
spinal canal and a serum injected in its
place. DR.. Hammond lived. His own dis
Covcry had saved his life. but it left him
a maniac after the reaction.
DIR. Hammond had been employed in re-
search work at the hospital for ten years.
He became such an authority and so val
liable 10 the State of New Jersey that the
legislature passed a special appropria-
ton TO send him 10 Germany and con-
tinue his research work with the wizard

Summer Hairdressing.

ITO produce the Castle bob couture,
u which is SO popular among young
girls, the hair may be drawn back
loosely from the forehead and dressed
low in the neck. The device or hair
which gives the bobbed effect is then
arranged on a narrow black velvet rib
bon band. The ribbon is placed rather
low on the forehead. encircling the
head, which allows the bobbed hair to
cover the neck and ears.
The cluster curl Is a style Of couture
used either high or low For both styles
a softly constructed wire foundation
covered with silk net Is employed. This
insures perfect symmetry to the head:
and as 1t can be placed on any part OF
the head the couture can always be ar
ranged in a becoming style.
For high hair dressing round wire
foundation covered with silk net is
placed high on the head. The hair is
drawn loosely over it and is tied Sc
curely. It then may be either coiled or
tucked beneath. The curls are arranged
In q cluster at the top with two or three
arranged becomingly at the nape of the
neck. The hair about the forehead IL
