CLAIM TO HAVE FOUND
SCARLET fever GERM
Boston PathoIogists Report Dis
covery of BaciIIus-NeW York
Physician Skeptical.

Boston.-Dr. F. B. Mallory, patholo-
gist Of the Boston City hospital, and
bis assistant, DR.. e. N. Medlar, have
discovered the bacillus that causes
scarlet fever, and 1t Is believed 1t will
not be very difficult to work out an
antttoxin or vaccine for its prevention
and cure.
This important discovery Is laconi-
ca1ly described by DR.. Mallory and DR..
Medlar in a thousand word article in
the current issue Of the Journal Of
Medical Research entitled "The Ell
doggy Of Scarlet Fever"
It Is largely owing to the short life
Of the actual germ that It has evaded
discovery so long. The germs are found
soon after the skin eruption appears
and usually find Judgment first in the
tonsils or at the root Of the tongue.
The germ is less virulent than the
diphtheria bacillus, although It infects
practically the same localities. DR..
Mallory says it is a "grampositive ba-
cnh-"
"a vaccine for the disease would be
the more important" says DR.. Mallory,
$50 as to render nurses immune to the
disease. Scarlet fever is not conveyed,
as many suppose, from the scaling Of
the patient. When that takes place
all the germs in the body are dead"
It was said by New York physi-
clan that a number Of doctors have
claimed the discovery Of the bacillus
Of scarlet fever, but have failed to sub
stantiate their claims.

ecutive.
Governor Fielder, who, for the past
three years, has been the principal
guest at the mid-winter luncheons of
the press representatives from differ
ent sections Of the State, thanked the
members for their fairness in deal
ing with his administration. He
urged them to continue that policy
in the future
"Be sparing until you find criti-
cism is deserved" he said Inspect
the series of an officials perform
ances, not one act. The best kind of
men refuse to take office because of
the unfair criticism. 1t is sacrifice
for such men to accept public office.
Don't knock them too hard. Rather,
encourage them"
Governor Fielder urged co-opera-
ton between the future Chief Ex-
ecutives, members of the Legislature
and the press, declaring that such a
combination, working in harmony for
the welfare of New Jersey, could rea-
lie great accomplishments.
Other speakers on the program

Usher of the New York Globe, and
Louis Jackson, formerly industrial
commissioner of the Erie Railroad.
The latter talked on "The Newspaper

Senator Read praised the integrity
of Governor Fielder, especially with
reference to his selections for vacan-
cies on the bench in this State.
"He has made his appointments
with only one idea in mind, the up
building of the judiciary, without re-
gard to politics." declared Read.
