Quotations

In these days when the prico OF
almost every household necessity is
climbing the housewife will be re-
lieved to know that the cost of meats,
at least, has started to decline. II
you didn't get your beef, lamb or pork
from one to two cents cheaper yes
terday than il cost the same day last
week you can feel pretty certain that
you were helping your butcher buy
another automobile.
However, don't be too jubilant. G. j.
Edwards, New York manager for Swift
& Co., said last night that the price
might jump again next week, as it was
entirely dependent on the quantity OF
meat received in Western markets.
Wholesale quotations of all meats
yesterday were from one-half 20 one
and one-half cents lower than they
were one week ago. Beef showed an
average drop Of one cent on all cuts,
as compared with the same day last
week, and of two cents as compared
with the same day last month. Whole
salers give this table TO show the COM
parative prices of the best grade beef

ADRENALIN ATTACKED
AS PARALYSIS CURE
Statistics Show Other Methods
Had Lower Mortality

Statistics were quoted at last nights
meeting of the orthopedic section OF
the Academy of Medicine tending 20
show that adrenslin is by no means as
effective in treatment of infantile pa
ralysis as many physicians htve been
led to believe.
DR.. Henry Ling Taylor read to thu
section from the records OF four hos
pitfalls. In one case where adrenalln
was exclusively used the death rate
was % per cent-nearly twice that OF
hospitals relying on other methods OF
treatment.
1t was in the Nose, Throat and Ear
Hospital, in Fifty-seventh Street, that
adrenalin was so popular. There eigh-
teen of seventy-seven patients died. Az
the Swirburne Island hospital 1875 cases
were treated, and there were twenty
deaths. Symptomatic treatment had
been given.
Three hundred and forty-three cases
were treated at the Queens Borough
Hospital, and there were forty-one
deaths. OF twenty-one patients who
got the adrenalin treatment, ten died.
In the Fifty-ninth Street Hospital
the old Orthopedic Hospital, which
through the summer was conducted by
the New York Hospital for the recep-
tion of infantile paralysis cases--ffteen
of 121 patients died and no adrenslin
was used.
