SOCIETY CHI IDREN u. S. SERUM USED
HELP MARJORIE ONTEUTON ARMY
Mt. Sinai Doctors Back
After Years Work with
Central Powers Men.

With a record Of having demon
strated successfully on the armies Of
Central Europe a typhus serum dis
covered in Mount Sinai Hospital, in
this city, Or. Henry Plotz and DR..
George Baehr, Of that hospital, re-
turned yesterday on the Nleuw AM
sterdam. They spent a year working
with the Bulgarian, Austrian and Ger
man armies.
The doctors said they had no sue
cess with the Serbian army because
the officers would not let them prove
the benefits Of their serum on the SOL
diers. After the Serbs were driven out
by the Bulgarian army, however, the
doctors had chance. The Bulgarian
commanders asked them to stay and
work on the invading army. In one
division alone they inoculated 5000
men.
At the request OF several well known
physicians in Vienna, with whom Dr..
Baehr had studied some years ago, the
two American doctors spent the first
two weeks of 1916 demonstrating their
typhus preventive in the Austrian
capital. 1t was so enthusiastically re-
ceiyed by the medical profession that
Or. Baehr was sent 10 the front Aus
trian lines near the Russian frontier
to check typhus in the camps and
trenches lie spent a month in that
district, working almost constantly at
inocuating the soldiers and directing
the improvement Of sanitary condi-
tions
Meanwhile DR.. Plotz returned to
Serbia and Bulgaria. His fight against
the typhus scourge was so appreciated
that Queen Eleonore of the Bugarans
granted him a private audience and
thanked him In the warmest terms for
his work. Both Dr. Plotz and DR..
Baehr were able to obtain much valu-
able data on diseases that attack troops
in the field They will use this as
the basis of more exhaustive research
work
Privileges Of travel not granted TO
any other neutrals were extended TO
the two doctors. Their passes al
lowed them to so from the German
front against the Russians to the AL
lied front at Salonica with practically
no restriction. A large part of their
work was done in cooperation with the
Lady Paget hospital at Uskub.
