BARUCH PREDICTS RACE
FREE OF ACUTE DISEASE
Suggests Injections Into Chill
dren of Serum from Adults.

The possibility Of making children
immune to infantile paralysis and,
ultimately, of breeding a race immune
to all infectious diseases, is suggested
by Dr. Herman B. Baruch, Of. II East
Fifty-second street, in the current
Medical Record"
There is reason to believe" DR..
Baruch writes, "that if children are in
jected with serum drawn and prepared
from the blood of their parents or
others who have suffered from infan-
tile paralysis, scarlet fever, or any
other diseases, such offspring will be
rendered immune to these diseases,
Eventually 1t will be possible to breed
a race of humans who will be pro-
gressively immune to all of the acute
infectious diseases"
1t has long been known, DR.. Baruch
states, that an attack of certain NAL
aides protects the individual against a
subsequent attack.
"As a matter of practical moment"
he continues, 81 believe that if the
blood of an adult be drawn under
proper aseptic precautions and the
serum isolated, an injection of from
one TO six ounces of this serum will
produce an immunity in child if the
subject from whom the blood is drawn
has suffered from the disease.
II believe it will be possible to pre-
vent the occurrence of scarlet fever,
measles, typhoid fever, smallpox,
typhus fever and all diseases. an at
tack of which produces an immunity
of greater or lesser extent for the
future.
"The terrible results Of the present
epidemic and the large number of Grip
pies which il will undoubtedly leave,
in addition to the death toll of 20
per cent, should make it worth while
to attack this problem so the future
may not see the anguish and suffering
which the present affliction has
brought"

Seibert, appears in single cases in

proves that the danger for eontagion

possible, is but very slight, for other
