New York. Aug. 27.-That serum

.Dr FleNner's views and the facts he

contributed to the journal of the
5nerican Medical association.
IThe experimental evidence in favor
this treatment shows that if n

mot acquire infantile paralysis when
effort is made to infect them with

IT, test in the course of his practice.
|Dr Meter in making the serum used
|e blood of patients who had entirely
covered from infantile paralysis. An
|tercstinE and significant feature of
Is work. it is said, is the fact that one
the persons who donated blood for
lis purpose had had the disease 80
bars prior to its use as a life saving
gent This demonstrates, according
modern medical teaching, that the
Immunity conferred on this person by

Figinated in the blood when the in

Dr. FleXner gives the necessary condi-
on of the serum and says that doses
from five to % cubic centimetres prob
