thus q double action Is secured; on the
one hand It reaches the nervous tissue di-
rectly from the cerebr0spinaI liquid, and
On the other Indirectly with the blood. An
immune horse serum at first gave disap-
pointing results. but tatterly its employ
ment By intFanuscuIaP injection has given
more promise
The point Of departure which we have
adopted Is the drug ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
(urotropin,1 which possesses a degree of
antiseptic action in the body and is known
to be secreted into the cerebrospinal
liquid When the drug is adninistrated
by mouth it can be detected by chemical
tests in the liquid in a short time. When
incubation of virus and administration
of the drug are begun together and the
administration continued for some days
afterward, the development of the para
lysis is sometimes but not always ayerted.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS lends itself to modi-
fcations by the addition of still other
antiseptic groups to its molecule We have
tested large number of such modifica-
tons and have found certain ones to ex-
coed the original compound in protective.
power, and others to promote the onset
of paralysis. None is wholly without some
degree of injurious action upon the SEN
sitive and vital organs OF the body. But
manipulative skill has already succeeded
in eliminating the objectionable and i'm
proving the valuable features of certain
drugs SO that they exert action but little
upon the organs and severely upon the
parasite, when they become useful thera-
peutic agents.
Power May Return.
In the less severe cases of infantile
paralysis only group of muscles IN
dergo complete paralysis and atrophy,
and there is always hope of some re-
turn of power in a paralyzed limb. As
ISOLATED with the withered condition of
the limb due to the muscular atrophy
is an enfeebled circulation, rendering
the limb cold, blue and Hvid; the nu-
triton of the bones and other parts is
involved, so that limb paralyzed in
early infancy does not grow and is
shorter than its fellow.
In Scandinavian countries the d.
sease is prevalent and sometimes as
sumes an epidemic form, whereby one
is led to believe that it is due to an
infective organism.
Beginning In 1907, or thereabout, a
paEdemic of the disease arose. The
United States, Austria, Germany, and
latterly France have certainly had cpl
demic outbreaks. 1t is considered a
matter of significance that the original
foci of the epidemic disease in the
United States, occurring in the summer
nine years ago, We're among the At
lantic seaboard states, and that the
two centers of population most seri-
ously affected were Greater New York
and Boston. The particular point of
Importance in this respect arises from
the fact that those two centers of pop
ulation receive first and in most con-
centrated way the immigrant popula-
tons from northern and eastern Flu
rope.

And They Are Sixty-Inch Tread
AND THE CONGRESSMAN SAW
Really Nothing Remarkable in Story
of Man Who Sold Horse at
So Much Foot.

Two or three newspaper men and a
congressman in Washington, who was
a merchant in private life, were swap
ping yarns.
81 remember on one occasion" said
the congressman, having in stock a
big lot of dry-goods remnants that
seemed to stick right by me in spite
of all ] could do to get rid of them.
At last 1 advertised to sell them at
so much pound, and the curiosity of
people to see if they could get more
at pound rates for their money than
they could get at yard rates soon
cleared out the stock. At another time
4 sold lot of side meat at so
much square foot, taking the run
of the side, and the customers who
got bargains in the thick of the meat
encouraged others who had the luck
to get theirs out of the thin, so
evened up very nicely"
'"That reminds me-" remarked one OF
the correspondents, "of horse / sold
once at so much foot"
How was that?" inquired the con-
gresham, somewhat puzzled. How
did you make your measurements?
can understand how you might sell
him at so much hand, and coming out
pretty well on it if he was big fellow,
sixteen or seventeen hands high, but
don't see how you got at him by the
foot"
THAT was easy enough. I simply
sold him at so much foot-$37.5
How much did you get for himT
and the congressman got out his pen
Gil.
"a hundred and fifty dollars"
The congressman figured for about
a sixteenth of a minute.

months, very much as the virus of vac
cinia or rabies does. It withstands dry
ing over caustic potash for weeks with
out any or marked reduction in poten-
cy, showing a greater degree of resis-
lance than the virus of rabies"
Doctor Flexner has discussed the di-
sease before numerous medical socie-l
ties, both in this country and Europe,
and the following paragraphs are TAX
en- from some Of his papers:
A Living Organism.
That the virus is a living organism must
be concluded from the fact that such mi
mute quantities of it suffice to carry infec-
ton through an indefinite series of ami
mails. We have propagated the virus now
through % generations representing Is
separate series of monkeys, and as many
removes from the original human material
supplying it, and the activity of the virus
for the monkeys has increased rather
than diminished in the course and as the
result of the successive transplantations.
Whether the virus has been or is to be
cultivated outside of the body is still an
undecided question.

ering. If camePs hair pencil or pledget

painted upon the mucous membrane of
monkeys these animals will develop in due
time the paralysis and other symptoms
of poliomyelitis
The chief terror of the disease lies I'm
its appalling power to produce deformities
When death does occur it is not the re-
suit. as In many infections, of a process
OF poisoning that robs the patient of
strength and consciousness before its i'm
minence, but is caused solely by paralysis
OF the respiratory function, sometimes
with merciful suddenness, but often with
painful slowness, without in any degree
obscuring the consciousness OF the suffo-
eating victim until just before the end is
reached No more terrible tragedy can
be witnessed.
The employment for treatment of the
immune serum. taken from monkeys or
from human beings, exercises a definite IL
not very strong protective action upon In
oculated monkeys. Either the disease is
prevented altogether, or its evolution is
modified in such manner as to diminish
its severity. When the virus used for in
oculation is highly adapted to the monkey
and thus very yirulent Ii is more difficult
to control the result than when it departs
less from the original type and is less ac-
tive.
How IL Acts.
The immune serum has thus far acted
best when it was injected into the sub
dural space on several successive days

New Departure in Threshing Machine
is Invention of Monroe Davis,

A machine which may revolutionize
the grain threShing industry OF the
country the invention of Mr.. Monroe
Davis was demonstrated at Enid, Ok
lahOma, recently.
The machine which weighs only 2lOO
pounds employs only centrifugal force
in removing the grain from the stalk
and separating it from the ChafF. With
this machine oats were threShed in a
satisfactory manner and at a high rate
Of speed. 1t is claimed for the machine
that it will threSh grain more eConomi-
ally and better than the large machines
in present use. The inventor claims
that he can re-threSh 1.-THE straw from
the ordinary machine and get grain
enough to make the threShing pay.
The machine has neither Concave,
cylinder teeth screen or riddle; no cog
wheels and only eight places TO oil; and
feeds automatically by picking the
bundles from the ground.
A machine of this kind should be a
boon to the rice growers as the absence
of teeth WOui eliminate the breaking
Of the grains
The inventor Of the new threSher,
Mr.. Monroe Davis is a brother of our
uncle Tom d Wis, and q years old.
