N ID. Rogers. formerly surgeon at
Cook County hospital, Chicago, 20 years senior pro.
fesS0r Of surgery In the National, Emergency hos
pital. and first president Of the American Cancer
Research society.
Technically this new treatment is known as auto
htinic thcrapy, which means treating your blood
with your own blood. The process first hccamc
generally known last year, when Doctor Rogers
read a paper before the Chicago Society of Med
ical Research. He reported to the society the
results OF his six years Of observations treating
patients with n serum made with their own blood
as a base. The doctor treated all classes of pa
tents whose troubles were apparently due to
faulty blood and his results In general We're de-
dared to be remarkable. In the ten months thnt
have elapsed since the autohenic treatment was
made public the serum has become recognized as
a discovery as important as the achievement of
nr, Alexis Carroll, who was the first to transplant
human organs.
.Autohemic therapy is especially remarkable be-
cause of its simplicity. Briefly, Doctor Rogers
treatment consists in taking five drops Of blood.
or some multiple of five, from n vein and putting
Ii into 10 times rs much sterilized, distilled water.
After incnhating II Mt fever heat for "a hours, fur
tlrr dilutions are made according to the needs Of
the patient. which can be determined only by II
physician skilled In its use. When ready for in
jecting, the serum is colorlesS, DdorleSS and taste.
tess. DOCTOR Rogers Is also authority LOT tHe
statement that he has not been able to find any
physiological chemist sufficiently skilled TO de-
terlnine its contents.
Twenty. to thirty drops of the serum or solution
thus prepared are injected into n vein or under
The skin. It may also he given by mouth, but not
with as certain results.
There seems to be no limit to the number Of
diseases and complaints for which this new treat
menf is beneficial. 1t is easier to ennnerate those
conditions for which 1t Is not applicable. Troubles
mechanical, organic, or Of acute ARCHAEOLOGICAL
origin, and t..acs" clearly recognized as inctrab'e'
are not expected to be benefited by it. although n
few of these appear to yield.
The solution has been termed the "AntilaZy
Serum because 1t primarily has the energlzlns
qualities that do away with nervous fatigue. whlie
yreatly increasing physical and mental endurance.
To Illustrate: The fourth day after treatment
a woman walked ten miles and was not as tired as
she had been previously after walking only half Il
mile.
Another case In point was TINT Of a man cener-
ally conceded to he the LATEST person In his COM
munlty. He drank about 20 whistles Il day. but
after the administration Of the serum he began
to do regular hard manual labor. This was about
the first real work he had done for six years.
His rheumatic pains left him. he needed n cane
no longer, his appetite returned. insomnia was re-
placed by sound, refreshing sleep. his weight IN
creased five pounds Qnd his general appearance
changed from that Of a bum" to that Of a clean,
wholesome, bright and honest workman. Previous
~. too, he had suffered from loss Of memory. hut
after taking the serum he could recall the names
of many old acquaintsnces whom he could not
remember before taking the treatment.
Most remarkable results have been obtained
when the serum was administered to expectant
mothers, and II ia In this field that Doctor Rogers
expects the greatest good to be accomplished
through the autohemic treatment. It IL his oehei
that II the treatment comes into general use the

among children, will be wiped out.
Although Doctor Rogers and his associates havf
treated a large number Of expectant mothers wifi
the new serum there has yet to be reported a cnst
In which relief was not obtained from those
troublesome complaints so common during th''
period. Furthermore. In q series OF cases o.
