Technically this new treatment Is known us auto
hemir thernpy. which means treating your blood
with your own blood The process first became
generally known last year. when Doctor Rogers
read n paper before the Chicago Society Of Med
ichl Research He reported to the society the
results OF his six years of observations treating
patients With serum made with their own blood
us base The doctor treated all classes Of pa-
tents whose troubles were apparently due TO
faulty blood and his results In general were de-
clared TO be remarkable. In the ten months that
have elapsed since the autohemic treatment was
made public the serum has become recognized as
discovery as important the achievement Of
DIR. Alexis carrell who was the first to transplant
human organs
Autohcmc therapy Is especially remarkable be-
cause of ITS simplicity. Briefly Doctor Rogers
treatment consists In tnkng five drops of blood
or some multiple Of Ave, from vein and putting

After ineubatlng II nt fever heat for "a hours fur
ther diutons are made according to the needs Of
the patient, which be determined only by II
physician skilled In Its use. When ready for in
jecting. the serum Is coloress odorless and taste
less. Doctor Rogers Is also authority for the
statement that he has not been able 10 find any
physiological chemist sufficiently skilled to de-
termine It's contents.
Twenty to thirty drops Of the serum or solution
thus prepared injected into n vein or under
the skin. II may also be given by mouth, but not
with certain results.
There seems to be no limit to the number of
diseases and complaints for which this new treat

few of these appear tn yield.
The solution has been termed the "Antiazy
Serum" because Il primarily has the energzing
qualities that do away With nervous fatigue. while
greatly increasing physical and mental endurance.

Most remarkable results have been obtained
when the serum wns administered to expecfant
mothers and n Is In this field that Doctor Rogers
expects the greatest good to be accomplished

Although Doctor Rogers and his associates have
treated large number of expectant mothers with
the new serum there has yet TO be reported n case
In which relief was not obtained from those
troublesome complaints so common during this
period Furthermore. In series of cases of
mothers who had previously borne children, the
average duration OF suffering with the birth OF the
serum baby was three hours, while with the for

benefit of this autohemic thernpy. There has not
been reported death among the "serum" babies.
