subsequent retelling may remedy.
For such reasons it Is frequently
urged upon tire users that no small part
OF the satisfaction and service they may

upon themselves and their actions II
they take good care to see that their

care Is exercised in driving the car at

SERUM TREATMENT
CHECKS PNEUMONIA
Army Surgeon of Camp Dix
Gratified With Results
of Experiment.

Camp Dix. Wrightstown, n. j., Oct.
23.--The vaccine treatment, as proven
tive of pneumonia adopted here expert
mentally by the government during thc
recent epidemic when pneumonia com
plicatcd manv influenza cases, Is demon
strating its real value, Judging from early
records Of soldiers VINO have been inocu-
lated The Medical Department offered
the treatment free to any soldiers vol
unteering for the experiment. In the
camp. $3.50 officers and enlisted men
have taken the treatment and AT the
base hospital $50 members of the Nedi-
cal Corns. In this total of l0,lSO, not
one ease of pneumonia has developed,
despite the fact that this disease has
also been epidemic here. While medical
officers say the treatment is still too
much I'm mn experimental stage to draw
definite conclusions they are delighted
with this record and Lieutcnant-C olo-
mel BeerV, camp surgeon, is planning
to renew the offer of treatment this
week for at least another 10000 soldiers
The vaccine treatment has not been
adopted as n cure OF pneumonia and
Is gwen. as n preventive measure, only
TO men in perfect health. Surgeons say
that in the treatment Of more than 1O,-
900 soldiers there has been no serious
reaction and that Its reactlng effects
are much mllder than those following
inoculations against typhoid. Should
the experience of this and other camps
prove conclusively the value of the pneu-
mona vaccine this third shot will
probably be added to the anti-typhoid
and anti-smallpox treatment now given
recruits.
Congressional investigation Of the al
legged disloyal activities of liquor inter-
ests will find a sensational feature in
connection with stories circulated
through New Jersey and nearby states
TO the effect that soldiers here were piled
with liquor by army surgeons during
the recent influenza epidemic, both as a
preventive and cure for the plague
Maior-General Scott, commander of the
camp, issued an emphatic denial of the
widely circulated stories today; officers
of the camp branded them as a new and
pcrnicious form Of pro-Gernan props-
ganda designed both to undermine civil
faith in the military authorities, which
have made all camps dry zones, and 70
weaken the morale of the soldiers them
selves, while hospital authorities pro-
duced records TO show that during the
entire epidemic not a drop Of whisky
WAS prescribed for patients here.
