ANTIrTOXILH M

"a E not expect our mily physician tc be swayed in st by fads and crazes. If you A 'ei e''i1em as know them, however, yIeSen''uld realize that they a . no morei pt than others' There have beeYoy Sly brilliant vic- tories over dangerTN TNoi4 4iseases through the serum or antlS99d d,in method of treatment, the most Z. ttable of these IS the anti-typhoid sd 'Nm Ts--Sz: ----as practically eliminan typhoid faver from the army Th@ wonderful suc- cess of that treatment has caused many to think that iserum treatment will cure everything and anything and inc result has beea that the doctors have been deluged with papers and reprints of articles, speeches and ad- vcrtisements of allf kinds of serum, anti-toxins and otheF remedies to be injected into the poor sufferer. re- gardless of the fact that the trouble is easily curable by ordinary and simple methods.
 There Is one method of using serums that consider more valuable than all the rest and the physician that makes a careful study of it and then studies lis patient will have as high a percentage of successes as has been scored by the and-typhoid serum. The method upon which 1 believe the physician can most confi- dently rely is the ap4togenous serum, which the doctor can easily make in his own laboratory and he will know that he is absolutely safe in giving 1t to his patients, that he takes no chances whatever of Injecting into his patient any taint of diBease from any outside source.
 I have seen some cry remarkable rcsults from the use 9f auto-therapy, in more simple terms, self-cure. Among these cases were several epi- leptics four of them within the last two years, and they seem to be com pletely cured; a case of chronic sore throat and chronic constipation con- pletely cured with two treatments; a very aggravated case of leucorrhea completely cured and during the past year the patient has had the best health she ever had in her life; ar extremely bad case of inpetigo, com plicated with ivy poisoning. completely cured with one treatment.
 In many cases the autogenous treatment can be administered by the patient himself if he has a simple working knowledge of chemistry such as Is taught in our present day high schools. To treat the case oi chronic sore throat and chronic con. stipation from which the victim had suffered for 20 years, he did most ot the work himself. Here Is the way he did 1t:
 First he procured g. twu-ounct glass stoppered bottle, this was wash ed out with sterile water Cboiled). I was then filled half full of steril, water and after swallowing all of tn, saliva that was in his mouth, he the1 cleared his throat, just as he was ire quently forced to do, and the mucu thus secured was spit or emptied int the bottle, immediately corIed, ant vigorously agitated by shaking Tn bottle was then taken to his physician where it was put into a small fncuba tor, g. box with an electric light In fl There it remained in this warm ever temperature for 24 hours. The bottl, was then filled with sterile water ant the contents filtered through clear filter paper, keping 1t carefully cover ed and protected from dust. The bot tie was again washed with steril
