New York, June l7.-Infuenza and
pneumonia are no more to be feared
than boil on the back Of the neck.
according To Dr. Charles H.Duncan,
one of the founders of the Volunteer
Hospital. who. in an address here to
day before the convention of the Allied
Medical Associations of America, de-
scribed his method of combating Span
ish Influenza by means of "immuni1'
ing "A patient to his own poison"
Upon 2l6 patients IN with pneumonia
and influenza last winter, Or. Duncap
said he had used the treatment with
out single fatility or any complica-
tions"
Briefly" the physician said, Il take
one drachm of mucous from the in
fected area and pasteurize it in one
ounce of filtered water, where it re-
mains several hours.
"One cubic centimetre of this toxine,
injected simultaneously, will effect u
spontaneous cure of Spanish influenza,
pneumonia, oatarrh or any similar To-
called infection. 1t will stop any
cough. except tuberculosis, inside OF
"a hours"
The doctor said he had been using
the method, which he calls auto
therapy," for about 10 years and that
it now was widely accepted by allo-
paths. homeopaths and eclectic physi-
clans. although it had not been indorsed
by the American Medical Association.
He said it had been tested successfully

Dr. George II. Laidlaw, professor Of
the history of medicine and diagnosis
at Flower Hospital in discussing the
Duncan method, said that the discov.
erer has solved u problem that has
been terminating in medicine for 200O
years. DR.. Duncan's work marks the
conclusion of Pasteur, Koch and
Wright, and is a decided step forward
in the regular development of bacter.
ial therapy"
DIR. Duncan said that by taking the
poison from boil and subjecting il
to his process and injecting the steril
lied product into patients body he
not only cured him of the boil, but rem.
dered him immune against repeti
ton of such afflictions
Similar results, he said, had obtained
in cases of mastoiditis, eczema and
certain of local venereal diseases.

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT HAS
NOTHING FOR PUBLICATION
ON L. =. TROOPS CROSSING.

Mexico City, None, June l6.-The
Mexican government has nothing to
give out for publication regading the
crossing of American troops from FL
Paso into JuareZ, according to a state
ment made tonight at the office of Gen.
Juan Barragan, President Carranza' s
chief of staff.
General Barragan, who was in con
ference with the president and cabinet
members virtually all day, gave out II
copy of official dispatches from
Juarez, Hermosillo and other border
points. giving details of the fighting
of the Associated Press dispatches re-
ceived last night.
one official dispatch from Gen.
Candido Aguilar, confidential ambassa-
dor of President CarranZa in the United
States, stated that he had made rep
reservations to the state department in
Washington regarding the incident.
Questioned regarding the stand taken
by General Aguilar, it was stated by
General Barragan that General Aguilar
would give out the necessary informa-
ton.
The tone of official dispatches seemed
to indicate that Mexican officials on
the border accepted the American claim
that the attack on the Villa forces by
American troops was for the purpose of
protecting American lives across the
frontier.
The statement made by General Con
that biS forppS po1ll have de-
feated the Villstas without American
help is concurred in at military head
quarters here.

said his father was a multimllionaire
and he fell in love with his mothers
maid, and his father turned him right
out in the cold without nickel to his
back, and just then war was declared
and he felt it his duty to go and fight
instead of marrying the girl, and the
day after he came back he met his
father right on Fifth Avenue and he
just cut him dead. You couldn't blame
him after the way he had been treated.
His father called to him--you see. he
had one of those pinwheel things on his
shoulder like yours, and his father knew
that he must have done something
pretty heroic to get it-but he Just
would not make up with him. and don /
