DOCTORS GERM DUEL
is POSTPONED
DR.. Hill Claims Previous Challenge
DR., Zettel Wants to Take First
Challenger's Place.

ST PAUL, Mimi, July 15.-Tempo-
rarily, DIR. H. w. Hill, executive officer
of the Minnesota Public Health associa-
ton, has put aside the challenge of DR..
II. A. Zettel, electropath, to duel to
the death with germs.
His reason is that he first accepted
IA similar challenge published by DR..
John B. Frazer of Toronto in an article
in the Physical Culture magazine, and
is awaiting word from the Toronto ply
sician. If DR.. Zettel's challenge is ac-
cepted the duel probably will take place
this fall There are many details that
must be settled before the test of theo
ries as DR.. Hill prefers to call the duel,
is staged.
81 have told DIR. Frazer said DR..
Hill, "that before he is inoculated with
contagious disease germs, even at his
own request, he must furnish us with
legal documents generating us from
any damages or blame should death re-
suit from the incubation. DIR. Frazer
must arrange with his insurance COM
panies regarding his policy; we must
secure permission from the health au-
thorities lest we should get into trouble
for propagating infectious diseases.
&" Personally, / would prefer to prove
to Dr. Frazer that his theory that germs
do not cause disease is fallacious by
inoculating guinea pigs. He has, how
ever, challenged any board of health to
prove that germs cause death and, if he
insists, and the arrangements are made
as | have stated | will enter the con
test with him. / will receive the same
incubation as he, first having been in
| oculated or vaccinnated with the cor
rect immunizer for the disease in ques
tion. He will receive the incubation
using his method of sanitation, pure air
/, food and drink as his immunizers. The
test should prove once and for all which
theory regarding germs is correct. Per
sonallv | have no doubt of the result.
DR. Zettel, while disappointed at DIR
/ Hill S failure to accept his offer to act
/ for DR.. Frazer in the duel, said that ho
win now send word of his offer to DR.
/ Frazer and ask to be appointed to ac'
(, in his place. He believes that botl
i principals to the duel will have to q
| through a series of. tests to Prov
] whether or not either of them is natur
ally immune to certain diseases.
1t would not be fair, he explained
for the other to receive inoculation i
one already is immune through having
had the disease in. question or through
other natural causes.
