The serum method Of preventing
scarlet fever proved so effective in one
trial that II theoretically offers a solu-
lion Of the scarlet fever question.
The same method had proven sue
ressful with mumps and other diseases.
It consists in injecting some blood
serum from a convalescent into The
tissues of q person who has been ex-
posed to tho disease. ..ar
The shortcoming of the method lies
In the difficulty in finding GONZALES
cents from scarlet fever willing to give
blood.
Caron!a OF Naples makes use of a
slightly different method. He gathers
the scales from a case of scaling scar
let fever and soaks them IN the serum
Of convalescerts. The serum is sup
posed to dissolve the protecting sub
stance from the scales. The scales and
She latter is injected under the skin.
r. In the ChildrcE's Hospital. at Naples,
children with different forms OF cor
tagion are all treated in tho same ward.
A case Of scarlet fever was placed in
3 ward where there were % other chill
dren, none OF whom had had scarlet
fever. Two had a mild disorder that
might have been a typical scarlet fever.
The remainder escaped entirely. Three
doses Of vaccine, each consisting Of 15
minims, were given every day In srme
cases and On alternate days In others.

the scales or the serum. II 1t is the
scales, in whole or in greatest part,
then II should be possible to get some
other solvent for them. In fact. a sim
pie salt solution should act equally as
well. IL 1t Is a matter of scales only,
the wards Of a scarlet fever hospital
can supply an abundance.
The research men engaged in search
ing for the cause of and a cure for
scarlet fever have had no success. In,
spite OF 20 years OF work by richly en-
lowed men no progress has been made.
The art stands now where it stood when
the germ theory was being promulgat-
ed. Perhaps this recent return to the.
methods Of the Eighteenth century may
promise something.
In that age the remedies used for
this and almost all other diseases were
such things as skin, scales. fox's lungs,
and beef hearts. The use Of serum and
scales of convalescents Is not exactly
on the same basis. There is a little
scientific basis for them as they are
used, but 1T is based on rather broad
and somewhat loose reasoning. OF
course, the method of preparation for
use is far more cleanly and esthetic
than that Of the old days.
