CURE FOR SPOTTED
FEVER HOPED FOR
Experiments With Serum Are Being
Made in Effort to Combat the
Dreaded Malady.

A cure for the most virulent type of
Rocky mountain spotted fever, a
malady obtained from the bite of an
infected wood tick. and in some
regions nearly always fatal, is being
found. it is said, by DIR. +. ID. Hitch
cock, Il prominent ba%cteriologist and
Z. S. Navy official.
There has been practically no treat
ment heretofore for the disease. ac-
cording to medical men, the organism
of the affliction having thus far defied
all attempts to define.
Belief that n cure is being discovered
comes from the case of f. f. Morse. a
ranchmm of Montana, contracting
the spotted fever and reaching the
stage where hope for his recovery was
abandoned, IL treatment prescribed by
DIR. Hitchcock restored the patient.
DIR. Hitchcock believes that next year
he will he able to prescribe "A treat
ment for the disease with fair hope of
accomplishing cures. He plans to
spend much of the time in the Bitter
Root country. of Montana, where most
of the cases are fatal.
TIL Idaho strain of the disease and
several other strains are prevalent in
many mountain sections of the west
and even away from the timber areas,
but they are usually not fatal. The
Bitter Root strain, however, is so viru-
lent that most of the attention has beer
directed to it.
Two noted physicians lost their lives
as the result of spotted fever work in
the Bitter Root. They were DIR. Thos.
b. McClintock of the United States
public health service. and DIR. f. a.

The recent high water in the Platte
has seriously interfered with local
train service, one of the bridges be
ing considered unsafe for the passage
of trains. Automobiles and trucks
have brought in the mail from Wal
colt more or less regularly the past
week and it is likely that it will be
several days yet before the flood water
will be sufficiently reduced to allow
the train to resume its daily trips.
