New York.-Reduction from 25 to

the discovery of new treatment. it
was announced by the Metropolitan

The discovery was made by Er.
Lloyd D. FELTON,, who conducted ex-
periments under a commission ap,
pointed by the company just after the
influenza epidemic of 191S-1919. The
commission sought methods of com.
batting and preventing influenza, which
often precedes pneumonia, with the
result that DR.. FELTON,, working in the
department of preventive medicine
and hygiene at Harvard Medical
School, succeeded in perfecting a Sc
rum which the members of the com
mission contend has proved effective
in from % to 80 per cent of the cases

More than 10000 persons in the
United States die of pneumonia every
year" said the announcement. IF
the death rate can be reduced one
half it will mean the saving of $4,000
lives in this country alone"
In its original form the pneumonia

somewhat diminished by violent reac-
ton in the form of chills, serum sick.
ness and rashes. By precipitating
and concentrating the antibodies OF
the serum DR.. FELTON, is said to have
eliminated harmful elements and
greatly strengthened the protective
