TOXIN HELD SAFEGUARD
AGAINST SCARLET FEVER
Chicago Physicians Sponsors for
Statement That Complete I'M
munity May Be Obtained.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May 16-The current
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, in an article by Drs. George
F. Dick and Gladys Henry Dick of
Chicago, says evidence has been
found that immunity from scarlet
fever may be developed by the use
of toxin. The immunity will last a
year and half, the article says.
The Doctors Dick, who have been
working for years to develop "A serum
to combat scarlet fever and who have
been recommended for the Nobel
prize for their work, some time ago
announced that scarlet fever germs
can be isolated, that the fever can be
eXperimentally produced, and that the
toxin can be used in testing sus-
ceptibility to the fever.
They write that the toxin can be
used in doses large enough to confer
complete immunity. Reactions to the
toxin, they say, are less severe than
those resulting from typhoid ana
diphtheria immunization.
They tell of minimizing 206 nurses
to the point of a negative reaction to
the toxin. None of the nurses de-
veloped scarlet fever, although ex-
posed to it for from six weeks to a
year and a half. In another series of
405 tests, none contracted the disease,
although exposed for a lesser period
