Gently fatal sickness. The learned sa-

in a new direction. and after many ex-

diet of liver was the cure for pernicious
anemia, an affiiction in which the red
corpuScles of the blood are devoured
apparently, by the white ones, with q
resultant slow but sure death. Liver,
DR.. Minot found, contained some hith-

AntitoxinS for the cure and prevention
of diphtheria and smallpox had been

had been blocked In their raids and epi-

more stubborn. Scores of research
workers had striven In vain TO find or
isolate the germ or cause OF the disease.
The Chicago doctors conducted thou
sands of experiments, inocuiating ami
mails and finally volunteer humans with
the disease, and at last caught the germ.
They then developed an antitoxin so
that humans can be vaccinated against
