CAUSE AND CURE
OF COLDS FOUND.
Vaccine Is Developed BY
Noted Maryland
Scientist

BALTIMORE, June e.-tF-
Widespread interest was aroused
today by a scientists announce
ment that he had discovered the
cause Of the common cold and de-
veloped a cure and preventive.
DR.. J. A. Pfeiffer. associate Of the
University Of Maryland Medical
School and an outstanding path
ologist, made the announcement in
o paper before the Maryland
Biological Society. He has devised
O vaccine which he believes cures
O cold and gives q patient i'm
munity for one to three years.
The cause Of colds. which cost
American workers 81, 900, 900 900 a
year in lost wages, lie said, has
been Identified as q micrococcus
which has been named micrococcus
coryza and is entirely new to the
science Of bacteriology, he said.
In the course Of seven years re-
search and experiment into the
causes Of colds the micrococcus has
been subjected to tests by all
methods known to laboratory
technique as well as to experiments
on animals and humans.
I'VE are certain" Dr. Pfeiffer
said, that the m-icrococcus Is the
one we have been looking for and
that persons can be immunized
against attacks. We have proved
both points to our satisfaction by
experiments with animals and
humans.
Ejaculation Of freshly isolated
strains of this organism into the
nasal cavities Of suitable objects
produced the typical clinical symp-
toms Of acute rhinitis colds. In
these cases a coccus. b~iologically
identical with those injected was
recovered from the discharge as
long Is the symptoms persisted and
sometime thereafter
Experiments on humans were
made comparatively easy by the
character OF the disease as many
persons were willing to take a
chance On catching q cold and
submitted themselves as subjects
fo- experiment. DR.. Pfeiffer in
oculated several az his own patients
ard other physicians carried out
similar experiments with their
patients.
