SERUM RUSHED
BY AIRSHIp TO
SENATOR'S Wife
Mrs. Borah Dangerously III
From Attack of Dread
Parrot Fever.

By United Press
CHICAGO Sept. 23.-An airmail
plane winged speedily across the
nation today bearing a precious
supply Of serum to combat the
dread disease of parrot fever which
has stricken Mrs. william E. Borah,
wife of the senator, at her Boise
(Idaho) home.
The serum, hastily made up by
the United States public health
service at Washington, is due to
reach Boise at 2:35 a. m. Saturday.
The serum shipment was manu-
featured late Thursday by govern
ment scientists after receipt of a
telegram from Mrs. Borahs ply
sician that he had diagnosed her
illness as psittacosis-the dangerous
malady which humans contract
from parrots and which appeared
in epidemic form on the Atlantic
seaboard in 1880.
The airmail plane bearing the
serum passed through Chicago
shortly after midnight and was due
to arrive at Salt Lake City late to-
day.
Instructions for treatment of Mrs.
Borah were telegraphed her ply
sician by the Washington scientists,
many of whom contracted the
disease in their efforts to fight the
1880 plague.
DR.. Charles Armstrong of the
health service gave his blood to
form the base of the serum. He was
afflicted with the fever during his
experiments in studying the disease.
but recovered after physicians had
despaired of saving his life.
