DR.. Francis Tries
Second" "Cure" for
Relapsi',g Fever
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. September 3-Dr
Edward Francis of the Public Health
Service took new treatment yester-
day for relapsing fever, convinced after
using his body as a test tube that his
original treatment is unsuccessful
DR.. Francis entered Baltimore hos
pital last June, determined to prove
the worth or uselessness Of individual
treatments. ~
Philosophical about his ailment,
contracted while handling baby ticks
in his laboratory, he welcomed it as
an opportunity.
Most people, he said, took any or
all treatments offered and on recov-
cry a particular treatment could not
be credited.
He tried one tres' .ent for two
months, but it did little good in halt
ing the disease. Dr. Francis was con-
vinced that another method should
be tried.
Starting the new treatment, he said
he would continue with it until Its
worth is proven. He should have
plenty OF time to determine its value,
for relapsing fever ordinarily includes
dozen relapses. He has had seven
or eight.
The disease itself rarely is fatal
and is not nearly as bad as others DR..
Francis has contracted in laboratory
work, such as tularaemia, or rabbit
fever, which he discovered; undulant
or malta, fever, and psittacosis, or
parrot fever.
