proStigmin for myasthenia pravis,
disease characterized by extreme mus
Gle weakness. The other was the use
Of quinine for myotonia, a contrasting
! condition characterized by muscular
spaSms and rigidity. The contrast be-
tween these two diseases was accentu-
ated by the discovery that prostigmin
exaggerates the rigidity and myotonia
| and quinine the weakness Of myas-
thenia gravis.
Five victims of the latter disease
were restored to complete activity.
In four cases, however, prostigmin
seemed to lose its effects after a few
months, and larger doses made the
weakness more pronounced. The
spasms and rigidity of myotonia, they
found, can be kept under perfect
control so long as quinine is circu-
lating in the system When it Is
withheld the difficulty returns with
in "a hours.
Favorable results with a serum In
treatment of the acute infection fol-
| lowing childbirth were reported by
DR.. Abraham F. Lash of Chicago.
The infection is caused by hemoly-
tic Streptococcus. DR.. Lash found
that these bacteria produce a toxin
similar to that produced by the Or
ganlsms that cause diphtheria and
scarlet fever. The serum was pre-
pared by immunizing horses with the
toxin and the organisms taken from
women suffering from the infection.
BY use of the serum he was able to
reduce the death rate more than go
per cent. In order to have anv
value, he stressed, the serum must
be given early, since the infection
rapidly passes into generalized peri
tonitis, on. which the new remedy has
no effect.
A rapid, simple and economical
test for pregnancy was described by
Drs. John Huberman and Howard
1sraeloff of Newark, N. j. It consists
IN Injection of one of the hormones
present during pregnancy under the
SKIN OF the forearm. II there is no
reaction the test is considered posi-
tive for pregnancy. II the skin be-
comes red and inhamed the result
Is considered negative This test, first
originated by two Ohio DOCTORS proved
accurate in 80 cases out of 100.
Every year there are 1000, 900 cases
OF gonorrhea in the United States, it
was reported by DR.. Raymond A.
Vonderlehr of the Public Health
Service. Government statistics. he
said, show that the highest rates are
IN the smaller cities and the lowest in
the large cities and rural areas.
group OF blood disorders wholly
refractory to treatment was reported
by DR.. Cornelius P. Rhoads Of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search. The condition OF refractory
anemia," DR.. Rhoads said Is COM
blnatlon of several diseases. Study
IN 100 cases of the bone marrow, in
which the blood cells are formed,
showed that four disorders could be
dlstinguished-hardening of the mar
row, overproduction of normal cells,
and both overproduction and under
production of immature cells. All
these conditions might be brought
ABOUT, ne said, by exposure to certain
chemicals. All the customary treat
ments for anemia have failed, but
sometimes case seems to clear up of
itself.

Sacramento's lead in the Pacific
Coast league was sliced to one and
one-half games, the closest margin
in weeks, today as the Solons ran
into unexpected opposition at Port
land and the second place San
Francisco Seals found new lease
of life in a series against the
tailend Missions.
Opening their series with Port
land one day late, on account of
rain Tuesday, the pacesetters suf-
fered a 5-2 defeat last ngiht.
Bill Posedel, young highlander
who had a trial with Cincinnati
this spring, scattered nine hits to
stop the st. Louis farm boys. The
Beavers punched their seven hits
off Tom Seats in mid-game to win.
The Seals scored their second
straight win over the Missions
with a 81 victory.
Young Bob Cole neld the Reds
to six hits and shut them out
after the second. He faltered in
the ninth and Win Ballou came
in to keep the Reds from scoring.
The Seals won the battle in the
third on hits by Monzo, Cole, Jen-
nings and Holder, and Boss in
field out. Leroy Hermann was the
loser
San Diego defeated the Angels,
40. All the scoring came in the
fourth inning, with Jimmy Reese's
homer driving in two runs and Will
