Scientists Try
New Methods TO
Give Immunity

Give Immunity
y HERMAN NJ. BUNDEsEN NJ y
IMMUNITY or resistance to
disease varies in different people
at various times. For example, q
child may be given injections early
in life 10 prevent diphtheria. Then,
as the child grows older, this i'm
munity or resistance may grad
ually be lost,
For this reason, It has been ad-
vised that a stimulating or booster
injection Of diphtheria toxoid be
given to children when they reach
five or six years Of age and enter
school.
Other Ways
Efforts have been made TO pro-
duce immunity or resistance IN
ways other than by giving injec-
tions, and Doctor Guy Bousfield OF
England has been seeking ways Of
doing this. At present, the best
method Of producing immunity
against diphtheria is by giving in
jections Of toxoid TO babies under
one year Of age.
However, Doctor Bousheld has
carried out some experiments TO
determine II q preparation taken
by mouth may not be used at
later time, to have booster effect.
He devised a pastille or lozenge Of
fairly firm gelatin, containing tox-
old. This lozenge was tuitably
sweetened and was favored, as
with peppermint.
Daily Doses
Some Of the persons were given
three of the lozenges daily for a
period Of seven days, while others
took only two daily, for seven
Gays. Doctor bousneid also maze
tests to determine if swallowing
the lozenges vas better than suck
ing them.
As result of his experiments,
Doctor Bousfeld thinks that In
both children and grownups who
have been immune to diphtheria In
the past, the use of the lozenges
will serve to increase the resist
snce to diphtheria. However, he
finds that the lozenges must be
sucked slowly and not swallowed
rapidly. There is no unfavorable
reaction to the use Of the lozenges.
Antitoxin Quite Marked
In some instances, he has found
that the amount Of diphtheria an
titoxin produced in the blood 10
quite marked when the lozenges
are employed. He thinks that the
greatest value of this method may
be with muses. or men in the
armed forces in whom it is impor-
tant to avoid general upsets Of any
type such as might be produced BY
the injection of diphtheria toxoid
or toxin antitoxin. Of course. in
children, such reactions are quite
infrequent, and continuance OF the
use Of the injections may be pre-
ferred.
In the prevention Of other dis
eases such as tetanus, Doctor
Bousfield suggests that the use Of
similar pastilles might be found
of value, using tetanus or other
toxoid instead of diphtheria tox.
old, and he states that great deal
of further experimentation vii
be needed to prove definitely thu
value of this method.
