believes be la near the goal. In trac
ing the virulence of the disease and
to discover a check he has Innumerable
mice, guinea pigs, rabbits and mon
keys. A practical antt-toxln will be
brought out as a result of the re
search, It Is hoped.
Dr. Flexner believes that fresh
guinea pigs' serum can destroy all the
germs present, with the Important
provision that the number shall not be
too great The serum may be used aa
an antl.toxln Is near the point of com

cur it is believed that the researches
of Dr. Flexner will assist the medical
profession to a most decided degree
tn taking care of It and In preventing
the usual large percentage of mortal
ity. The beginning of Dr. Flexner1
work was after -the cerebro. spinal
meningitis epidemic during the winter
of 104 and the spring of 1905. In the
period of one epidemic there were
about 4000 cases, The deaths num
bered 2429. The percentage of deaths
was 73.5. The tremendoua fatality
caused scientists all over the world to
take up -the subject of finding a
remedy.
The germ has the remarkable name
of dlploccus Intracellular. Every ex
periment seemed to show that Its life
was short It was also shown that the
germ waa to be found In the nose and '
the pharynx, and hence easily com
municable. It Is found later, however,
that although the germln itself with
out attention might be of short life,'
under certain conditions Its period of
existence was not limited by a few
i months. Cold Is deadly to it
