Paris. Dec. 20. What Is regarded as
a certain remedy for effecting at least
a partial cure for general paralysis,
hitherto Incurable, was announced today
by three French physicians. Professor Lc
vadatl, bacteriologist of the Pasteur In.
stltute; Dr. Auguste Marie, a leading
specialist of the state mental depart
ment, and Dr. De Martel, one of the
leading surgeons. 'The treatment con
sists of the Injection of Dr. Ehrllchs
salvarsan serum into the brain.
Professor Levadatl In describing It,
said:
"We injected Into a rabbit's brain the
strongest possible dose of salvarsan,
which la seven centigrams of the serum
to each kilogram of the animal's weight.
One hour after inoculation the rabbit
was bled and the resultant serum was
heated for three quarters of an hour at
a temperature of C6 degrees centigrade.
'Liquid Bathes Brain.
"The first test was made on a pa
tient on December 1, who had beer,
stricken with general paralysis on April
1 last. Dr. De Martel trepanned his
skull and two small holes were, bored
into the cranium box. Through each
aperture Dr. Marie and myself placed
five cubic centimetres' of this serum.
The needles were directed under the
brain envelope so that the cerebral mat
ter was bathed with the liquid.
"A few hours later the patient de
veloped convulsions and for three hours
a high temperature was the chief symp
tom. On the night of December 4. the
patient began to quiet down and the
next day he was perfectly quiet, his
mind was collected and he was able to
read for the first time in many months.
"The other example was still more
striking. The patient had been stricken
with general paralysis in 1903 and at the
time we undertook the treatment was
scarcely able to speak and suffered
mental delusions. The reaction on this
patient lasted five days but the follow
ing day all symptoms of mental disorder
had disappeared and his condition wrs
greatly improved in every way. He now
Is in excellent condition with the ex
ception of his eyesight. This we have
been unable to remedy as yet.
"Although the inaction of serum pro
voked an Intense cerebral reaction, I
am confident that this reaction is asso
ciated with the microbe killing effect of
the serum which results In the sterili
sation of the brain."

BOYS AND GIRLS ARE
ASKED NOT TO FORGET
CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS
The boys and gins of Portland
schools are asked not to forget the "ReJ
Stocking" Christmas planned for 400
boys and girls' by the People's Institute.
These are little folks who cannot hang
up their stockings at home with any
assurance that they will be filled. They
are little folks who will be gathered
from all' over the city, to bring them
within the radios of the Christmas cheer
that will be disseminated at the big
"Ked Stocking" party to be given De
cember 30 at the Trinity church house.
Ked stockings may be obtained e,ithcr
from Miss Prlchard at the People's In
stitute, Fourth and Burnslde (Telephone
Main 1871), or at The Journal offica.
They are to be filled, having In mind
some little boy or girl and when filled
marked on the outside with information
that will show whether the stocking is
Intended for a boy or girl, and what
age.
Miss Prichard says every boy and girl
who fills a stocking will be a "Christ
mas fairy doing good," and she thinks,
and so does The Journal, that It is a
fine way to help celebrate Christmas.

they put up when the Injunctions vera
granted, was hailed by the attorney
general as a decided victory for thtt
state.
"The two-cent law and tho minimum
freight rate law became effective In
1907." said Barker, "but the railroads
deprived the people of Missouri from
enjoying the benefits-of reduced fars
by obtaining injunctions. They contin
ued to charge the old high rates while
the case lingered In the courts, ar.d t
is ipnly fair that every cent of the ex
cess fares they collected be returned
to the people of the state."
Arguing before Judge Mcpherson, the
railroads expressed the belief that
thousands of suits for small amounts
would be started all over the state of
Missouri and that In many cases the
trial costs would exceed the amount
Involved.
Attorney General Barker said tonight
that he believes he is the proper of
ficial to sue In behalf of all of the
people of the state, because It was
the attorney general that was enjoined
rrom enforcing tne law when it was
first passed. '
Tfy virtually consolidating the case
of thousands of Mlssourians against
the roads, he believes the suits may be
settled more quickly and at the small
est possible cost.
Barker estimates tnat the railroads
exacted 18.000,000 illegally from pas
sengers and $10,000,000 from shippers

BASKETS FILLED WITH
GROCERIES, CLOTHING
AS WELCOME AS MONEY
There are many families who desire
to pack Christmas baskets for others
not so fortunate as they. There are
many who do not have money to give
but have other things that are worth
as much or more than money to the
needy. The Salvation Army and the
Volunteers of America are sending out
Christmas baskets and their work is
worthy of cordial cooperation.
Individual requests reach this office.
and it is possible frequently to bring
those who desire to give in touch with
those who need. During the week fuel
has been gotten In this way to a num
ber of families. Groceries have been
sent to the hungry, clothing has been
secured, and shoes, for both children
and adults.
One contributor brought canned pine
apples, rolled oats, condensed milk and
mince meat, which promptly went to a
family needing Just such things. About
the Cbirstmas exchange desk last night
were 6 quarts of canned fruit, packages
of garments and four cases, each con
taining four dozen cans of salmon, con
tributed by Charles Burkhart of the
North Pacific Fisheries. There is no
need that in Portland any should be
cold or hungry, or have the sense of
being friendless, at this Christmas time,
and The Journal Is glad to be of serv
ice in getting the contributions to those
who are In need.
