GREAT SACRIFICES
SELF-POISONING IV THE
INTEREST OK HUMANITY
A German Scientist Swallowed Chol
era Ilacilll to Determine Mooted
Point aiul Proved That the Alimen
tary Tract Is Proof Against Tton
History of Uie Discovery of the
Antl-Scptlc Principle, and of the
"Yellow Fever Mosquito."
On the 7th day of October, in the
year J8H2, science witnessed an aot
of self-devotion which religion and
patriotism have Indeed often equaled,
but which they have never excelled.
Cholera Germs Swallowed.
There was at that time In Germany
a scientist called Max von Petten
knfer. He was one of the founder
of the science of hygiene. After a
long life given to the study vt venti
lation, sanitation, and other depart
ments of his specialty, he had become
Interested In cholera.
The question was whether cholera
could be transmitted by Its bacilli lit
the absence of other causes. The
only way to settle this question was to
perform the experiment. Petten
kofer performed It on himself.
On the day mentioned, In the pres
ence of witnesses. Pettenkofer swal
lowed a biassful of llqquld containing
a large and active "culture" of chol
er bacilli. His life. In all probabil
ity would have been Uie penalty
which he would have been obliged to
pay for the "success" of his experi
ment. Foitunately, the result was
such as to Indicate that the HUle
lightly curved organisms of cholera
need come assistance In carrying on
their work. Pettenkofer survived.
He afterward said:
"Tho cholera liquid tasted like the
purest water. Some of my friends
were concerned for me, and asked
that if I were determined that the
experiment should be made that they
might be allowed to sacrifice them
selves in place of their old teacher.
But I wished to act according to the
old maxim. Flat experlmentum in
corpdie Vlll ('Let-- experiments be
made on bodies that are worthless').
"I have even- fight to consider
that ny body Is worthless. I am
74 years old, I have suffered for
years from glycosuria. I have not
Blngle tooth left. Even If the experi
ment took away my life, I should
look death calmly In the fare. For
It would be no thoughtless and cow
ardly suicide. I should die in the
service as a solller on the field of
battle.
"Health tnd life, as I have often
said, are very high earthly gifts, but
thv are not the highest for man. The
man who wills to stand higher than
nn animal must he ready to sacrifice
even life and health for a higher.
Ideal good."
Further than Pettenkofer Tt la, of
course, Impossible for any one to
go. Hut his spirit Is the spirit that
Roosevelt seems to be having plen
ty of troublo to fight off a third term.
There Is a reason.
Tertilv surelv Is a big factor In na
tional Dolltlcs. This because of his
broad-mindedness and great popular
itv.

SHIRTS
animates thousand upon thousands
of scientific men In both hemispheres
arid drives them ever onward to the
highest possibilities In their natures.
Kevlor as a JYn-mne Teller.
The world has seen the astronomer
Kepler, who wonderfully enlarged
the boundaries of Its knowledge,
practising astrology and fortur.e-tell-Ing
in order to keep himself from
starvation.
It has seen Hersche polishing the
Yens of his telescope with his own
bare hands, and, because to leave th.
work unfinished would be to spoil It,
"persisting at h task for It hours
at a stretch, while his sister at meal
time put morsels of food In his
mouth and he continued his labor
without Interruption.
Discovery Anti-Septic Principles.
Something, too, should be said of
the English surgeon, Joseph Lister,
exposing himself constantly to the
contagion from wounds and sores,
and finally discovering the antiseptic
principles which have revolutionized
surgery, and which have made It
practically unnecessary that anybody
else should expose himself to such
dangers. It must be remembered
that when Lord Lister made' his ex
periments the safeguards of sterillza
tlon, now a medical commonplace,
were uatterly unknown. What we
now do safely because of his dis
coveries Linter did at risk of his life.
And something should be said of
a man like Professor Campbell, of
the University of Michigan, who lost
both his eyes in an experiment In
which he passed oxygen and hydro
gen over palladium black, but per
sisted In his studies, and has since
risen to the highest honors.
Discovery Yellow Fever Mosqnlto.
Tht spirit of all these men, how
ever, and of all their worthy fellow
laborers, can be surmised, If not un
derstood, by looking at the single lire
of one young Baltimore doctor.
In the clinical amphitheater at
Johns Hopkins, In the city of Baltl- !
more, there Is a tablet which reads: i
In Memory of ' j
JESSE WII.LIAMS LAZEAR. I
This tablet Is there to do honor to j
a noble soul, and to Indicate to the
young men who day by day gase at
It that Lasrnr has preceded them In
the path it may some time be their
duty to tread.
Iasear grew up In Baltimore, tcok
his doctor's degree at Columbia, be
came a member of the medical staff
of Johns Hopkins, married, fettled
down and began practicing.
But in 1900 yellow fever called him
to Cuba. His fate beckoned to him.
He became an assistant surgeon In
the United States army. He became
one of the little group of unsurpas
sable heroes who, under the memor
able !eidershp of Major Reed, ex
posed themselve to the stings of infection-laden
mosquitoes In order to
demonstrate the truth or the falsity
of the theory that the disease was
transmitted by mosquitoes, and by
tncsqultoes only.
But yellow fever was not transmit
ted through clothing or through air.
The - mosquito experiments were the
experiments that really penetrated to
the secret. James Carroll came back
from them an Invalid for life. Jesse
Lnzear did not come back at all..
He was working In the Lua.Antnins.
hospital, and was v expecting n visit
from his wife and children, whom he
had left In Baltimore, and from whom
he could not bear to bo parted. Be
fore they could arrive, the time for
his experiment had come.' He allow
ed a mosquito to alight on his hand,
to drink Its . fill, and to leave Its virus
In his veins. Twelve days later he
was dead. His wife and children had
not come. He was 84 years old.
When his memorial tablet was un
veiled It bore this statement. '
"Assistant Surgeon Lazear was the
first person to produce an undoubted
enso of experimental yellow fever
with the mosquito, and It was he who
first worked out the key to our pres
ent knowledge that we can control
this devastating disease, which has
been Justly designated the plague of
the American continent."

He owned that his own courage ut
terly failed him to carry out the
agreement to kill himself, and hoped
that he would be hung for killing his
wife. The most rlngular develop
ment of fheaffalr is that the autopsy
disclosed that Mrs. Wardell was un
qnertlon.ibly dead before beins shot,
as the result of poison which she
took to carrv out the agreement.
Now the problem Is, What can be
done with Wardell, since he did not

The Biggest fthid of a Change
that Ever Happened to Any Magazine
Has Happened! This Month to
THE SCRAP BOOH tor July la Issued In two sections two complete magazines, each
with Its own cover and Its own table of contents. One of these sections ts an ALL
ILLUSTRATED mnnawlne I iho offier is an ALL-FICTION magatlne. Each Is a mammoth maga
tine In Itself. The one presents an overwhelming array of human Interest articles and
Illustrations t the other an enormous tonnage of fiction 160 pages of absorbing stories.
Ten yean ago 1 created a new type of magaiine the ALL-FICTION magazine. Now I am crea'ting another
distinct type the Al.I.-II.Ll'STRA'fED magazine. This is the age of specialization. The conventional magazine,
with its smattering of illustrations and its smattering of fiction and its smattering of special articles, doesn't contain
enough of anyone thing to make it satisfying. The ALL-FICTION magazine and the ALL-ILLUSTRATED
magazine, joined together as a unit, strengthen each other, and make something really big and forceful and convincing.
The Only Way to Know a Thing is to Try It
The two-section magazine . idea it brand-new to the world. . It it not quite new with me, however, as I have
given it, at odd times, four or five years of thought. It first came into my mind in response to a desire to couple, in
some way, the strength of the all-fiction magazine with the illustrated features of the conventional magazine. It has
been a difficult problem to work out. Now that the idea is perfected, I wish to see what there is in it It looks to
me to be very good, but the only way to know a thing is to try it.
Two Magazines for a QuarterEasy Money
The price of this two-part magazine is twenty-five cents, which is equal to twelve
and one-half cents a niiaz7ne. Most magazines which were selling at ten cents
bmve been advanced to Sfteen cents. THE SCRAP BOOK in two parts means two
magazines for twenty-five cents against thirty cents for two Sfteen cent magazines.
