fc-f PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON". THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1934 E Vaccine Made From Amni otic Fluid Surrounding Babies Before Birth Has Strange Curative Power. By HOWARD W. BMKKAIT.E , '(Associated Press Science Editor.) BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 18. (P) A nearly 100 per oent preventive for surgery's worst death risk, peritonitis, waa announced, to the American Col lege of Surgeons here today. The preventive la vaccine, called amniotic fluid, and Its discovery came from the study of babies during Cae sarian operation. In these operations, Herbert L. Johnson, M. D., of Boston, noticed that the mothers suffered fewer abdominal adhesions than usual. Traced to Fluid. Several years' study led to virtual certainty that the protection was due to the amniotic fluid which surrounds a child before birth. The aame, or a aim liar fluid, la present In the higher anlmala. Thus the animals would furnish a source for this fluid If It could be used In other than Caesarian surgery. Animal experiments were carried on for years. In the animal wore, Ur. Johnson waa assisted by Dr. Shields Warren and J. Stewart Rooney of Boston. A concentrated fraction of amniotic fluid was developed. Its source toeing cows. Clinical work, the testa on hu man beings, went on under super vision of Dr. Daniel Flake Jones, Dr. Edward L. Young, Jr., Dr. Arthur Ktmpton. Dr. Halsey Loder, Dr. Na thaniel Mason, Dr. Kdward D. Ieon' ard and Dr. Lei and McKlttrlck of Boa ton. Used as Vaccine. About two years ago, Dr. Young, who la aurgeon-ln-chlel of Faulkner hospltAl, conceived the Idea of using the fluid aa a vaoclne In the abdom inal cavity before operations. About 100 cubic centimeters la Injected Into the cavity four to six hours before the operation. Dr. Young demonstrated in clinics today and said that this new surgical measure has reduoed the death rate from peritonitis after bowel resection from 30 per oent to two per cent. A 80 per cent death rate from this cause of peritonitis has therefore been lower than the average. This promises the end of high peri tonitis risk In some of the most dan gerous operations.
