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.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. (,T)

per and be denied the privilege ot
voting.

that action had been taken In 13
states to deny the vote to persona on

human lives.
The President told of a conference
he had yesterday with Relief Admin
istrator Harry L. Hopklna and two of
hla assistants, who described two
small farm relief projects in West
Virginia and Arkansas.
The West Virginia project involve
the transfer to small farms of about
150 families of miners who have been
out of work for many years and are
now on relief.
In Arkansas, the President aald,
pernons on relief were being put on
small farms costing approximately
1 .500.
Slum clearance and development of
suburban settlements were described
by the President aa Important devel
opments In his program to get rid of
relief and give people a chance to
start over.
Asked if the government would con
tribute to unemployment Insurance,
for which legislation la now being
worked out by Mr. Roosevelt's eco
nomic security committee, the Presi
dent said tha committee waa study.
ing various plans, one of which called
for the government to pay the cost
of running the Insurance plan.
The President added, however, he
