It has been tried In four hundred cases with only four failures to cure, and those four were in ex tremis when first treated. And, in nmny inatances, with pneumonia traveled its brother assassin, ty phold fever. It has been tried out in a new, raw country where pneu monia comes at its most violent and collects its heaviest death toll, but. even under these extreme condi ently proved. tions, it has been tried and appar Broadly the remedy Is simple. A culture of the germs in a patient are taken. From each a vac cine is developed, and an anti-toxin, made by mix ing the vaccines in the exact proportions in which the germs are found in the body, is injected in very large doses. Moderate doses are regarded as ineffectual. merely serving to further entrench the causitive germs. But, by this remedy, they are not left standing roon. They are cleansed from the body as with a hose. The three germs which combine to kill pn ) monia patients are pneumococcus, the direct cause of pneu monia; staphylococ. cus, which is respon sible for localized pustules and ab cesses; and strepto coccus. which causes erysipelas and blood polsoning and is ever ready to attack the weakened hu inan structure. Each of these germs de. velopi a metabolic fluid which can be transformed into an anti-toxin. As the (loctors put it, the remnedy Is auto-geni ouls.

Once the anti-tox in was adminiistered, the germs did not ha-e a gno1t of a Chalice. Tis waly to In et [ineuimnia's swift thrutst is the dlisc overy of' Drt. Atugttst Francis Schafer-, a counitry prattitionmer of IUnikersfield, California. If Drm. Sc hafer had been in Paris, instead of an oil town in the depths11 of Califotnla, we would have beti elect rIfled by his discovery- t wo year-s ago. As it is, ho waited until lhe could bring It forth with its recomrd of two thousand eases before he even took into his confIdence the nearest medical socIety. Without those two thousand eases doc totrs would have been free to doubt. With them lie h~as met the professional mrequirement of an in fallible remedy. How htas he done it ? H ow could a country doc tor discover wuhat all the laboratories of Europe have failed to reveal? These at-e natur-al qlues tions. lUut it was not a fluke. The discovery was not made by necident. Dr-. Schafer studIed dis ease germs dliligently fot ten y-ears and dleveloped a laboratory not matched In the hospitals of San Fr aneisto befor-e lie injected hIs anti-toxin into a human being. Then he trIed It on himself to make sure that it was harmless. He is a scientIflc student, with a thorough knowledge of medicine and surgery. Hie would hav-e worked out his theo rics anywhiere. The accident lay in the fact that he lived In Bakersfild. The Pneumonia Test. N~o more severe test could have beenu given the anti-toxin than Bakersfleld has afforded In the past two years. in that district pneumonia accom panies most diseases, ofteni in the duplex fot-t In ten per cent. of thie cases abscesses develop in the lung, or pus1 accumulates In the pleural cavity. Moreover, it comes swiftly and strikes suddenly. The oil rushes have built towns In a night. Rapid change, exposure nind bad water have been fol lowed by typ~hoid and pneuimonia. Men hav-e gone to bed feeling badly and nev-er seen the end~ of the tiext day. They have fallen in the streets as if ricen~t with a plague. But for- twvo year-s now nhost of the physicians in that part of the country have been inoeulatinug their patients wvithi serum ride~~ld by Drt.

After some dimculty he was able to persuade the San Francisco Medical Society to invite lir. Schafer to deliver an address. The facts of Dr. Schafer's cures were unbeliev able, but the audience could not help being ini pressed by the intense, dynamic aspect of the man. They might doubt the possibility, but they could not doubt Dr. Schafer's earnestness. Against their will they had to take him seriously. When the meeting closed, they arranged for a clinic at the Southern Pacific Hospital, where Dr. Schafer, in the presence of the chief surgeons of the biggest hospitals, agreed to cure every case that was brought before him. He accepted them as they came and the worst was reported cured in eight days. In other words, he was given a trial before a competent jury, and proved his case. At the Pebruary meeting of the San Francisco .\Medical Society Dr. Schafer was to speak at length and the hall was crowded,'but there were many physicians present who had not had a first hand opportunity to study Dr. Schafer's methods and, although lie was supported by men whose medical reputations were above reproach, they refused to permit the society to endorse him. They held that it was a matter for each member to work out in his own practice. The address was never delivered, but, meanwhile, lives were being saved every day by the use of the anti-toxin. During that trying month in San Francisco Dr. Schafer was careful'not to advance a single claim. He merely showed the results of his experiments and let thenm speak for themselves. To medical men he was quite open, but a mystery surrounded him because lhe refused to talk for publication. lie refused because he felt the delicacy of his po sition. As lhe himself expressed it, he was "the victim of the magnitude of actual accomplish menit." It would have been very easy for him to have acquiiredl the r-eputation of a charlatan. But he is entirely saved from that by the fact that lie has been furinishin~g his anti-toxin frce from the beginning. Far from making money out of his discoveries, he has sunk his small fortune of $40, 000 into his laboratory work andl at one time, about five years ago, just befoire lie clinched his discoveries, ho went dleeply into debt. l~ven at this is being written, he is prep~aring three hun dlredl samples of his serums which are to be sent to leading physicians and surgeons in all parts of the United States. With them Dr. Schafer has agreed to leave the final verdict as to the value of his rceimediles. -- Other Tests. Pneutmonia is not the only disease Dr. Schafer has cured, but it has attracted most attention on account of its seeming infallibility. Back of the remedies lies a new theory of medicine. Its pirin ciple is revolutionary, It disregards many cher ished medlical ideas. But it gets results. Little as they have been able to understand it, many of the best physicians and surgeons in San Francisco have recommended it. "Regardless of all doubts and theories," said D~r. W. B. Coffey, the Southern Pacific surgeon, "I have seen real men who have been made well by It:" Ojther- diseases In which D~r. Schafer has brought permanent cures with his anti-toxins are scarlet fever, rheumatism, diphtheria, typhoid fever, dys entery, erysipelaa, tetanus and certain forms of tuberculosis. With that list let us stop and take breath. Al togcther' the various anti-toxins D~r. Schafer has prodluced have been used in 4.500 cases with only ten deaths, Of the 150 people treated in San Fran cisco only three (lied. This comes pretty nearly beIng a panacea. Do yout see why Dri. Schafer is so canny with his re marks? Sup1'ose lie bad announced be could cure anything. 110r would have been promptly diered ited. lBut when you 'omio iighit dowvn to It. D~r. Schrfer is con:vinced that he can cure anything. TIte only disease he has encounter-ed in his prac ltce wvhich he has not been able to cure entirely is tuberculozls. lint even that has yielded, except It is l.'r.
