Deworraic Maly Bellefonte, Pa., August 18, 1922. R s—— EARLY ADMINISTRATION OF ANTITOXIN A SAFEGUARD AGAINST FATALITIES. From the State Health Department. A study of 108 recovered. cases of diphtheria, made by Dr. J. Bruce Mec- Creary, of the State Health Depart- ment, showed that in every instance a doctor was called within the first 24 hours of illness, and in only 19 cases was the diagnosis delayed until the second day. Antitoxin was given im- mediately upon diagnosis. A similar study of 100 fatal cases showed an av- reage delay of 3 days before a physi- cian was called and that 10 patients were not given antitoxin. Dr. McCeary says, “This brings out clearly that time is the vital element in the administration of antitoxin as a curative measure, for our records show that the dosage of antitoxin giv- en was the same in the cases that died and those that recovered. 200,000 units was the largest amount given any individual, and the average ini- tial dose was 10,000 units.” These studies showed the average age at death as three and one-half years which Doctor McCreary believes indicates the necessity of early per- manent protection against the disease by the agent called toxin-antitoxin. “The fact that a large proportion of children under 6 years of age—70 per cent. of them—are liable to take diph- theria makes it necessary to apply the Schick test. After six years of age many children acquire a natural im- munity and the. Schick test should then be used to determine those who need protective doses of toxin-antitox- in,” he continued. Questionnaires were forwarded by the State Health Department to doc- tors attending diphtheria cases and it was on the daia returned that the above studies were made. The State Health Commissioner appreciates the co-operation of the doctors who promptly supplied the information re- quired, whether the case was fatal or recovered. He said, “Throughout the State there is evidence that doctors and local health authorities are doub- ling their efforts to control diphthe- ria. They are keeping a vigilant look- out for the first case that appears in a community, giving antitoxin promptly, and immunizing persons exposed to the disease.” Diphtheria antitoxin is furnished free by the State Health Department. HEAVY WITH NICOTINE. Developing a New Tobacco Plant in Clinton County. A tobacco plant containing about 10 per cent. of nicotine—nearly 20 times the percentage of nicotine in average smoking tobacco—is being developed by Otto Olson, Clinton county farm agent, at the tobacco experimental plots on Great Island, near Lock Haven. ¥ ! The new plant is not intended, how- ever, for the use of smokers, as the experimenters declare a few puffs from a cigar made of the leaves would send the most hardened user of the weed into dreamland. It is intended for an entirely different commercial purpose—the spraying of fruit trees, flowers and vegetables. Tobacco solutions are among the most efficacious mixtures used in kill- ing pests that damage growing plants and trees. It is believed the produc- tion of a tobacco plant of high nicotine content would open a large and profit- able field for tobacco growers of the State, because of the demand for such tobacco and its present scarcity. The new plant differs considerably from the ordinary Havana or broad- leaf varieties. ' The leaf is described as more wrinkled, broader and pos- sessing a grayish cast. As the high percentage of nicotine has been found both in stems and leaves, it is believed virtually all of the plant can be used. i ——— A A ——————— American Motorcar Beats Africa. Train in As one of the sections of the world in which motorcars are being sold in large numbers, South Africa has a pe- culiar interest for American motorists and automobile manufacturers. Cars of American make are especially pop- ular in that country. Dealers appear to be unusually progressive and to have plenty of the progressive spirit so manifest in this country. A motor event which has recently aroused wide interest in South Africa and which has received wide publicity in the press there was an endurance run from Cape Town to Pretoria in an effort to establish a faster record than is made by the mail trains. The test was highly successful. There is no real road between the two capitols; but a thousand odd miles of veldt with all that that im- plies. Over that the motorist follows tracks, ill-defined in places and ill to travel upon always. That a car could be driven over it at such a pace as to beat the mail train was regarded as an impossible feat. The journey was made three hours and forty-eight min- utes under the time consumed by the train. I ———— A Mf A ———_——— Engine Has Three Carburetors. Three carburetors on one engine presented an odd appearance at a French auto show recently and was the subject of much comment. The engine, which is illustrated in the Popular Mechanics Magazire, is a 40 horse power and has six cylinders. When three corburetors are fitted, two of them supply independent groups of cylinders, for high power and speed, while the third supplies all the cylin- ders at low speed, or “loafing range,” as it is called. Thus, if a motor car has an engine with six cylinders, these are divided into two groups of three and one earburetor feeds each group when high speed is desired, or when heavy power is needed, as in hill climbing. The third carburetor feeds all of the cylinders at low speed. —Subscribe for the “Watchman.” Real Estate Transfers. J. Lambert Heath to Albert Moore- head, tract in Rush township; $1. Mose T.
