Donald B. Armstrong, of Massachu etts, advocated community health drives to discover tuberculosis, declaring too much responsibility hns been placed upon a small group of workers in most states. - "When we appreciate that man emerged from his more primitive, ape like ancestors and that this is as noth ing compared to the fifty or one hun dred million years during which living forms have evolved, it is conceivable how important may be the consideration of ; tuberculosis from the broader time concept," said Lieutenant J. P. Giv lor, of New Haven. , Dr. Julius DworothsTty surprised the convention by declaring after several years of study he Is convinced that the j' former conviction that tuberculosis of tile larynx is a nopc(ess complication, Is" duo chiefly to a faulty classification of cases. The seriousness of this corn- l, plication noes not depend as mucn on me extent as on tnc cnarncicr oi mc lesion. Sub-acute cases, under proper treatment, present a hopeful outlook. ' "Every epidemic lias a home." Dr. 'Simon Flexuer. of the Rockefeller In stitute, declared Inst night in his presi dential address before the Congress of Physicians and Surgeons. "In the case nf influenza, it is not Snain. but the Hussian border of Turkestan from which all the influenza epidemics have started. "The new task of a revolutionized medical profession is to catch these cpi-J demies at their source. we must organize a service to clear up these Mtjs," Tn pnmnnrinir the two recent epi demics. Doctor Flexner said infantile paralysis was made Inconsiderable -by thr Inrnnds mnde by the "Spanish flu." Influenza caused the greatest-number of deaths in the same space of time than any epidemic we know, he declared.

Philadel phlans taking n leading part today in a symposium of the American Surgical Association on rehabilitation of human wreckage of war learned that; Amer ican procedure is fully nbreast of the most advanced practice ii Europe. Sir Robert Jones, of Liverpool, and Colonel Anton De Page, of the Belgian medical corps, participated in the dis cussion. Dr. Robert G. Le Conte reported upon results attending the delayed or late extraction of Intro-thoracic pro- jcctilcs, while Dr. ..Charles H. Frazicr discussed surgical problems encountered in the reconstruction of peripheral nerve injuries. Salvage of the handby plastic reconstruction was the topic of Dr. John B. Roberts, also of Philadelphia. Doctor Muskowitz. of New York, snid nature wns n wonderful ally in operative cases of chronic empyema where special care was bestowed upon the sterilization of the wound. Blood Tests in Pneumonja Dr. Solomon Soils Cohen, of Phil adelphia, in describing before the As sociation of American Physicians i new method for testing pneumonia im mnnltv bv means of the "whole blood, declared the bactericidal action of the latter may readily be measured and that it is a far more sensitive indicator of Immunity to pneumococcal infec tion that the agglutination test; non pathogenic organisms arc killed by the whole blood which possesses bacterici dal properties wanting after coagula tion. , Dr. C. O. Bass said analysis of blood examination of more than 30,000 people living in Mississippi, in the most malarious regions of the United States showed malaria much more prev alent in children thnn in adults. The highest point is readied at seven years. The greater relative frequency of ma laria in children is indicated by the fact that more than 50 per cent of all the malaria found was in persons under twenty years of age. Dr. Alfred Stengel reported excel lent results attained in the treatment of eight cases of lobar pneumonia by Intravenous injections of serum from recently recovered cases of pneumonia. Trench Fover'a Persistence Little has been said' thus far, Dr. It. D. Rudolf told the convention, about a chronic form of trench fever, which may last for months and even years, with a great tendency to develop into nu acute attack if the patient under goes any strain due to hard work, physical or mental, producing pains in various parts of the body, anemia and heart disturbances. Many erro neously diagnosed affections really are trench fever still lurking in the system of ex-fighting men and which may stay with them Indefinitely. The, suggestion of Dr. Simon Flexner, head of the Rockefeller Institute, in his annual address last night, that public officials who fail to keep streets clean and enforce health laws in large cities, shall be held personally accountable by voters for epidemics in their communi ties, caused a mild sensation among delegates to tho Medico-Surgical Con gress. One application of the personal lia bility indictment, Dr. Flexner said, would go further toward eliminating slums than any amount of highbrow appeals on moral grounds. 1'noTori.Avs II 1MRO FRONT tT. i uUtAltD AVK.

(By A. P.) Influenza and pneumonia are no more to bo feared than a boll on the back of the neck, according to Dr. Charles II. Duncan, one of the founders of the Volunteer Hospital, who, in an address hero today before the convention of the Allied Medical Associations of America, described his method of combating Spanish influenza by means of "Immu nizing a patient to his own poison." Upon 240 patients ill with pneumonia and influenza last winter Doctor Dun can said, ho, had used the treatment "without a Rlnglc fatality or any com plications. "Briefly," the physician said, "I take one drachm of mucus from tho Infected area and pasteurize it lu one ounce of filtered water where it remains several hours. One cubic centimeter of this toxin, injected subeutancously, will effect a spontaneous cure of Spanish In fluenza, pneumonia, catarrh, or any similar localized infection. It will stop any cough, except tuberculosis, inside of twenty-four hours." Doctor Duncnti declared that his dis covery was based upon his observation of a dog licking n sore paw. ' He said the dog, by increasing germs of resist ance at the place of infection brought about a natural healjng and the method he employed was similar in that it in creased the leucocytes or white corpus- w.i iii uiuun mm ini-se in turn car ried the poisons out of the human sys tem. Dr. George F. Laldlow, professor of the history of medicine and diagnosis at Flower Hospital) in discussing the Duncan method, fcaid that the dis coverer "has solved a problem that has been germinating in medicine for 2000 3 cars. Doctor Duncan's vork marks the conclusion of Pasteur, Koch and Wright and is a decided step forward in the regular development of bacterial therapy.' Doctor Duncan said that by taking tho poison from a boil and subjecting it to his process and injecting the sterilized product into a patient's body he not only cured him of the boil -fTut rendered him immune against a repeti tion of such afflictions. $2,000,000 Invested In Oil Leases .
