Duncan's vaccine, claimed to cure in fluenza, pneumonia, catarrh and simi lar lnryngologicnl discaes. Dr. Henry Beates, Jr., said; "Entirely too many premature con clusions arc made in such mntters. The methods may nnd may not be good, but before indorsing it, I should have n be pretty sure of its merits. All I know of the matter is what I have read. I have seen plenty of patients get entirely well, nfter having had the influenza. rrl, report sas tlint -ill enses were successfully treated, but each of these enscs might hnve been mere chance. The fact that the patients itcovcred is no positive proof of Uie emcieucj oi iuc method." "The method is no new one," said Dr. Louis M. Go'den, a widely known authority. "We have been experi menting with vaccines for some jears, and have obtained remarkably success ful results. So far as the cure of in fluenza, though, I think it best to be noncommittal upon the subject until it has proved itself." . Army phjsicians who attended the meeting ot tno rminueipiim Medical j,ub nst jght at the llellcvue Strat foid were of the opinion that the vac cine was worthless. In Atlantic City a great dcnl of skep ticism -wns evinced by men of the pro fession with respect to the alleged "cure. The geneinl impression was thnt the Duncan -Wallace "cure" has been tried a number of times and proved a fniluie. It is claimed that Dr. Simon Flexncr, of New York, head of the Hockefeller Institute, was awnre of the so-called "cure" when he said before the Congiess of Phjsicinns nnd Surgeons nt Atlantic City on Monday last that the medical profession is still in the dark as to the prevention of n repetition of last fall's wave of denth.
