DOCTORS HERE DOUBT
CURE FOR INFLUENZA
Belief Expressed That Vaccine
Will Not Do All That Is
Claimed for It
Philadelphia physicians are skeptical
of the announcement of Dr. Charles II.
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.
Mayor of East Paterson Dies
New York, June 19. Hugo S. Spei
del, first nnd only major of Hast Pnt
erson, N. J., died of apoplexy in his
home shortly before Tuesday midnight.
Incitement over n fire earlier in the
ilny in n home near his own, and at
which lie worked heioienlly to prevent
destruction of the building, is believed
to have cnused the stroke.

STILL AWAITS HIS BRIDE
Collingswood Man Hangs Around
Station and Telegraph Office In Hope
"Charlie" Pulls is anxiously haunting
the telegraph office and the railroad
stntion at Collingswood, N. J., these
dnys waiting for word or sight of the
girl he hopes to marry, Miss Vernlarin
llnrris, of Minneapolis.
He sent her $."0 by postal money order
nfter she wired him she hadn't re
ceived the first fifty he sent. He has
never seen her, having been introduted
by mnil through a matrimonial ngencj
Inst fall, but he has infinite faith in her
sincerity. He just figuratively kicked
himself because he hadn't registered that
first money he sent or asked for a le
ceipt and was more careful in send
ing the second amount.
Fults lives with his sister, Mrs. Aaron
Shooster, 59 Bust Madison avenue, lie
is known ;ns tlie liniKlj" man about
Collingswood" and does everything from
whitewashing cellars to cutting grass.
He and his fiancee were to have been
married at the Methodist parsonage in
Collingswood, but he learned that con
tracting parties must have lived in the
state not less than fortj -eight hours
before they can be married in New Jer
sey. So he has announced the wedding
for Saturday in Elkton, Md.
