Tho Orel Irndn importation of antl-toxlne, the new remedy for diphtheria, litis been ro reived lu New York, and it haa been placed exclusively in tlio hands ol physicians having thn most lined for II la their prnctloe. It was obtained In Germany by a New York Hrm at great expense nnd with much difficulty. 'I he supply upponra to be fur too mull fur the de mand, Thn productlon'of the scrum ho been mis dertnkan by the New York hoard of health, the first Inoculations having been made over aoveii week ago, tho ii'ijccb being 14 horses and several other animal. From three to live mouths are required lor the com pletion ol the aeries ot Injections which iiinkn thn horse proof agninst tho disease, and cause Iho lull development In the blood serum of Iho substance that overcomes or neutralizes the dlphtheretic poison. It I prolmblnthn New York board will have a supply of ll own mnnufucturu early In January. 'i hn Importance of such a remedy I at tested by thn fact that during the census year tho nuiuliiir ol person who died of diphtheria In this country was :IH,M I, and ttleru were also nearly 1M.000 deaths ascribed lo croup. A reaction against the unmeasured clalo.s advanced for tho curative effects of I'rof. llchrliig's dipthvrlu serum Is setting it rather seriously. Tho most signlllcnut utterances In this reepect was made nl a meeting Wednes day last ol the Berlin Medical soclotv. when Jir. Huns maun, an assistant In I'rof. Vlr 'cliow'a pathological institute, as mouthpiece 01 I'rof. Vlrehow himself, sharply criticised In detull I'rof. llchrliig's serum therapeutics' He denied that the serum Immunize human beings and declared Hint no sufficient prool bad been procured respecting II curative properties. Furthermore llr. Hahnemann claimed that the effect of serum treatment iu many cue, wa dangnruu to health, and even to life. The statistics thus fur obtain able of the results of the serum treatment be pronounced to be unreliable and often mis leading. The lecture wa received with great applause Irom one part of the audience and with hisses from the other part, The extension of the serum trontment to other cities, at home and abroad, however. Is reported to be going on steadily, nud the chemical work at Hoeshst, near Fraukfort where the serum I mnuuluctured, have been enlarged In order to meet the demand for Iho serum. Dr. G. II. K. Nuttall, a young American physician, who I now assistant professor of the hygienic Institute ut Iter fin. lu view of tho fact that hi share of thn discovery of Iho serum treatment ha not apparently been clearly understood, baa made the following tuteiuent. He studied in 1HH7 and 1H8H under I'rof. Flugge, at Bresluu, and nt-Got-tlugen, and while pursuing experiment in the laboratories, he made certain discoveries which enulded him to demonstrate for the llrtt time that blood possesses bacteriological properties. He published the result of those researches, among which wa tbo tact tbat the blood ot an Immunized aheep destroyed mora antbax or bacilli than the blood of non-Immunized animals. He thus eleatly showed the way which Bebrlng and others subsequently took, and, in Hiint of fact, laid the loundatlon of the present blood serum treatment. Harvard university awarded Nuttall and Boylaton the prize for original re cearcb. Dr. Brlgg and Dr. Pruddln, of New York In an official report, Inform I'reaideut Wilson, of tha Health Board, tbat several prepar ation ol the diphtheria antitoxin bnva been put on the market, and that they have ex amined one or t jvo of them and have found them to be abtolutely worthies.
