GC, MO NDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1896-FOURTEEN PAGES USE OF ANTI-TOXIN Dr. Adams Regards It as Invaluable in Diphtheria Cases. oe ee SE WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR SERUM It Has Already Reduced the Death Rate Enormously. — A CAR ‘UL INVESTIGATION a Dr. S. S. Adams, the affending physician at the Children’s Hospital and the Found- ling Hespital, has had considerable per- sonal experience in the of diphtheria anti in, and has made special investi- gations into the question of its value as a remedy for that dread pase. When asked by a Star reporter this morning to give his views on the subject Dr. Adams “In view of the prevalence of diphtheria this at this time, and the gre: that may result from the failur what I believe to be valuable r n its treatment, [ feel it my duty to ive all opposition’ that I may have to interviews for publication. “In the first place I may s in harm use edy ci y that until the int physicians who make pediatrics hajt tically disc so-called eneral compelled to reiy diet and stimulanis. 4 Value of anti-toxin it may at not long since a case of diph- urred in one of the largest wards ‘s Hospital.

If there Is any difference in the severity of the eases included in these reports from those of average diphtheria it is that they em- brace a rather larger proportion of very bad cases than are usually brought to- gether in statist The cases according to the extent of the membrane are groupe as follows: In 50% the tonsils alone are in- volved; in 1397 the tonsils and pharynx, the to! and nose, the pharynx and nose, or all three are affected. cases the larynx was affected, either alone or with x, and nose, one or all. had invaded . as has been alleged, than formerly prevailed, t, as has been alleged, of .d to be diagnosed as fol- | “Even, however, were the type of the sease milder than formerly, the conclu- sions would not be affected thereby, for the cases studied in which anti-toxin was used occurred during the same period as the cases treated without its use. As a matter of fact, the cases in which anti- toxin is not used seem, as a rule, to be of a milder type than those in which it is given; the remedy, being a new one to many physicians, they are inclined to ad- here tc old methods until they have been proved to be worthless, and when the case assumes a graver type (one apparently hopeless under the old methods of treat- ment) anti-toxin is tried. “Was the result of this investigation fa- vorable to the use of anti-toxin?” “As the result of this investigation of 5.- 794 cases, the conclusions of the committee were entirely favorable. The number of cases in which the patients appeared to have been made worse by serum were three, and among these there is only one new case in which the result may fairly be attributed to the injection. The general mortality in the 5,794 cases reported was 12.3 per cent, excluding the cases moribund at the time of injection, or dying within twenty-four hours, it was 8.8 per cent. The most striking. improvement was seen in the cases injected during the first three day: Of 4,120 such cases ‘the mortality was per cent: excluding cases moribund at the time of injection, or dying within twenty- four hours, it was 4.8 per cent. The mor- taity of 1,448 cases injected on or after the fourth day was 27 per cent. A Fine Record. ; “The most convincing argument, and to the minds of the committee, an absolutely unanswerable one in favor of serum ther- apy, is found in the results obtained in the 1.256 laryngeal cases (membranous croup). In one-half of these-recovery took place without operation, in a large proportion of which the symptoms of stenosis were se- vere. Of the 533 cases in which intubation was performed, the mortality was 25.9 per cent, or less than half as great as has ever been reported by any other method of treatment. “The proportion of cases of broncho- pneumonia, 5.9 per cent, is very small, and in striking contrast to results published trem hospital sources. “As against the two or three instances in which the rum is believed to have acted unfavorably upon the heart, might be cited a large number in which there was a d tinct improvement in the heart's action after the serum was injected. There is very little, if any, evidence to show that nephritis was caused in any case by the in- jection of serum. The number of cases of genuine nephritis is remarkably small, the aths from that source numbering but fifteen. The effect of the serum on the nervous system is less marked than upon any other part of the body; paralytic se qulae being recorded in 9.7 per cent of th cases, the reports going to show that the protection afforded by the serum 1s not great unless injections are made very early, “Did the action of the committee meet with the approval of the society? “The report was unanimously adopted, and the committee requested to continue its investigations.” “What did the returns from the District of Columbia show?” In the District. “Acting independently of the committee I prepared a paper, entitled ‘Comparative Results of the Treatment of Dipththeria With and Without its Anti-Toxin in the District of Columbia,’ which I read at the Montreai meeting, and in which I said: “In the prosecution of the work of col- feces the data relative to the treatment o! diphtheria in children, private prac with its anti- ice, in the District of cases of htheria in which > serum was not used formed such a proportion of the whole number that ey have been incorporated in this paper for purposes of comparison. It must be understood that information asked for in the circular was net sought in the latter class of cases. All cases (311) of diphtheria, except ten, officially recorded, occurring in the District of Columbia from January 1, 1895, to April 18, are Meluded in this paper. The exclusion of seven of the ex- ceptional cases was because the bacilli diphtheriae were present without the mem- brane and the injection being used for im- munization, and in the other three it was impossible to obtain any information from two reporters which would enable classification. While the physicians them- ves have furnished the details in the cases treated with serum, the official rec- ords of the health department have been relied upon in the other cases. “During the period named 83 physicians treated cases of diphtheria with anti- toxin. Of these, 71 reported 160 cases in full, while 12, who had treated the remain- ing 16 cases, did not respond. The latter, however, are covered in this report, as sufficient information was gleaned from other sources to warrant proper classifica- tion. During the same time 80 physicians treated 135 cases of diphtheria without using its anti-toxin. A third class of 22 physicians, used the anti-toxin in 56 cases, but did not use it in 38. “During the year ending June 30, 1894, before the introduction of anti-toxin, 432 cases of diphtheria were reported in this District, the average age of those attacked being 4.7 years. There were 172 deaths, the percentage of deaths to cases being 39.8. “During the fifteen and a half months ending April 15, 1896, after the introduc- ticn of anti-toxin, 311 cases of diphtheria were reported, the average age of those at- tacked being 6.23 years. There were seven- ty-three deaths, the percentage of deaths to all cases being 253.44. “During this same period 135 cases were treated without anti-toxin, the aver- age being 5.96 years. There were forty- seven deaths, the percentage of deaths to all s cases-being 34.81, a death rate of only 4.99 per cent less than that when anti- toxin was unknown, the average age of the lents being 4.25 years. “During this period also 176 cases were uted by the injection of anti-toxin, the age age being 6.51 years. There were twenty-six deaths, the percentage of deaths 1 cases receiving the anti-toxin being the average age of the decedents be- ing 4.66 years. There were twenty-two physicians who used anti-toxin in fifty-six cases, but did not use it in thirty-eight during the same period.” Why It Sometimes Fails. n the latter group there were eleven deaths, the death rate being 28.94 per cent; in the former, in which it was generally ad- mitted by the physician reporting that the antl-toxin had been administered because of the failure to obtain results from the usual remedies, there were but fourteen, a percentage of deaths to cases of only even less, it will be noted, than the death rate in the milder cases not so treated. fone of the physicians reported cases in ‘hich the injection of anti-toxin resulted riously to the patient. know of no physician other than Dr. Winters who, after having given the reme- dy a fair trial, has discontinued its use.” “How do you account for the failure of this remedy in certain cases?” ‘There are some cases of the disease which must be recognized as malignant from the very outset, as is frequently the case in other contagious diseases, depend- ing apparently upon the extent of exposure to the contagion or feeble resisting powers of the individual. Such cases may be ex- pected to die in spite of any treatment. Aside from this, failure in cases other than these may be attributed most frequently to delay in its administration, the best results being obtained if it Is given prior to the fourth day, or to its use in insufficient quantities.” The Star reporter having referred to the charge that this remedy is being pushed by {ts manufacturers’ for mercenary purposes, rather than by physicians, Dr. Adams said: “Anti-toxin is not manufactured under any secret formula or under letters pat- ent. Each of the firms now putting it on the market is, of course, undertaking to se- cure the largest possible sale of its own particular brand. The use of the remedy itself is, however, most strongly urged by boards of health and other sanitary au- thorities throughout the country, a few of which have undertaken its manufacture for general distribution, regardless of the circumstances of the patient, while many distribute it without cost to those who are too poor to pay the present market price. “Do you consider the advisability of the use of anti-toxin as a remedy for diphthe- ria still open to question?” “No. It is, in my opinion, the best rem- edy that has ever been used for the relief of this disease. The advisability of its use in a particular case must, of course, be determined by the attending physician, but the responsibility assumed in failing to ad- minister it would seem to me to be much greater than that resulting from its use.” BALTIMORE AND OHIO Plans Completed for the Addition to Camden Station. THE BRANCH LINES ABANDONED Western Connections Which May Be Given Up. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS ees Chief Engineer Manning of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has completed plans for the building of the addition to Camden station, Baltimore, brief mention of which has already been made in The Star. 3t Is proposed to erect at the east side of the station a brick addition, consisting of ladies’ and general waiting rooms, toilet rooms, uews stands, ticket office, smoking room, dining room and a covered passage- way to the structure that Is to be erected over the tunnel. There will be a train shed GOx146 feet and containing the baggage room, ete., leading to a covered stairway which goes to the platform between the two tracks that now enter the tunnel. There will be both baggage and passenger elevators, and the arrangement in the tun- nel is such as to insure the rapid and safe handling of all the through trains, and pessengers will not have to cross any tracks either leaving or attempting to reach the car Alongside the present train shed of the Camden station there will be built another shed, from which all excursion and accom- modation trains will leave. In the center of the tunnel train shed there will be a flume, so arranged as to carry off whai little smoke may come from the tunnel. While the buildings and structures will not be of an elaborate character, they will be of modern design, and the plans show a very convenient arrangement. After the completion of the improve- ments above referred to the through trains will no longer have to back in and out of Camden station and much time will be saved and through and local passengers will be entirely separated. The old station will be given over to freight business. Leasing Approved. Receivers John K. Cowen and Oscar G. Murray of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company have been authorized by the proper judicial authority to continue their policy in leasing for business pur- poses land owned, but not required by it. It is stated that at many places along the railroad buildings have been erected with out cost to the company, and are used a stores, depots and waiting rooms where the business does not justify a station building. At other places warehouses, mills, coal and lumber yards; cattle pen and many other buildings have been erect- ed affording facilities for handling freight shipped over the railroad and increasing its business. Under the agreement by which the buildings were erected tne com- pany assumed no liability, and in the opin- ion of the general counsel of the company the latter has the right to terminate the tenancy and order their removal at any time. Connecting Links. In consequence of the inability of the officials of the Baltimore and Ohio and Southern railway companies to agree upon a plan by which the Baltimore and Ohio could continue to operate that part of their heretofore Valley division between Strasburg and Harrisonburg, which they had used for twenty-three years past, the trains of the Baltimore and Ohio will run no further south in the valley after to- day than Strasburg, eighteen miles south of Winchester. At Strasburg passenger and freight traffic will be transferred to the Southern. On the Valley road trains will come no further south than Harrison- burg. In the meantime a plan to give the Val- ley road an outlet which has been proposed may be adopted. This includes a trattic arrangement with the Chesapeake and Western railroad, which strikes the Val- ley road at Harrisonburg and runs across the valley to Elkton, where it connects with the Shenandoah division of the Nor- folk and Western railroad. This division connects with the Baltimore and Ohio at Shenandoah Junction. An arrangement of this sort would make a shorter route for western business, but a longer one for eastern business to and from points on the Valley road. It would besides take from the Baltimore and Ohio considerable hauling on all traffic carried and augment the business of the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Western. The Valley division, of which the sec- tion about to be abandoned forms a part, extends from Harper's Ferry to Lexing- ton. It is made up of the Winchester and Potomac railroad from Harper's Ferry to Winchester, thirty-two miles; Winchester and Strasburg railroad, from Winchester to Strasburg, eighteen miles; Strasburg and Harrisonburg railroad, from Strasburg to Harrisonburg, fifty-one miles, and Valley railroad, Harrisonburg to Lexington, sixty- two miles. The Winchester and Potomac and the Winchester and Strasburg are also leased to the Baltimore and Ohio. Owner- ship of stock and guaranty of -bonds gives the Baltimore ard Ohio control of the Valley road. The city of Beltimore owns $1,000,000 of the stock of the Valley road, from which it has never had any returns, and the hold- ing 1s now reckoned among the unprodu tive assets of the corporation. The receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio were aucherized a few days ago by Judge Goff of the United States court at Balti- more to surrender the Strasburg and Har- risonburg road to its owners, the Southern. This action was taken because the road was considered to be a burden to the prop- erty owing to the heavy rental charged and its smail earning capacity. It is esti- mated that the Baltimore and Ohio com- pany will save $100,000 a year by not oper- ating the line. ‘There is an impression that although the officials of the Baltimore and Ohio and Southern, who at their conference held on the subject a few days ago were unable to agree upon a plan by which the former could continue to operate the road between Strasburg and Harrisonburg, the matter will again soon be taken up and some sort of a compromise effected, by which the through service of the Baltimore and Ohio between Lexington and Baltimore, via Washington, will be be restored to its former status, so far at least as the public are concerned, and all unnecessary trans- fers of freight and passengers be stopped. Tne Chesapeake and Western, which, as above noted, may afford an outlet to the west bound and east bound traffic of the Baltimore and Ohio from Harrisonburg, is at present but twenty-seven miles long and lies between Elkton on the Norfolk and Western and Bridgewater, tapping the Baltimore and Ohio at Harrisonburg. The company has, however, 195 miles of road surveyed east and west of the present line, and contracts have been given out for its early extension. The road runs through one of the richest sections of the valley of, Virginia and, it is said, promises to be- come of great value. Tkere has seemed to be a possibility for some months past that the Pittsburg and Western railroad, one of the most impor- tant of the larger branches of the Balti- more and Ohio system, and the only route by which the Baltimore and Ohio trains can get to‘Chicago by its northern route, would pass into the hands of Andrew Car- negie. Within the past few days, however, the long pending question has been settled and the Pittsburg and Western will still re- main as a part of the parent system unless the receivers should adopt the course they se at the result.

Mr. Carnegie controls the Pittsburg, Lake Erie and Shenango railroad, extending southward from Conneaut in the direction of Fittsburg, and he is also the owner of a belt line in Pittsburg. He has made all ar- rengements for a connection between the two railroads, which, when completed, will give him a double-tracked line between Conneaut and Pittsburg. At the northern terminus of the railroad Immense docks, provided with facilities of the most modern type, will be constructed. The effect of Mr. Carnegie’s move is expected to be that he will in the near future be enabled. there~ by to produce fron and steel cheaper than his competitors, while his exclusive owner- ship,of a railroad will, it is thought, prove an important factor in the adjustment of transportation charges.

Glass Workers at Carmaux, France, walt Their Former Champion. M. Jaures, the radical socialist deputy for Carmaux, France, and other socialist members of the chamber attempted to ad- dress a mass meeting at Carmaux yester- day, but the whole party were received with mingled hisses and cheers and were pelted with filth. M. Jaures was the champion of the glass workers in their great strike last year, but he has fallen out of favor with his Car- maux constituents by the part he took in the opening of a new co-operative glass factory at Albi, which the Carmaux work- men view as a rival. Troops escorted the party of deputies from the station to the Socialist Club. As the time for the meeting arrived a free fight accurred outside the hall, and mount- ed geridarmes had to clear the approaches. Several persons were arrested, including the s6cialist ex-mayor, M. Calvinhac,whose fage was covered with blood. The uproar continued to so great an ex- tent inside the hall that M. Jaures was un- able to secure a hearing and he quitted the platform. z M. Pelletan, the deputy for Aix, succeed- ed in putting to a vote a declaration that the ccmmittee was elected, but shouts of “Resign!” “Resign!” “Out with Jaures!” prevented further business. There was a wild tumult in the hall and the opposing factions came to blows. Thereupon the commissary of police dissolved the meeting and thé genddrmes‘cleared the premises, movnted men’ outside keeping the exits clear, sthe deputies getting a very .mixed recep#ipn as they came out. They returned “tothe club to a banquet, the streets being patrolled. . a M. Jaures has issued a manifesto protest- ing against the obstacles placed'in the way of his addressing his constituents. M. Chauvin, @ Parisian deputy, has been arrested and will be tried by the Albi court on several charges. Several other socialists will be prosecuted for rioting.

Keiffer, STIR IN LIBERAL CIRCLES. Sir Robert Reid Tells Why Lord Rose- bery Recame Premier. According to the New York Evening Post's copyrighted London cablegram, no small stir has been created in liberal circles by the speech of Sir Robert Reid, attorney general in the last liberal government, at Rugby recently, repudiating Mr. Morley's attempt to hush up the long-standing dif- ference between Lord Rosebery and Sir William Harcourt, which really was the cause of Lord Rosebery’s resignation. Lord Rosebery was, he said, forced into Mr. Gladstone's place against his own inclina- tion by those who, for unexplained reaxc: declined to serve under Sir Willlam Har- court. Had Lord Rosebery declined, the government would have been broken up. The present effort to deprecate a frank facing of the situation was unwise and un- fair both to Lord Rosebery and Sir Wil- Mam Harcourt. “Sir Robert Reid evidently believes that the extreme radical section hope, by clos- ing the discussion of the leadership, to per- manently oust Lord Rosebery in favor of Sir William Harcourt. Interesting develop- ments are expected when parliament meets.” Schooner Lost at Sea. The United States consul at Liverpool Fas informed the State Department, under date of November 16, of the loss at sea of the schooner Seventy-Six of Thomaston, Me., J. F. Lee, master, laden with lumber. The crew was saved by the British sieamship Holywell, and taken to Liverpool.
