WEATHER MAN FORESEES 1 Physician Claims Pneumonia Cure After Operations By the Associated Press. VIENNA, March 19—Dr. Hans Slegenfeld of the Great Wilhciminen Hospital of Vienna, astonished the Austrian Medical Assoclation Satur- day night by telling them that he had succeeded in entirely frustrating death from pneumonia of the type which often follows long operations under anesthetics. Hitherto such cases have had a fatality record of about 33 per cent. Dr. Slegenfeld sald he used an intra-muscular injection of 20 cubic centimeters of the patient's own | blood. He said this injection could be given only after pneumonia has supervened; that it was not possible before operating and was efficacious only when the patient's lungs previ- ously were sound. He sald the high- est fever and congestion invariably disappear within a few days under such conditions. RETIRED SERGEANT OF POLICE FORCE DIES {John E.
